FEATURES

Mounting Guidelines

• Mount the unit as low as possible near the center of the

windshield.

• Do not mount the unit behind wipers, ornaments,

mirrored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal

surfaces which can affect radar and laser signals and

reduce critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass does

not affect reception).

• Some windshields have an Instaclear™or Electriclear™type

coating, which affect radar signals. Consult your dealer or

the owner’s manual supplied with your vehicle to determine if

your windshield has this coating.

• Avoid placing the unit in direct contact with the windshield.

• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal the unit when

not in use.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the unit is level

Windshield

Mounting

INSTALLATION

Windshield Mounting

• Install the two suction cups and rubber bumper onto the

bracket by fitting them into their holes.

• Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the location

you have chosen.

IMPORTANT: Some newer cars have a plastic safety coating

on the inside of the windshield. The windshield bracket may

leave permanent marks on this type of surface. To find out if

your vehicle has this type of windshield, check the vehicle’s

owner’s manual or ask your dealer. We recommend that you

do not leave the suction cup bracket on the window in direct

sunlight. If the detector is removed, this may cause blistering

of the dash in some vehicles.

• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into place.

• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the

windshield bracket. Press the bracket release button and

remove the detector before bending.

Rubber

Bumper

INSTALLATION

Power Cord Connection

• Plug the small end of the power cord into the unit’s power

jack.

• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

NOTE: Cord fits tightly into detector. When installing the

cord, expect some resistance.

Installing the Hardwire Kit

The “U” type connector must be secured to a metal surface

that is electrically connected to the battery ground (negative)

terminal.

The spade type connector can connect to either live 12 volts

or switched 12 volts at your fuse panel accessory port. If no

port is available, cut off the spade terminal, expose 1/4 to 1/2

inch of wire, and splice into a source of 12 volt power.
