Power Connection
To power Pro300, plug the small end of the
SmartCord, (telephone-type connector)
into the modular jack on Pro300’s right
side, and plug the lighter plug adapter into
your vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory
socket.
Pro300 operates on 12 volts DC negative
ground only. The lighter plug provided is a
standard size and will work in most
vehicles. However, some vehicles may
require the optional European sleeve
to ensure a snug fit. If so, simply call our
service department to order one. This
sleeve slides over the SmartCord’s lighter
plug adapter. Of course, your lighter socket
must be clean and properly connected for
proper operation.
NOTE: Depending on your vehicle, the
lighter socket power may either be
continuously on, or it may be switched on
and off with your ignition switch.
Optional power cords
See the Accessories section for details.
Mounting Location
WARNING: Beltronics cannot anticipate the
many ways the Pro300 can be mounted.
It is important that you mount Pro300
where it will not impair your view nor
present a hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount Pro300
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the Windshield QuickMount,
mount your Pro300 level, and high enough
on your front windshield to provide a clear
view of the road from the front and rear.
• Mount Pro300 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.

Installation

Windshield QuickMount
Pro300’s QuickMount windshield bracket
is designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free
mounting.
1
Depress the QuickMount button on
the top of Pro300 (by the word
BELTRONICS) and slide the QuickMount
bracket into the slot until it is locked into
the position which best fits the angle of
your windshield (there are four settings
available). For extremely horizontal
or extremely sloped windshields,
the QuickMount bracket can
be bent.
To ensure that the suction cups
adhere to the windshield firmly, be sure to
keep both your windshield and the suction
cups clean.
2
To adjust Pro300 on your windshield,
use the QuickMount adjustment button
located on the top of the Pro300, and slide
Pro300 forward or backward to obtain a
level horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the
back top edge of the Pro300 should rest
solidly against your windshield.
Caution!
A few vehicles (including some Porsches)
have windshields with a soft anti-lacerative
coating on the inside surface. Use of
suction cups will permanently mar this
coating. Consult your dealership or the
vehicle owner’s manual to determine if
your windshield has this coating.
User’s Tip
You can leave the QuickMount bracket in
place on your windshield, and easily
remove the Pro300 by pressing the
adjustment button and sliding it off the
mount. Again, be sure to position the
bracket where it won’t present a hazard in
the event of an accident. Additional mounts
are available.
