Power Connection
To apply power to the STi MAGNUM, plug
the small end of the power cord,
(telephone type connector) into the
modular jack on the STi MAGNUM’s right
side, and plug the lighter plug adapter into
your vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory
socket.
Your STi MAGNUM 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 and we’ll send you one.
This sleeve slides over the power cord’s
lighter plug adapter. Of course, your lighter
socket must be clean and properly
connected for proper operation.
Mounting Location
Where to mount STi MAGNUM
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the Windshield QuickMount,
mount your STi MAGNUM level, and
high enough on your front windshield to
provide a clear view of the road from the
front and rear.
• Mount the STi MAGNUM away from
windshield wipers, other solid objects, and
heavily tinted areas that might obstruct the
radar antenna or laser lens.

Installation
Windshield QuickMount
The STi MAGNUM’s QuickMount wind-
shield bracket is designed for unobtrusive
and hassle-free mounting and removal.
1
Depress the adjustment button on
the top of the STi MAGNUM (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 the STi MAGNUM on your
windshield, use the QuickMount
adjustment button located on the top
of the STi MAGNUM, and slide the STi
MAGNUM forward or backward to obtain a
level position.
User’s Tip
You can leave the QuickMount bracket
in place on your windshield, and easily
remove STi MAGNUM by pressing the
adjustment button and sliding the STi
MAGNUM 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 for other
vehicles in your household.

N0TE:
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. We
suggest using a direct-wire SmartPlug
connected to a switched circuit at the
fuse box if the lighter socket is
continuously on.
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.
WARNING:
BELTRONICS cannot
anticipate the many ways STi MAGNUM
can be mounted. It is important that you
mount STi MAGNUM where it will not
impair your view nor present a hazard
in case of an accident.
NOTE:
When installed and adjusted
properly, the back top edge of the STi
MAGNUM should rest solidly against
your windshield.
