Where to Mount Your Unit 

You will get optimum performance from your
ESD-9230 WX if you mount it at a point
approximately in the center of the vehicle,
as low as possible on the front windshield
without obstructing the unit's view of the
road either to the front or rear. You can also
mount it directly on the dashboard. 

The unit's lenses must not be blocked and
the LaserEye

®

should have a clear view out

the back window to allow 360° detection.

Radar and laser signals pass through glass
but not through other materials and objects.
Objects that can block or weaken incoming
signals include: 

windshield wiper blades

mirrored sun screens

dark tinting at the top of the 
windshield

heated windshields currently available 
on some vehicles
