Installation 

Where to Mount Your Unit

 You will get optimum performance from your detector 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. Make sure the unit is level with the road. You can also  

mount it directly on the dashboard. 

The unit’s lens 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: 

  

g

  Windshield wiper blades

  

g

  Mirrored sun screens

  

g

  Dark tinting at the top of the windshield

  

g

   Heated windshields currently available on some vehicles  

(Instaclear for Ford, Electriclear for GM.) Consult your dealer  

to see if you have this option.

 

1.

  Attach the rubber  

cups to the bracket.

2.

  Make sure the rubber cups and your windshield are clean.

3.

  Push the bracket firmly onto 

the windshield.

4.

  Attach the detector to  

the bracket. Check the  

angle of the unit.

5.

  To adjust the angle if 

necessary, gently push or 

pull on the bracket to bend 

it. DO NOT use the detector 

to bend the bracket.

6. 

 Plug the power cord  

into the detector.

7.

  Plug the cigarette lighter 

adapter on the power  

cord into your vehicle’s 

cigarette lighter.

8.

  You can temporarily remove the detector whenever you  

wish by pressing the bracket release button and sliding  

it off the bracket.
