MOUNTING GUIDELINES
For the best performance, select the proper location for the unit where it
has a direct view of the road. The radar antenna is located behind the rear
panel of the unit and the laser detection lenses are located behind the rear
panel of the unit and the front window. The antenna and sensors should
not be obstructed by metal or metallic surfaces and should be pointed at
the horizon for accurate long range detection.
Choose a location that does not block the driver’s vision.
Mount the detector in a level position.
Do not mount the detector behind metal surfaces, windshield antenna,
wiper blades, ornaments, or mirrored glass.
Heated windshields, currently available as an option on some Ford
(Instaclear) or GM(electriclear) vehicles act as an impenetrable barrier
to radar signals.
Note
: Whichever mounting method you choose, remember to place the
radar detector out of view when you leave your vehicle. This
keeps the detector out of sight from thieves and prevents exposure
to extremely high temperatures.
Caution
: On some newer model cars, a plastic safety coating has been
applied to the windshield. The suction cups may leave
permanent marks on the windshield once they are removed.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if your car has the
plastic safety coating.
MOUNTING TYPES
1. On Windshield
a. Attach bracket to windshield.
b. Bend bracket for correct detection angle.
