SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION
For the best performance, select a location for the detector
where it has a direct view of the road. The detector’s radar an-
tenna is located at the opposite end from the display.
• Choose a location that does not block the driver’s view of
the road.
• Mount the detector in a level position with a clear view to
both the front and rear of your vehicle and insure its view of
the road is not blocked by any metal object.
• Some vehicles have InstaClear
or ElectriClear
defogging
windshields, which have metal coatings that block signals.
Some vehicles have a solar shield that block signals.
Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual to see if your vehicle
has any of these features. A detector installed in a vehicle
with any of these features might not detect a signal.
• Since window tinting reduces the received strength of laser
signals, you should not mount the detector behind any
tinted glass.
• Do not mount the detector where the driver or a passenger
might hit it in a sudden stop or accident.
