Mounting Guidelines

• Mount the unit as low as possible near the center of the 

windshield. 

• Do not mount the unit behind wipers, ornaments, 

mirrored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal 
surfaces which can affect radar and laser signals and 
reduce critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass 
does not affect reception).

• Some windshields have an Instaclear

or Electriclear

type 

coating, which affect radar signals. Consult your dealer or the 
owner’s manual supplied with your vehicle to determine 
if your windshield has this coating.

• Avoid placing the unit in direct contact with the windshield.

• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal the unit when 

not in use.

IMPORTANT

: Make sure the unit is level

Mounting

Windshield Mounting

• Install the two suction cups and rubber bumper onto the bracket 

by fitting them into their holes.

• Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the location you 

have chosen.

Important: 

S

ome newer cars have a plastic safety coating on the

inside of the windshield. The windshield bracket may leave
permanent marks on this type of surface. To find out if your vehicle
has this type of windshield, check the vehicle’s owner’s manual or
ask your dealer. We recommend that you do not leave the suction
cup bracket on the window in direct sunlight. If the detector is
removed, this may cause blistering of the dash in some
vehicles.

• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into place.

• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the windshield 

bracket. Press the bracket release  button and remove the 
detector before bending.
