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.
