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.

Power Cord Connection

• Plug the small end of the power cord into the 

unit’s power jack.

• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette 

lighter socket.

silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully unscrew
the tip of the plug.
