Mounting Guidelines

• Mount the unit as low as possible near the 

center of the windshield.  

• Do not mount your 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 unit in direct contact with wind

shield.

• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your

unit when not in use.

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:

Make sure the unit is level.

IMPORTANT:  Some 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

owner’s manual or ask your dealer. We recom-

mend 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.
