Power Connection
To power V965, plug the small end of the
power cord, (telephone-type connector)
into the modular jack on V965’s right side,
and plug the lighter plug adapter into your
vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory socket.
V965 operates on 12 volts DC negative
ground only. The lighter plug provided is a
standard size and will work in most
vehicles. However, some vehicles may
require the optional European sleeve to
ensure a snug fit. If so, simply call our
service department to order one. This
sleeve slides over the lighter plug. Of
course, your lighter socket must be clean
and properly connected for proper
operation.
Note: Depending on your vehicle, the
lighter socket power may either be
continuously on, or it may be switched on
and off with your ignition switch.
Optional power cords
See the Accessories section for details on
our optional coiled SmartPlug or Direct-wire
power cords.

Mounting Location
WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot anticipate
the many ways the V965 can be mounted.
It is important that you mount V965 where
it will not impair your view nor present a
hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount V965
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the QuickMount bracket, mount
your V965 level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of
the road from the front and rear.
• Mount V965 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.

Installation
Windshield QuickMount
V965’s QuickMount bracket is designed for
unobtrusive and hassle-free mounting.
1
Depress the QuickMount button on the
top of V965 (by the word BELTRONICS)
and slide the QuickMount bracket into the
slot until it is locked into the position which
best fits the angle of your windshield (there
are four settings available). For extremely
horizontal or extremely sloped
windshields, the QuickMount
bracket can be bent.
To ensure that the suction cups
adhere to the windshield firmly, be sure to
keep both your windshield and the suction
cups clean.
2
To adjust V965 on your windshield, use
the QuickMount adjustment button
located on the top of the V965, and slide
V965 forward or backward to obtain a level
horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the
back top edge of the V965 should rest
solidly against your windshield.
Caution!
A few vehicles (including some Porsches)
have windshields with a soft anti-lacerative
coating on the inside surface. Use of suction
cups will permanently mar this coating.
Consult your dealership or the vehicle
owner’s manual to determine if your
windshield has this coating.
User’s Tip
You can leave the QuickMount bracket in
place on your windshield, and easily remove
the V965 by pressing the adjustment button
and sliding V965 off the mount. Again, be
sure to position the bracket where it won’t
present a hazard in the event of an accident.
Additional mounts are available.
