Installation
Windshield Mount
Power Connection
To power the Pro500, plug the small end
of the SmartCord, (telephone-type
connector) into the modular jack on the
Pro500’s right side, and plug the lighter
plug adapter into your vehicle’s lighter
socket or accessory socket.
The Pro500 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 our optional sleeve to ensure
a snug fit. If so, simply call or visit our
website.
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
Call or visit our website for our optional
Direct-wire cords.
Mounting Location
WARNING: Beltronics cannot
anticipate the many ways the Pro500
can be mounted. It is important that
you mount the Pro500 where it will
not impair your view or present a
hazard in case of an accident.

To adjust the Pro500 on your
windshield, use the EasyMount adjustment
button located on the top of the Pro500,
and slide Pro500 forward or backward to
obtain a level horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly,
the back top edge of the Pro500 should
rest solidly against your windshield.
User’s Tip
You can leave the bracket in place on your
windshield, and easily remove the Pro500
by pressing the adjustment button and
sliding it off the mount. Again, be sure to
position the bracket where it won’t
present a hazard in the event of an
accident.
Where to mount Pro500
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the supplied windshield mount,
mount your Pro500 level and high enough
on your front windshield to provide a clear
view of the road ahead. For optimum rear
detection, center the detector between
the driver and passenger.
• Mount the Pro500 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.
NOTE: In order for the Pro500’s
GPS based features to work properly,
the top case must have a clear view of
the sky.
Windshield Mount
The Pro500’s windshield bracket is
designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free
mounting.
1
Depress the adjustment button on the
top of the Pro500 (by the word
BELTRONICS) and slide the 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 bracket
can also be bent to the correct angle.
However, we suggest that you do not do
this when the bracket is connected to the
detector.
To ensure that the suction cups
adhere to the windshield firmly, be sure to
keep both your windshield and the
suction cups clean.
