Power Connection
To power your V995, plug the small end of
the power cord, (telephone-type
connector) into the modular jack on the
V995’s right side, and plug the lighter plug
adapter into your vehicle’s lighter socket or
accessory socket.
Your V995 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 V995
can be mounted. It is important that
you mount your V995 where it will not
impair your view nor present a
hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount your V995
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the QuickMount bracket, mount
your V995 level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of
the road from the front and rear.
• Mount the V995 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.
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 V995 by pressing the adjustment button
and sliding the V995 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.
Windshield QuickMount
V995’s QuickMount bracket is designed for
unobtrusive and hassle-free mounting.
1
Depress the QuickMount button on
the top of the V995 (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 the V995 on your windshield,
use the QuickMount adjustment button
located on the top of the V995, and slide
the V995 forward or backward to obtain a
level horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the
back top edge of the V995 should rest
solidly against your windshield.
