To power XR70, plug the small end of the
SmartPlug, (telephone-type connector) into
the modular jack on XR70's right side, and
plug the lighter plug adapter into your
vehicle's lighter socket or accessory socket.
XR70 operates on 12 volts DC negative
ground only. The lighter plug provided is a
standard size and will work in most vehicles.
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 Direct-wire SmartPlug.

WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot antici-
pate the many ways the XR70 can be
mounted.
It is important that you mount XR70 where
it will not impair your view nor present a
hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount XR70
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Mount XR70 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.
• The XR70 can also be used with the
optional under cover sunvisor holder.

Installation
W
Wiinnddsshhiieelldd QQuuiicckkMMoouunntt
XR70’s QuickMount bracket is designed for
unobtrusive and hassle-free mounting.
1
Depress the QuickMount button on the
top of XR70 (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 XR70 on your windshield,
use the QuickMount adjustment button
located on the top of the XR70, and slide
XR70 forward or backward to obtain a level
horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the
back top edge of the XR70 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 wind-
shield has this coating.
Templates!
Excessive heat (over 60
o
C) can damage
your Safety Detector. Do not leave it on the
dash or windscreen, in direct sunlight, or in a
unventilated vehicle when not in use.
User’s Tip
You can leave the QuickMount bracket in
place on your windshield, and easily remove
the XR70 by pressing the adjustment button
and sliding XR70 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.
