Location
Se l e cting the pro per location to mount the Co b r a
ESD-9550 is ve ry impo rt a nt for optimum
pe rfo rm a n c e.Both radar and laser tra n s m i s s i o n s
pass through glass but not through other object s.
For this reason the Co b r a ESD-9550 lenses must not
be bloc ke d.The Laser Eye should have a view of the
rear window to take adva ntage of its 360˚ d e te ct i o n
ca p a b i l i t y.It is best to locate your d e te ctor as low on
the fro nt windshield as po s s i b l e .
Examples of metal in the windshield area that can
block or weaken incoming radar/laser signals:
1.Windshield wiper blades.
2. Mirrored sun screens.
3. Regular tinted glass does not affect radar
reception,although the darker tint at the
top of the tinted windshield prevents laser
light from penetrating.
4. Heated windshields, currently available as an
option for some Ford® (Instaclear) and GM®
(Electriclear vehicles act as an impenetrable
barrier to radar signals). If in doubt, check
with your dealer to see if this applies to
your vehicle.
