Where to mount the SC55
For optimum performance, we
recommend the following:
Using the supplied combination

detector level on your front windshield.
Or, you may also use the supplied hook
and loop fastener to position the SC55 on
the dashboard. Please ensure it has a clear
view of the sky.
NOTE: In order for the SC55’s GPS
technology to work properly, the top
case must have a clear view of the sky
Power Connection
To power the SC55 and detector, plug the
small end of the SmartCord, (telephone-

left side marked “power”, and plug the
lighter plug adapter into your vehicle’s
lighter socket or accessory socket.
The SC55 operates on 12 volts DC
negative ground only. The lighter plug
provided is a standard size and will work
