INSTALLATION
SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION
For the best performance, select a location for the detec-
tor where it has a direct view of the road. The detector's
radar antenna is at the opposite end from the display.
Note
: Though the detector has a 360° laser and radar de-
tection range, the radar detection is more sensitive in the
front range.
Mounting Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when selecting a location.
Choose a location that does not block the driver’s
view of the road.
Mount the detector in a level position with a clear
view to both the front and rear of your vehicle.
The detector’s view of the road must not be blocked
by any metal object.
Some vehicles have InstaClear
or ElectriClear
defogging windshields, which have metal coatings
that block signals. General Motor’s APV vans have a
solar shield that keeps the vehicle cooler during the
summer, but also blocks signals. A detector installed
in a vehicle with any of these features will probably
not detect a signal.
