Installation
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 and insure its view of
the road is not blocked by any metal object.
Some vehicles have InstaClear
‚ or ElectriClear
‚ defog-
ging windshields, which have metal coatings that block sig-
nals. Some vehicles have a solar shield that block signals.
Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual to see if your vehicle
has any of these features. A detector installed in a vehicle
with any of these features will probably not detect a signal.
Since window tinting reduces the received strength of laser
signals, you should not mount the detector behind any
tinted glass.
Do not mount the detector where the driver or a passenger
might hit it in a sudden stop or accident.
Caution:
Place the detector out of view when you leave the ve-
hicle. This keeps the detector out of sight of thieves and pre-
vents exposing it to extremely high temperatures, which might
temporarily impair your detector's performance.
