SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION
For the best performance, select a location for the detector
where it has a direct view of the road. The detector's radar an-
tenna is at the opposite end from display.
Note:
Though the detector has a 360° laser and radar detection
coverage, the radar detection is more sensitive to the front.
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
defogging
windshields, which have metal coatings that block signals.
Some vehicles have a solar shield that block signals.
Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual to see if your vehicle
has 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.
