Windshield Mounting
• Install the two suction cups and rubber bumper onto
the bracket by fitting them into their holes.
• Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the
location you have chosen. IMPORTANT: Some
newer cars have a plastic safety coating on the
inside of the windshield. The suction cups may
leave permanent marks on this type of surface. To
find out if your vehicle has this type of windshield,
check the owner’s manual or ask your dealer. We
recommend that you do not leave the suction cup
bracket on the window in direct sunlight. If the
detector is removed, this may cause blistering of
the dash in some vehicles.
• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks
into place.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the
windshield bracket. Press the bracket release button
and remove the detector before bending.

lighter.
Fuse Replacement
The lighter socket plug is equipped with a
replaceable 2 amp 3AG fuse located behind the
silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully unscrew
the tip of the plug. (IMPORTANT: Unscrew
slowly. The tip contains a spring which may fly
out when disassembling.) Insert the new fuse
with the spring and screw on the tip. With use,
screw cap on plug may loosen. Retighten
occasionally.
Unscrew the tip of the lighter socket plug
carefully when replacing the 2 amp fuse.

Compass Calibration Set-up
The unit will need to be calibrated in order for
the compass to provide accurate readings. To
calibrate the unit, perform the following
procedure:
1. Mount the unit level in the center of the
vehicle’s windshield in which it will be used.
Make sure there are no other magnetic
sources near the detector (i.e., speaker).
2. Select a large clear area (parking lot or field)
without any power lines.
3. While parked, press both volume buttons
simultaneously until unit displays:
4. Drive vehicle slowly in at least two complete
circles. If calibration does not automatically
finish press both volume buttons simultane-
ously to complete calibration. The unit will
beep twice and display, for example:
Note: If unit mounting is relocated in the vehicle,
(i.e., visor to windshield mounting or dash mount-
ing), or if the unit is moved to another vehicle, you
must recalibrate the compass.

Compass Mode
The 1763 is programmed from the factory in “Combo
Mode”. Combo mode means that the unit provides
both compass readings as well as detecting laser/radar
signals. Through the “Option Select Mode”, either
laser / radar or compass features can be turned off
meaning, Radar equals detection of all police bands
and laser; Compass equals no detection of police
laser/radar.
Note: The unit must be calibrated to provide accurate
compass readings. See Compass Calibration Set-up
section on page 8.
Auto Quiet Mode
Auto Quiet reduces the selected audio level to level
(1) approximately 5 seconds after a radar or safety
radar signal is detected. The alert for any new signal
within 20 seconds will resume at level (1). Auto Quiet
does not affect VG-2 or laser alerts.
• Press Quiet/Menu (before a signal is detected) to
engage Auto Quiet. Display reads:
• Once the Auto Quiet mode is engaged, you may
cancel the audio alarm by pressing Quiet.
