Mounting Guidelines
•
Mount the unit as low as possible near the center of the
windshield.
•
Do not mount your unit behind wipers, ornaments,
mirrored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have
metal surfaces which can affect radar and laser signals
and reduce critical warning time.
(Regular tinted glass does
not affect reception.)
•
Some windshields have an Instaclear
™
or Electriclear
™
type coating, which affect radar signals. Consult your
dealer or the owner’s manual supplied with your
vehicle to determine if your windshield has this coating.
•
Avoid placing unit in direct contact with windshield.
•
To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your
unit when not in use.
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 windshield bracket 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.
Visor Mounting (Optional Accessory)
•
Slide the visor bracket into the bracket mounting slot.
•
Clip the visor bracket onto the visor making sure it is
relatively level and has a clear view of the road.

Power Connection
•
Plug the small end of the power cord into the unit’s
power jack.
•
Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette 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.

Feature Engaged Confirmation
Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms feature
“on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.
Quiet Mode
The QUIET Button accesses one of two muting options.
Note: 1734 will go to volume level 1 instead of
clicking.
Auto Quiet Mode
Pressing QUIET before a radar signal is detected provides
an alternate alert pattern, consisting of four beeps
(indicating X, K, Ka or Safety Radar) followed by clicking.
The clicking will continue for as long as the detected
signal is present or any new signal is detected within
20 seconds, becoming more rapid as the strength of the
signal increases.
If Auto Quiet is engaged, pressing QUIET while the unit
is alarming will cancel the beeps or clicking.
Pressing QUIET a second time when the unit is not
alarming will cancel Auto Quiet mode and restore the
continuous audio alert pattern.
Vehicle Battery Saver Mode
The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatically shuts off
your detector after 6 hours if you forget to turn it off. The
timer is reset if the detector is turned off, unplugged or
any button is pressed before the time has expired. The
detector will alert you with an audible and visual warning
before it shuts off.
