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 wind
shield.
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:
Make sure the unit is level.
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 recom-
mend 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.
