Mounting Guidelines
Mount the unit as low as possible near the
c
enter of the windshield.
Do not mount the unit behind wipers,
ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These
o
bstructions have metal surfaces which can
a
ffect radar and laser signals and reduce
c
ritical warning time. (Regular tinted glass
d
oes not affect reception).
Some windshields have an Instaclear
or
E
lectriclear
t
ype coating, which affect radar
s
ignals. Consult your dealer or the vehicle’s
owner’s manual to determine if your
windshield has this coating.
Avoid placing the unit in direct contact with the
windshield.
To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal the
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.
