Whistler XTR-430 Radar Detector User Manual


 
Important:
S
ome newer cars have a plastic safety
c
oating on the inside of the windshield. The
w
indshield bracket may leave permanent marks on this
type of surface. To find out if your vehicle has this type
o
f windshield, check the vehicle’s owner’s manual or
a
sk your dealer. We recommend that you do not
leave the suction cup bracket on the windshield in
direct sunlight. If the detector is removed, this may
c
ause blistering of the dash in some vehicles.
Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into
place. (Image B)
If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the
windshield bracket. Press the bracket release button
and remove the detector before bending.
