Installation
• Locate the tab near the button openings and
insert this end first into the unit.
• Gently snap in the other tabs as you work your
way to the back of the unit.
Mounting Guidelines

time. (Regular tinted glass does not affect
reception.)

™
or
Electriclear
™
type coating, which affect radar signals.
Consult your dealer or the vehicle’s owner’s manual to
determine if your windshield has this coating.

• Avoid placing unit in direct sunlight.
• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your
unit when not in use.

onto the bracket by fitting them into their holes.

location you have chosen.
