1) Mounting Guidelines
For the best performance, select the proper location for the unit
where it has a direct view of the road. The radar antenna is located
behind the rear panel of the unit and the laser detection lenses are
located behind the rear panel of the unit and the front window. The
antenna and sensors should not be obstructed by metal or metallic
surfaces and should be pointed at the horizon for accurate long
range detection.
・Choose a location that does not block the driver’s vision.
・Mount the detector in a level position.
・Do not mount the detector behind metal surfaces, windshield
antenna, wiper blades, ornaments, or mirrored glass.
・Heated windshields, currently available as an option on some Ford
(Instaclear) or GM(electriclear) vehicles act as an impenetrable
barrier to radar signals.
・Do not mount the detector where the driver or passenger might
collide in the case of an abrupt halt.
N o t e : Whichever mounting method you choose, remember to
place the radar detector out of view when you leave your
vehicle.
This keeps the detector out of sight from thieves and
prevents exposure to extremely high temperatures.
N o t e : If necessary, you may adjust the bracket to the proper angle
by bending it. To remove your detector, pull up the detector
from the front pulling it towards you.
Caution : On some newer model cars, a plastic safety coating has
been applied to the windshield. The suction cups may leave
permanent marks on the windshield once they are removed.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if your car has
the plastic safety coating.
