Where to Mount Your Unit
You will get optimum performance from
your ESD-9860 if you mount it at a point
approximately in the center of the vehicle,
as low as possible on the front windshield
without obstructing the unit's view of the
road either to the front or rear. You can
also mount it directly on the dashboard.
The unit's lenses must not be blocked and
the LaserEye
® should have a clear view out
the back window to allow 360° detection.
Radar and laser signals pass through glass
but not through other materials and objects.
Objects that can block or weaken incoming
signals include:
windshield wiper blades
mirrored sun screens
dark tinting at the top of the
windshield
heated windshields currently available
on some vehicles (Instaclear for Ford,

Electriclear for GM, ® consult your
dealer to see if you have this option)
