Radio Shack VG-2 Guard - Manual (Page 12)

• Some vehicles have InstaClear ® or ElectriClear ®
defogging windshields, which have metal coatings
that block signals. General Motors APV vans have a
solar shield that keeps the vehicle cooler during the
summer. This shield also blocks signals. A detector
installed in a vehicle with any of these features will
probably not detect a signal.
• Since window tinting reduces the received strength
of laser signals, you should not mount the detector
behind any tinted glass.
• Do not mount the detector where the driver or a
passenger might hit it in a sudden stop or accident.
Caution: Whichever mounting method you choose, place
the detector out of view when you leave the vehicle. This
keeps the detector out of sight of thieves and prevents
exposing it to extremely high temperatures, which can
temporarily impair your detector’s performance.
HOOK-AND-LOOP MOUNTING
For some dashboards, the hook-and-loop tape sup-
plied with your detector might be best for mounting.
Follow these steps to use the hook-and-loop tape.
1. Use a damp cloth to thoroughly clean both the bot-
tom of the detector and the dashboard. Let both sur-
faces dry completely.
