Whistler LASER-RADAR PRO-68SE - Manual (Page 3)

Mounting Guidelines
• Mount the unit as low as possible near the
center of the windshield.
• Do not mount your unit behind wipers,
ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These
obstructions have metal surfaces which can
affect radar and laser signals and reduce
critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass
does not affect reception.)
• Some windshields have an Instaclear ™ or
Electriclear ™ type coating, which affects 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 contact with wind
shield.
• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your
unit when not in use.
Windshield Mounting
• Install the two suction cups and rubber bumper
onto the bracket by fitting them into their holes.
• Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the
location you have chosen. (Image A)
Important: S ome newer cars have a plastic safety
coating on the inside of the windshield. The
windshield bracket may leave permanent marks on this
type of surface. To find out if your vehicle has this type
of windshield, check the vehicle’s owner’s manual or
ask your dealer.
