WHISTLER FEATURES FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS
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
• 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 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 contact with windshield.
• Avoid placing unit in direct sunlight.
• 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.
• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into
place.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the
windshield bracket.
• Press the bracket release button and remove the
detector before bending.
