Whistler XTR-430 - Manual (Page 3)

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. We recommend that you do not
leave the suction cup bracket on the windshield in
direct sunlight. If the detector is removed, this may
cause blistering of the dash in some vehicles.
• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into
place. (Image B)
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the
windshield bracket. Press the bracket release button
and remove the detector before bending.
Power Cord Connection
• Plug the small end of the power cord into the
unit’s power jack.
• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter
socket.
N No otte e:: Cord fits tightly into detector. When
installing the cord, expect some resistance.

replaceable 2 amp, 3AG fuse located behind the
silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully unscrew the
tip of the plug.

spring which may fly out when disassembling.
