FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS
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 coatings, which affect radar
signals. Consult your dealer or the owner’s
manual supplied with your vehicle 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.
IMPORTANT: Some 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 owner’s manual or ask
your dealer. We recommend that you do not leave
the suction cup bracket on the window in direct
sunlight. If the detector is removed, this may cause
blistering of the dash in some vehicles.

Fuse Replacement
The lighter socket plug is equipped with a
replaceable 2 amp 3AG fuse located behind
the silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully
unscrew the tip of the plug.

disassembling. Insert the new fuse with the

Unscrew the tip of the lighter socket plug
carefully when replacing the 2 amp fuse.
