Whistler 1675 - Manual (Page 8)

INSTALLATION
Mounting Guidelines
• Mount the unit as low and level as possible near the center
of the windshield. Unit must be level for compass to function
properly.
• 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
owner’s manual supplied with your vehicle to determine if
your windshield has this coating.
• Avoid placing unit in direct contact with windshield.
• 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
suction cups 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.
• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into place.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the wind-
