INSTALLATION
• Some windshields have an Instaclear
type coating, which affect radar signals. Consult your deal-
er 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 loca-
tion you have chosen. IMPORTANT: Some newer cars
have a plastic safety coating on the inside of the wind-
shield. 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 sun-
light. If the detector is removed, this may cause blis-
tering 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
windshield bracket. Press the bracket release button and
remove the detector before bending.

Compass Mode
The 1760/1765 is programmed from the factory in "Combo
Mode". Combo mode means that the unit provides both
compass readings as well as detecting laser/radar signals.
Through the "Option Select Mode", either laser/radar or
compass features can be turned off meaning, Radar equals
detection of all police bands and laser; Compass equals no
detection of police laser/radar.
Note: The unit must be calibrated to provide accurate com-
pass readings. See Compass Calibration Set-up section on
page 9.
Auto Quiet Mode
Auto Quiet reduces the selected audio level to level (1)
approximately 5 seconds after a radar or safety radar signal
is detected. The alert for any new signal within 20 seconds
will resume at level (1). Auto Quiet does not affect VG-2 or
laser alerts.
• Press Quiet/Menu (before a signal is detected) to
engage Auto Quiet. Display reads:
• Once the Auto Quiet mode is engaged, you may cancel
the audio alarm by pressing Quiet.
• Press Quiet (when the unit is not alarming) to cancel
Auto Quiet mode.

shield in which it will be used. Make sure there are no
other magnetic sources near the detector (i.e., speaker).
2. Select a large clear area (parking lot or field) without
any power lines.
3. While parked, press both volume buttons simultane-
ously until unit displays:

buttons simultaneously to complete calibration. The unit
will beep twice and display, for example:

to windshield mounting or dash mounting), or if the unit is
moved to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the com-
pass.
