Installation; Mounting Guidelines - Whistler 1785A Owner's Manual

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 func-
tion 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
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 wind-
shield, 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-
shield bracket. Press the bracket release button and remove
the detector before bending.
