Installation

Power Connection

To power your V955, plug the small end of
the power cord, (telephone-type
connector) into the modular jack on the
V955's right side, and plug the lighter plug
adapter into your vehicle's lighter socket or
accessory socket.
Your V955 operates on 12 volts DC
negative ground only. The lighter plug
provided is a standard size and will work in
most vehicles. However, some vehicles may
require the optional European sleeve to
ensure a snug fit. If so, simply call our
service department to order one. This
sleeve slides over the lighter plug. Of
course, your lighter socket must be clean
and properly connected for proper
operation.
Note: Depending on your vehicle, the
lighter socket power may either be
continuously on, or it may be switched on
and off with your ignition switch.
Optional power cords
See the Accessories section for details on
our optional coiled SmartPlug or Direct-wire
power cords. Page 25

Mounting Location

WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot anticipate
the many ways the V955 can be mounted.
It is important that you mount your V955
where it will not impair your view nor
present a hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount your V955
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the QuickMount bracket, mount
your V955 level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of
the road from the front and rear.
• Mount the V955 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.
