Installation; Mounting Guidelines - Whistler 1655 Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION

Mounting Guidelines

• Mount the unit as low as possible near the center of the
windshield.
• Do not mount your unit behind wipers, ornaments, mir-
rored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal sur-
faces which can affect radar and laser signals and reduce crit-
ical warning time. (Regular tinted glass does not affect recep-
tion.)
• Some newer windshields have an Instaclear
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
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.
• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into place.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the wind-
6
shield bracket. Press the bracket release button and remove
the detector before bending.
™ or
Dash Mounting
• Make sure the mounting location you have chosen is
relatively level and is clean and dry. Clean with isopropyl
alcohol if necessary to remove any waxes or polishes.
• Separate the fastener strips. Peel the paper backing off
each strip and adhere one piece to the dash and the other
piece to the bottom of the unit, taking care not to cover
the serial number.
Be careful not to place the fastener strip over the unit's serial number. If the
fastener strip is removed, the serial number may be pulled off the unit. Units
without serial numbers are not covered under warranty.
