location you have chosen.
Rubber
Bumper
Important: S ome 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 vehicle's 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 windshield bracket. Press the bracket release
button and remove the detector before bending.
