Page 5: Installation
INSTALLATION Mounting Guidelines • Mount the unit as low as possible near the center of the windshield. • Do not mount the unit behind wipers, ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal surfaces which can affect radar and laser signals and reduce critical warning time. - Page 6 INSTALLATION 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 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.

POP™ MODE ALERTS POP™ Mode Alerts POP™ Mode is a feature on some radar guns operating on K and Ka bands. When the gun is in POP™ Mode and activated, a brief burst of energy, less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and the vehicle’s speed is quickly acquired. -
