Mounting Guidelines

Windshield Mounting

4

INSTALLATION

• 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. (Regular tinted glass
does not affect reception).
• Some 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 the unit in direct contact with
the windshield.
• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal
the unit when not in use.
I I M M P P O O R R T T A A N N T T : Make sure the unit is level
• 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.
