3300 Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION OF RADAR ANTENNA
Mount the antenna to the vehicle such that the ANTENNA window
is facing the road surface, sky, right or left of the vehicle, and the
reflector has an unobstructed view of the road ahead.

Antenna window
Signal
Radar antenna mounted(vertical) with 45º Reflector.
Mounted in this position, radar signals are reflected into the
ANTENNA window.
Mounting the Temperature Probe
Find a location that is far enough away from engine and radiator
heat but still in the airflow for the vehicle. Mounting the Probe too
close to these heat areas will give a false high temperature.
• Attach the mountable tie wrap (supplied) to the Temperature
Probe as shown.
• Mark location for Probe, then drill a hole using a 7/64" drill bit.
Attach Probe with tie wrap in the correct orientation using the #6
x 3/4 screws.
NOTE: Mount the Probe so that there is space between the Probe
and the mounting area.
Do not mount Probe directly to metal area.

INSTALLATION OF LRM-5

Antenna Cable To Control Panel
Once the antenna is installed, run the cable along the edge of the
engine compartment to the firewall. Find a location in the firewall
where other wires (or the speedometer cable) enter the passenger
compartment and feed the stereo jack connection through. Be
careful not to interfere with or disconnect other wires, cables, or
mechanical systems of your vehicle while routing the antenna cable.
Also, keep the antenna cable away from any areas in the engine
compartment that may become hot. Cable ties are provided to
secure the antenna and Temperature Probe cables at various points
in the engine compartment.
General Information
The LRM-5 (Laser Receive Module) provides both front and rear laser
reception. Mount the LRM-5 with the 3-lens array facing forward
(down the road) and the single lens facing behind. This approach
offers the greatest protection, since you will most often be traveling
into a laser signal, rather than away from it when laser speed
enforcement is encountered. For effective protection, make sure the
LRM-5 has an unobstructed view forward and behind, and that it is
not placed behind metallic sun screens.
Mounting The LRM-5
The LRM-5 can be mounted to the front windshield using the
windshield bracket supplied.
