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.
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 the 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.

INST ALLA TION OF LASER ANTENNA
Antenna Cable to the Battery
CAUTION: Always wear safety glasses and exercise caution
when working near the battery. Car batteries emit hydrogen
gas while charging and may explode if sparks are present.
Once the antenna is installed connect the cable from the
radar antenna to quick disconnect power cable. Tie this cable
in a knot similar to using an electrical extension cord. Locate
the power and ground connection terminals on the power
cable. Connect the positive lead (wire with fuse holder) to the
positive terminal on your car battery (on a conventional battery,
remove the terminal first, on a side-mounted battery, remove
the wire assembly from the terminal). Connect the other lead
to the battery ground (the battery ground is generally a bolt
located on the inner fender well, adjacent to the battery).
NOTE: For optimum performance and freedom from battery
related problems, make sure your car's battery terminals are
clean and free from any corrosion.
Using the supplied tie wraps, secure the excess power cable
away from all moving engine components.
General Laser Information
The laser antenna provides both front and rear laser reception.
Mount the laser antenna 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 that away from it when laser
speed enforcement is encountered. For effective protection,
make sure the laser antenna has an unobstructed view forward
and behind, and that it is not placed behind metallic sun screens.
