Installation - Beltronics 928i Vector Owner's Manual

Installation

Power Connection
To power your V928i,plug the small
end of the power cord,(telephone-type
connector) into the modular jack on the
V928i's right side,and plug the SmartCord
into your vehicle's lighter or accessory
socket.
Your V928i operates on 12 volts DC
negative ground only.The lighter plug
provided is a standard size and will work
in most vehicles.However,some vehicles
may require the optional European sleeve
to ensure a snug fit.If so,simply call our
service department to order one.This
sleeve slides over the lighter plug.Of
course,your lighter socket must be clean
and properly connected for proper
operation.
NOTE:Depending on your vehicle,the
lighter socket power may either be
continuously on,or it may be switched on
and off with your ignition switch.
Mounting Location
WARNING:BELTRONICS cannot anticipate
the many ways the V928i can be mounted.
It is important that you mount your V928i
where it will not impair your view nor
present a hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount your V928i
For optimum detection performance,we
recommend the following:
• Using the QuickMount bracket,mount
your V928i level,and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of
the road from the front and rear.
• Mount the V928i away from windshield
wipers,other solid objects,and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.

Windshield QuickMount
The V928i's QuickMount bracket is
designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free
mounting.
1
Depress the QuickMount button
on the top of the V928i (by the word
BELTRONICS) and slide the QuickMount
bracket into the slot until it is locked into
the position which best fits the angle of
your windshield (there are four settings
available).For extremely horizontal or
extremely sloped windshields,
the QuickMount bracket can
be bent.
To ensure that the suction cups
adhere to the windshield firmly,be sure to
keep both your windshield and the suction
cups clean.
2
To adjust the V928i on your
windshield,use the QuickMount
adjustment button located on the top of
the V928i,and slide the V928i forward
or backward to obtain a level horizontal
position.
When installed and adjusted properly,the
back top edge of the V928i should rest
solidly against your windshield.
Caution!
A few vehicles (including some Porsches)
have windshields with a soft anti-lacerative
coating on the inside surface.Use of
suction cups will permanently mar this
coating.Consult your dealership or the
vehicle owner's manual to determine if
your windshield has this coating.
User's Tip
You can leave the QuickMount bracket in
place on your windshield,and easily remove
the V928i by pressing the adjustment
button and sliding the V928i off the mount.
Again,be sure to position the bracket
where it won't present a hazard in the
event of an accident.Additional mounts are
available.
