INTRODUCTION

Dear Whistler Owner,

For many of us, a vehicle is more than just transportation. It

can be a mobile office, communications or entertainment

center, or simply an expression of our personality. Whistler

products are designed to make the time you spend in your

vehicle more productive, more fulfilling, safer, or just simply

more fun. Our mission is to provide products that improve

your driving experience.

Your new Whistler 1670 laser/radar detector detects all radar,

laser and safety radar systems, plus offers Whistler’s exclusive

Safe Driving System™ with Real Voice™ technology, Vehicle

Battery Saver, and Memo Features. The comprehensive safe-

ty system detects all safety radar including the Safety

Warning System™ keeping you informed of road hazards

and adverse weather. Plus, Whistler’s unique Stay Alert™ fea-

ture tests driver’s alertness on long solo trips. Whistler’s 1670

also offers a digital display with safety messages to keep you

informed while you drive, and a memo feature that allows

you to record important dates, numbers or directions.

To fully acquaint yourself with the operation of the Whistler

1670 and to better understand the differences between

detecting radar, laser and safety radar signals, we recom-

mend reading this entire manual.

Enjoy the Whistler 1670 and please drive safely.

Sincerely,

THE WHISTLER GROUP

INSTALLATION

Mounting Guidelines

•Mount the unit as low as possible near the center of the

windshield.

•Do not mount your unit behind wipers, ornaments, mir-

rored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal sur-

faces which can affect radar and laser signals and reduce crit-

icalwarning time. (Regular tinted glassdoesnot affectrecep-

tion.)

•Some windshields have an Instaclear™or Electriclear™

type coating, which affect radar signals. Consult your dealer

or the owner’s manual supplied with your vehicle to deter-

mine if your windshield has this coating.

•Avoid placing unit in direct contact with windshield.

•To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your unit when

not in use.

Windshield Mounting

•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. IMPORTANT: Some newer cars have a

plastic safety coating on the inside of the windshield. The

suction cups may leave permanent marks on this type of

surface. To find out if your vehicle has this type of wind-

shield, check the owner’s manual or ask your dealer. We

recommend that you do not leave the suction cup brack-

et on the window in direct sunlight. If the detector is

removed, this may cause blistering of the dash in some

vehicles.

•Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into place.

• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the wind-

INSTALLATION

shield bracket. Press the bracket release button and remove

the detector before bending.

Dash Mounting

•Make sure the mounting location you have chosen is

relatively level and is clean and dry. Clean with isopropyl

alcohol if necessary to remove any waxes or polishes.

•Separate the fastener strips. Peel the paper backing off

each strip and adhere one piece to the dash and the other

piece to the bottom of the unit, taking care not to cover

the serial number.

Be careful not to place the fastener strip over the unit’s serial number. If the

fastener strip is removed, the serial number may be pulled off the unit. Units

without serial numbers are not covered under warranty.

INSTALLATION

Visor Mounting (optional accessory)

• Slide the visor bracket into the bracket mounting slot.

• Clip the visor bracket onto the visor making sure it is

relatively level and has a clear view of the road.

Power Connection

• Plug the small end of the power cord into the unit’s power

jack.

• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.

Fuse Replacement

The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable 2

amp 3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To replace the

fuse, carefully unscrew the tip of the plug. (IMPORTANT:

Unscrew slowly. The tip contains a spring which may fly out

when disassembling.) Insert the new fuse with the spring and

screw on the tip. With use, screw cap on plug may loosen.

Retighten occasionally.

Unscrew the tip of the lighter socket plug carefully when replacing the 2 amp

fuse. 8

Insert into bracket mounting slot. Do not bend this

section of bracket.
