FEATURES

Whistler’s ergonomic and user-friendly design provides a new

level of operating convenience. Special features include:

1. Bracket Release Button – provides quick and easy release of the

mounting bracket.

2. Speaker – provides distinct audio warnings for X, K, Ka band radar

and laser.

3. Mounting Bracket Location – slot holds mounting bracket firmly.

4. Radar Antenna – compact, high-efficiency antenna receives radar

signals.

5. Front Laser – high gain optical lens provides increased sensitivity

and field of view for leading-edge laser detection.

6. Rear Laser – an integrated optical waveguide provides superior

detection of laser signals transmitted from behind.

7. City Button - reduces the annoyance of false alerts typically

encountered in urban driving areas.

8. Quiet Button - pressing QUIET before a signal is detected

audio level.

10. Dim / Dark - engages Dim/Dark modes.

modes of operation.

alert.

14. GPS Antenna - provides Traffic Camera alerts as well as other

speed selective settings.

15. Power Jack – provides connection for the power cord.

16. USB Jack - provides connection to a PC for data updates.

INSTALLATION

Mounting Guidelines

•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™or 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.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the unit is level

Windshield

Mounting

INSTALLATION

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 windshield bracket may leave

permanent marks on this type of surface. To find out if your

vehicle has this type of windshield, check the vehicle’s owner’s

manual or ask your dealer. We recommend that you do not leave

the suction cup bracket 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 windshield

bracket. Press the bracket release button and remove the

detector before bending.
