radar and laser.
3. Mounting Bracket Location - slot holds mounting bracket firmly
4. Radar Antenna - compact, high-efficiency antenna receives

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.

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

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.

Power Cord 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 socket.
NOTE: Cord fits tightly into detector. When installing the
cord, expect some resistance.

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.
