INSTALLATION
Radar Detector: It is very important that the antenna is mounted
properly. Determine the best location for the Radar Detector. The
optimal location for mounting the Radar Detector depends on the
motorcycle’s type.
For Speed Bikes the optimal location is usually found around the cowl
or front or side fairings. Under the cowl is probably the best place if your
motorcycle allows it.
For Cruisers the optimal location is usually found under the headlight.
Choose a location that better suits your motorcycle type. Make sure it
will have a clear view of the road.
Using the supplied mounting bracket, mark location. Drill pilot holes in
the motorcycle if desired and/or necessary. Make sure bracket is
securely fastened.
Avoid placing Radar Detector in a location that will interfere with the
view of the road or the gauges.
Fit the mounting bracket using the washer screws.
Make sure that the lens of the antenna faces in the driving direction.

CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY
Connect the Radar Detector power cable to any power source that has
12V and is powered with the ignition. Example: ignition fuse or main
power fuse. DO NOT connect directly to battery.
The wire with both red and black is positive.
The solid black wire is ground.
Press the POWER button on the wireless Head Set. Communication
between radar and Helmet device will be automatically connected, as
long as the detector is powered on by motorcycle.
Keep all cables away from moving parts and hot surfaces (motor, tires,
muffler, etc.).
Make sure the wires are fastened securely with provided cable ties to
avoid accidental damage to the wire.
Extra wire should be fastened securely and placed out of the way.
Note:
The Radar Detector may not power on if engine is not running.
Note:
DO NOT drill holes in the Radar Detector itself and always
thoroughly inspect the location before drilling any holes. We do not
recommend installing the unit with locking tape although
sometimes it is used.
Warning: The flashing LED in the Head Set can be
extremely bright, especially at night time. It can be
distracting and dangerous if you are not familiar with the
brightness level. Before riding with the Visual Alert,
especially at night, take the time to familiarize yourself
with the system in a safe, controlled setting.

WIRELESS HEAD SET
Before installing the Head Set make sure you leave enough space to be
able to position the LED in view.
Mount the Head Set on the helmet using the dual lock tape. Thoroughly
clean any surface before the tape is applied.
Position the LED display in such a way that it doesn’t interfere with your
view of the road, but is still visible.
Mount speaker inside of the helmet using provided dual lock tape.
Make sure to tuck in extra speaker wire so it will not interfere with
turning of the head.
Position the speaker and power connector face down to prevent them
from damage from the elements.
