INSTALLATION
Mounting Guidelines
• Do not mount unit behind wipers, ornaments, mirrored
sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal surfaces
which can a󰀨ect radar and laser signals and reduce critical
warning time.
• Some windshields have an Instaclear™ or Electriclear™
type coating which may a󰀨ect radar. Consult your
dealer or the vehicles owner’s guide to determine if your
windshield has this coating.
• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your unit when
not in use.
Notice to Drivers in California and Minnesota:
State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from
using suction mounts on their windshields while operating
motor vehicles. Dashboard mounting options should be used.
(See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota
Statutes 2005, Section 169.71).
Check local laws for compliance.
Important: Some vehicles may have a plastic safety coating
on the inside of the windshield. The windshield bracket may
leave permanent marks. Check the vehicles owner's guide or
ask your dealer before applying suction cup mount.

Windshield Mounting
• Clean the selected area of the windshield for mounting
using a quality glass cleaner.
• Install the 2 suction cups and rubber bumper onto the
bracket by tting them into their holes.
• Press the suction cup rmly onto the windshield.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the
windshield bracket.
Important: Remove the detector before bending.
• Slide detector onto bracket until it locks in place.
• Press release button on left side to remove.
NOTE:
• Remove detector from bracket when not in use.
• To allow air to pass below the unit, do not place directly on
dashboard.

accessory socket.
NOTE: Cord ts tightly into detector. When installing the cord,
expect some resistance.
The power plug USB port can be used to power or charge a
mobile device. The output for the USB port is 2A.
Fuse Replacement
The lighter/12V accessory socket plug is equipped with a
replaceable 4-amp 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 y out when disassembling. Insert the new fuse with the spring
and screw on the tip. With use, screw cap on plug may loosen.

Understanding the Display
When not alerting, the units display can be used to
indicate Heading, Mode of Operation (Highway and
City modes), Clock/Volt status.
Clock / Voltage
Signal Strength Display
When a radar signal is detected, the audio alerts have a
Geiger counter-like pattern; the faster the beeping the stronger
the radar signal. At the same time the audio is reporting, the
display illuminates the band identication and relative signal
strength from 1 to 9.
