Safety Attention
•Useonlyoriginalincludedpartsforinstallation.Donotpluganythird-party
components into your unit and do not plug any supplied components into any third-
party products, as this may cause failure and will void warranty.
•Takespecialcarewhileinstallingthesensorunit.Damagingthecableorthefactory
installed connector on the cable may cause malfunction and will void warranty.
• TheXR-9500canNOTdetectglassorothertransparentobjects.
• Whiledriving,especiallyinwintermonths,dirtandfilthcanaccumulateonthe
outersensorlens,whichcanaffectthesensor’sperformance.Wipethelens
periodically with a dry or moist cloth. Do not use cleaning solvents other than
water.
•LasersignalsemittedfromXR-9500cancauseinterferencetootherlaser
equipment. If such case is detected by the system, it will reset within a few seconds.
•IfthevehiclewhereXR-9500isbeinginstalledtoisalreadyusinganotherlaser
system like laser cruiser control in some cases it is possible that those two system
could interfere with each other.

Install the Unit
TheXR-9500needsprofessionalinstallationrecommended.Newcardealersandthe
group of car audio specialists can install the XR-9500. Attempting to install the XR-
9500withoutexpertiseinautomotiveelectroniccancausepersonalinjuryduringthe
installation, or can damage the product or your vehicle.
Sensor Installation
• Itcanbemountedbetweenthefrontgrillpartitionsorabovetherearbumper.
• Usingthe3Mdoublesidedtapetomountthesensor.Otherwiseusingthebracket,
boltsandwrenchtomountthesensorandadjustthesensorpositionwhichis
levelled. It is very important to install with parallel to receive the signals.
• Usesuppliedbubbleleveltocheckalignmentofthesensorandensureitis
parallel to the road.
• Itiscriticalthattheyshouldbepositionedinsuchawaythatallthesensorshave
unobstructed “view” of the road.
☞In case of installation sensors behind the front grill of the vehicle, the parking
assistantmodemightnotworkingproperly.Becausethefrontgrillcanreectthe
signal,sensorsrecognizeitasobstacles.Whenyounishtheinstallation,checkif
it makes a constant alarm at parking sensor mode. It is recommended to install
the edge of the grill where it is unobstructed ‘view’.

Sensor Position
If you have two sensors, install each sensor halfway between the side and the center
of the vehicle. In case of three sensors, install one at the center of the vehicle and
each two sensors halfway between the side and center sensor.
☞ For optimal performance, sensors need to be facing straight forward, not at an
angle.Makesurethateachsensorisparalleltotheroad.Whenyouinstallthe
sensor, vehicle must be located on a flat surface in order to position sensors
parallel with the road. Make sure that sensors have an unobstructed “view” of
the road. Do not install sensors behind a solid surface, which would block laser
transmission and reception.

• ConnectthesensorstotheFR1,FR2,FR3socketsforthefrontside.Connectthe
sensors to the REAR1 and REAR2 sockets for the rear side. Additionally, one more
sensorcanconnectat‘OPTION’socketforfrontorrearsidetocoverlargevehicle.
• ConnecttheDC12Vpowercablesocketfromthehardwirekit.Therearetwo‘Y’
type terminals from the other side of hardwire kit for battery connection. Connect
the red line ‘Y’ terminal at the ‘+’ and connect the black line ‘Y’ terminal at the ‘-’
location.Whenthepoweriscorrectlyconnected,theredlightisonatthe‘PWR’of
the board.
• Thereisblackantennalineinsidethecontrolunit.Pullouttheantennalineoutside
through the housing hole. It is recommended to stretch an antenna not to hide for
better wireless connection.
☞There is cooling gray pad attached between the board and top housing. It cools
down the temperature inside the housing.
