Mounting Guidelines
• Mount the unit as low as possible near the
c
enter of the windshield.
•
Do not mount the unit behind wipers,
ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These
o
bstructions have metal surfaces which can
a
ffect radar and laser signals and reduce
c
ritical warning time. (Regular tinted glass
d
oes not affect reception).
• Some windshields have an Instaclear
™
or
E
lectriclear
™
t
ype coating, which affect radar
s
ignals. Consult your dealer or the vehicle’s
owner’s manual 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.
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.
