FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS

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.
