SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION FROM A PARALLEL ORIENTATION CAN
AFFECT THE RADAR’S READING DUE TO THE COSINE EFFECT.

Figure 2.3f
Incorrect Orientation
The antenna and target vehicle's
direction are not parallel.
Point the antenna so it is parallel with the patrol motor vehicle, (the
direction the patrol motor vehicle is facing) and parallel with the
ground. Avoid setting the antenna at an angle since the reading
displayed can be aected due to the angle.
Rear Antenna Mounting
Mount the rear-facing antenna so it has a clear view of trac and so it
is not obstructing the driver's view. The bracket is easily axed to the
rear deck using the Velcro™ strips supplied with the bracket. Follow
the same orientation instructions as for the front antenna.
