INSTALLATION
MOUNTING GUIDELINES
Follow these guidelines when selecting a location.
• Choose a location that does not block the driver’s
view of the road.
• Mount the detector in a level position with a clear
view to both the front and rear.
• Since signals are blocked by metal surfaces, the
detector’s view of the road must not be blocked.
• Some vehicles have InstaClear
‚
or ElectriClear
‚
defogging windshields, which have metal coatings
that block signals. General Motor’s APV vans have a
solar shield that keeps the vehicle cooler during the
summer. This shield also blocks signals. A detector
installed in a vehicle with any of these features will
probably not detect a signal.
• Since window tinting reduces the received strength
of laser signals, you should not mount the detector
behind any tinted glass.
• Do not mount the detector where the driver or a pas-
senger might hit it in a sudden stop or accident.
Caution:
Whichever mounting method you choose,
place the detector out of view when you leave the vehi-
cle. This keeps the detector out of sight of thieves and
prevents exposing it to extremely high temperatures,
which can damage the radar detector and its batteries.
