General guidelines
Do not mount the detector directly behind the wind-
screen wipers or any reflective strips applied to the top
of the windscreen. These block radar and laser signals
and substantially reduce the sensitivity of the unit and
probability of detection. Normal tinted glass does not
affect the reception of radar or laser signals. This is in
contrast to the solar-reflecting windscreens used by some
car manufacturers. Radar signals are also reflected by
heated windscreens, available as an option on certain
vehicles. This type of windscreen will prevent a radar
detector from functioning correctly if mounted on the
dashboard or visor or behind the windscreen. In case of
doubt we advise you to contact your dealer. For optimum
performance, observe the following basic guidelines,
regardless of the chosen mounting point:
1. When selecting a mounting point, take account of
passenger safety. Choose a mounting point at which
the unit cannot present a danger to yourself or pas-
sengers.
2. For optimum detection install the detector in such a
way that it has unhindered reception from front and
rear and is not obstructed.
3. Ensure that the detector does not touch the wind-
screen. This will avoid unnecessary vibration.
4. Do not place the detector in direct sunlight. In the
summer the temperature in a closed car can get so
high that this will be detrimental to the life of the
detector.
5. The detector is not waterproof. If it comes into con-
tact with water, electronic circuits may be damaged.
Defects caused in this way are not covered by the
warranty.
The detector can be fitted in 3 different
ways:
• Fitting to the windscreen
• Fitting to the sun visor
• Mounting on the dashboard
