INSTALLATION OF RADAR ANTENNA

INSTALLATION OF RADAR ANTENNA

General Information
The radar antenna is waterproof and designed to be mounted
at the front of your vehicle. In most vehicles the best mounting
location is directly below or behind the bumper. Radar signals
will pass through non-metallic materials such as fiberglass and
plastic, however, be sure to mount the receiver away from any
metal, as it will block the receiver’s antenna. Because the optimal
location for mounting the antenna varies by vehicle type, the
hardware supplied is designed to offer a wide variety of mounting
options. We suggest choosing the option that enables the
antenna to be securely fastened and provides the antenna window
adequate forward visibility.
NOTE: The “antenna” is the bubble area on the case. All
references to antenna in this manual will be the bubble area.
NOTE: Use of hardware that is not supplied or DRILLING
into the case will cause damage to the receiver and void the warranty.
Antenna Mounting Brackets
There are two types of mounting brackets for the antenna:
Large (L) and Small L (2). The Large L bracket fastens to the
antenna using two or more screws (#6 x 3/4”). Slide the screw
through the hole on the flange of the antenna and then
tighten into the metal bracket (do not overtighten). The large
L Bracket may be fastened to the antenna in a variety of
positions as shown on page 8.
Do not drill into the receiver housing!
This arrangement provides flexibility for fastening the antenna/
bracket assembly to your vehicle in a manner that allows the
antenna window (ANTENNA) to have a forward looking view of
the road ahead.
The Small L Brackets (2) may also be fastened to the antenna in
different positions as shown below:
Use one #6 x 3/4" screw to fasten each Small L Bracket to the
antenna. Again, do not over tighten the screws.
In some situations it may be advantageous to use both the
Large Land Small L Brackets to install the antenna in a vehicle.

The Small L Brackets are fastened to the Large L Bracket using
the #10-32 x 1/2" bolts, #10-32 nuts and lock washers.
To fasten the Large L or Small L Brackets to your vehicle, mark
the supporting structure through the appropriate holes in the
brackets, then drill the holes in the supporting structure with a
13/64" drill bit. Attach the bracket(s) to the supporting structure
using two bolts (#10-32 x 1-1/4") and corresponding nuts,
flat washers, and lock washers. You may also use 2 #6 sheet
metal screws. Because rough road surfaces can cause excessive
vibration or bouncing, be certain to fasten the bracket(s)
securely to your vehicle.
Horizontal Or Vertical Mounting Of Antenna
The antenna can be attached to the vehicle in a horizontal or
vertical position, or at any angle between these two points.
Select the position that allows you to fasten the antenna to
your vehicle in the most secure manner
Horizontal Mounting
When mounting the antenna in a horizontal position (or on an
angle between), remember to keep the ANTENNA window as
close to perpendicular as possible to the road surface (ANTENNA
window should not be angled up toward the sky or down
toward the road surface).
Mounting Vertical (with 45º Reflector)
For vehicles that do not have sufficient clearance behind the
bumper (about 5") to mount the antenna in a horizontal position,
the 45º. Reflector should be used.
The 45º Reflector is attached to the antenna with two screws (#6
x 3/4") on the side of the antenna housing marked ANTENNA.
Slide the screws through the corner holes on the flange of the
antenna housing and then tighten into the metal reflector (do
not over tighten).
INSTALLATION OF RADAR ANTENNA
Mounting the Laser Antenna
The laser antenna can be mounted to the front windshield
using the windshield bracket supplied.
Installing the Laser Antenna
Before using, attach the suction cup and rubber bumpers (2)
to the metal bracket. If necessary, you may bend the metal
bracket in order to position the laser antenna correctly (3-lens
array facing forward, single lens facing behind.)

Using Hook & Loop Fasteners, the laser antenna may also be
mounted to the back side of your rearview mirror. Be careful not
to block the rear facing lens when mounted in this manner.
Also, clean the appropriate surfaces with isopropyl alcohol before
adhering the adhesive side of the fastener to those surfaces.

INSTALLATION OF LASERANTENNA INSTALLATION OF CONTROL PANEL
14
General Information
The control panel may be mounted using the Under Dash
Bracket or Hook & Loop fastener supplied. As an alternative,
you may also use the Through Dash Bracket. When choosing a
mounting location, consider your needs for ease of viewing the
display, accessibility of controls (remember Mute Mode may be
used frequently), and concealment.
The control panel can also be mounted on its side and even
upside down! Installation just got a lot more flexible.
Control Panel Mounted With Under Dash Bracket
Fasten the Under Dash Bracket to your vehicle’s dash with the
two #4 x 5/8" sheet metal screws provided. A 5/64” drill bit
should be used to drill pilot holes for the screws. Use the holes in
the bracket to mark the location for pilot holes.
Once the bracket is fastened to your vehicle, the control panel
can be attached to it. However, we suggest connecting all cables
to the back of the control panel before snapping it into the bracket.
See page 15 for proper placement of cables.
Control panel snaps into rather than slides onto the Under Dash Bracket.
INSTALLATION OF CONTROL PANEL
Control Panel Mounted With Hook & Loop Fasteners
Fasteners can be used to mount the top or bottom of the control
panel to your vehicle. Before adhering the adhesive side of the
fastener to a surface, clean that surface with isopropyl alcohol.
Use of Hook & Loop simplifies control panel installation.
Control Panel Mounted With Through Dash Bracket
Installation instructions are provided with the bracket. We
recommend using a professional installer if you are not familiar
with customized dashboard installations.

2. Voice Port
3. Laser Port
Laser Antenna Cable Connection
After mounting the laser antenna, conceal the cable and plug
the stereo jack connector into the port on the back of the control
panel labeled LASER port (3).
Power Cable Connection
The power cable has a plug on one end which connects to the
back of the control panel at the port labeled PWR port (1). At
the other end of the power cable, the power and ground wires
are separated. The ground wire has a “U” type connector which
should be fastened to a metal surface. Look for an existing
screw or bolt under the dash to use as a grounding point. The
power wire has a spade type connector which should be connected
to a switched +12 volt DC circuit in your vehicle’s fuse box. A
switched circuit is one that has power when your vehicle is on,
but has no power when your vehicle is off. Connect the “U”
type connector to the ground point selected, attach the power
cord plug to the control panel area marked “PWR” then touch
the power wire to the +12 volt DC switched power source
selected; if the control panel sounds the self test sequence,
then all connections are correct.
