INSTALLATION

Windshield Mounting

• 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.

Windshield Mounting

IMPORTANT: Make sure the unit is level.

INSTALLATION

Windshield Mounting

• Install the two suction cups and rubber bumper onto the

bracket by fitting them into their holes.

• Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the location you

have chosen.

IMPORTANT: Some newer cars have a plastic safety coating on

the inside of the windshield. The windshield bracket may leave

permanent marks on this type of surface. To find out if your

vehicle has this type of windshield, check the vehicle’s owner’s

manual or ask your dealer. We recommend that you do not leave

the suction cup bracket on the window in direct sunlight. If the

detector is removed, this may cause blistering of the dash in

some vehicles.

• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into place.

• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the

windshield bracket. Press the bracket release button and

remove the detector before bending.

Rubber Bumper

INSTALLATION

Power Connection

• Plug the small end of the power cord into the unit’s power

jack.

• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

NOTE: Cord fits tightly into detector. When installing the cord,

expect some resistance.

Fuse Replacement

The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable 2 amp,

3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To replace the fuse,

carefully unscrew the tip of the plug.

IMPORTANT: Unscrew slowly. The tip contains a spring which

may fly out when disassembling. Insert the new fuse with the

spring and screw on the tip. With use, screw cap on plug may

loosen. Retighten occasionally.

OPERATION

Power On and Self-Test

Each time your Whistler detector is turned on, an automatic

self-test sequence confirms that the speaker, visual displays

are functional along with many of the saved settings. To

increase the volume, continue turning the volume knob.

Memory/Beep Confirmation

All features selected (except Stay Alert and Quiet) are

retained in memory. Each time a button is pressed one beep

confirms feature “on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.

Audio Level Adjustment

To change the audio level:

• Move Power/Volume button back to increase audio level.

• Move Power/Volume button forward to decrease audio level.

Self-Test Quiet

Simply press the Quiet button during the self-test

sequence to cancel the self-test audio. This will not affect

radar/laser alerts. To restore the self-test audio, simply

press the Quiet button during the next self-test.
