[. . . ] 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 rearward visibility. NOTE: The "antenna" is the bubble area on the case. [. . . ] 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. 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). 9 10 Pro3450INSTALLmanual. pdf 3/15/04 3:18 PM Page 13 INSTALLATION OF RADAR ANTENNA Mount the antenna to the vehicle such that the ANTENNA window is facing the road surface, sky, right or left of the vehicle, and the reflector has an unobstructed view of the road ahead. INST LLA A TION of LASER ANTENNA Antenna Cable to the Control Panel Once the antenna is installed connect the cable from the radar antenna to quick disconnect interface cable. Tie this cable in knot similar to using an electrical extension cord. Run the cable along the edge of the engine compartment to the firewall. Find a location in the firewall where other wires (or the speedometer cable) enter the passenger compartment and feed the stereo jack connection through. Be careful not to interfere with or disconnect other wires, cables, or mechanical systems of your vehicle while routing the antenna cable. Also, keep the antenna cable away from any areas in the engine compartment that may become hot. Cable ties are provided to secure the antenna and Temperature Probe cables at various points in the engine compartment. 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. Control panel snaps into rather than slides onto the Under Dash Bracket.

Before adhering the adhesive side of the fastener to a surface, clean that surface with isopropyl alcohol. INST LLA A TION OF CONTROL PANEL Antenna Cable Connection The stereo connector on the end of the antenna cable plugs into Radar port (2) on the back of the control panel. 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 w h i c h 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. [. . . ] Any other device may damage the unit and void the warranty.
