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. General Laser Information The laser antenna provides both front and rear laser reception. Mount the laser antenna with the 3-lens array facing forward (down the road) and the single lens facing behind. This approach offers the greatest protection, since you will most often be traveling into a laser signal, rather that away from it when laser speed enforcement is encountered. For effective protection, make sure the laser antenna has an unobstructed view forw a rd and behind, and that it is not placed behind metallic sun screens. Mounting the Laser Antenna The laser antenna can be mounted to the front windshield using the windshield bracket supplied. Mounted in this position, radar signals are reflected into the ANTENNA window. Mounting the Temperature Probe Find a location that is far enough away from the engine and radiator heat but still in the airflow for the vehicle. Mounting the Probe too close to these heat areas will give a false high temperature. · Attach the mountable tie wrap (supplied) to the Temperature Probe as shown. · Mark location for Probe, then drill a hole using a 7/64" drill bit. [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
