Location

Selecting the proper location to mount the

Cobra® ESD-9220 WX is very important for

optimum performance. Both radar and laser

transmissions pass through glass but not through

other objects. For this reason the Cobra®

ESD-9220 WX lenses must not be blocked. It

should have a view of the rear window to take

advantage of LaserEye® 360˚ detection. It is best

to locate your detector as low on the front

windshield as possible.

Examples of metal in the windshield area that can

block or weaken incoming radar/laser signals:

1. Windshield wiper blades.

2. Mirrored sun screens.

3. Regular tinted glass does not affect radar

reception, although the darker tint at the

top of the tinted windshield prevents laser

light from penetrating.

4. Heated windshields, currently available as

an option for some Ford® (Instaclear) and

GM® (Electriclear vehicles act as an

impenetrable barrier to radar signals). If in

doubt, check with your dealer to see if this

applies to your vehicle.
