Where to Mount Your Unit

You will get optimum performance from your detector if you mount it at a

point approximately in the center of the vehicle, as low as possible on the

front windshield without obstructing the unit’s view of the road either to

the front or rear. You can also mount it directly on the dashboard.

The unit’s lens must not be blocked and the LaserEye should have a clear view

out the back window to allow 360° detection.

Radar and laser signals pass through glass but not through other materials

and objects. Objects that can block or weaken incoming signals include:

■

Windshield wiper blades

■

Mirrored sun screens

■

Dark tinting at the top of the windshield

■

Heated windshields currently available on some vehicles

(Instaclear for Ford, Electriclear for GM). Consult your dealer

to see if you have this option.

The LaserEye Should Have a Clear View

Windshield Mounting Dashboard Mounting

This manual describes the simple steps for mounting, setting up and using your

detector. It also provides helpful information about how radar and laser guns are

used and how you can interpret the alerts you receive.

Before you begin your installation, please read the Important Information section

on page A1 and use the descriptions and feature lists on pages A2 and A3 to

become familiar with your new detector.

About Your Detector

•

Display

This detector’s innovative new display provides more, easier-to-use information

than any technology to date. Using an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode)

screen, the display offers large graphical alerts to signals as they are detected.

Do not be alarmed by the nearly blank display you see when you first turn the

unit on. The detector will function and alerts will appear as signals are detected.

You can also elect to turn on the built-in Compass, IntelliMute and Car Voltage,

so that they appear during normal operation. The initial and startup screens are

shown on page 6.

Programming

EasySet Programming lets you conveniently customize the operation of your

detector by changing the settings. You may want to start using the detector

with the factory settings and then make changes after you are more familiar

with the unit.
