INSTALLATION
A. Mounting Guidelines
For the best performance, select the proper location for the detector where it
has a direct view of the road.
Remember, the radar antenna and laser sensor are located behind the rear
panel of the unit.
The antenna and sensors should not be obstructed by metal or metallic
surfaces and should be pointed at the horizon for accurate long-range detection.
Choose a location that does not block the driver's vision.
Mount the detector in a level position.
Do not mount the detector behind the metal surfaces, windshield antenna,
wiper blades, and ornaments mirrored sunscreen.
Window tinting reduces the received strength of laser signals; do not mount
the detector behind tinted glass.
Do not mount the detector where the driver or passenger might hit in a sudden
stop or accident.
B. Mounting Type
There are two ways of installation of Star laser/radar – detector
1. Hook-and Loop Mounting
The hook-and-loop tape included with your detector might be the best
mounting method for some dashboards.
Follow these instructions to use the hook-and-loop tape.
• Use a damp cloth to thoroughly clean both the bottom of the detector and
the dashboard.
• Peel off the tape's paper backing and apply the tape to the bottom of the
detector.
• Remove the paper backing from the other side of the tape and press the
detector onto the dashboard.
2. Windshield Mounting
The supplied windshield bracket and suction cups let you quickly mount the
detector to your vehicle's windshield.
Follow these steps to use mounting bracket kit.
1. Install the suction cups onto the bracket by fitting them into their holes.
2. Attach the bracket to windshield
3. Attach Detector to bracket.
4. Bend bracket for correct detection angle (if
necessary), do not use the STAR to bend
bracket.
5. Plug power cord DC12V into detector.
6. Plug power cord into cigarette lighter.
