FCC Information
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limit for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

Installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions. may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encourage to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

- Consult the dealer or an experience radio/TV technician for help

Change or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for Compliance could void the user’s authority to operate

the equipment

Ⅲ. M O U N T I N G INSTALLATION
Mount the unit as low as possible near the center of the windshield.
Do not mount your unit behind wipers, ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal surfaces which can
affect radar and laser signals and reduce critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass does not affect reception.)
Some newer windshields have an lnstaclear™ or Electriclear™ type coating, which affect radar signals.
Avoid placing unit in direct contact with windshield.
To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your unit when not in use.

Windshield Mounting
Install the mounting kit at the windshield as it follows.

IMPORTANT: Some newer cars have a plastic safety coating on


the inside of the windshield. The windshield bracket may leave
permanent marks on this type of surface. We recommend that
you do not leave the suction cup bracket on the window in
direct sunlight. If the detector is removed, this may cause blistering
of the dash in some vehicles.
Slide the detector onto the bracket and get it locked with switch.
If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the windshield bracket. Push the bracket release switch and remove the
detector before bending.

D a s h b o a r d M o u n t i n g
Make sure the mounting location you have chosen is relatively level and is clean and dry. Clean with isopropyl alcohol if
necessary to remove any waxes or polishes.
Separate the fastener strips. Peel the paper backing off each strip and adhere one piece to the dash and the other piece to the
bottom of the unit, taking care n o t t o c o v e r t h e s e r i a l n u m b e r .

Be careful not to place the fastener strip over the unit’s serial number.
If the fastener strip is removed, the serial number may be pulled off
the unit. Units without serial numbers are not covered under warranty.

Power Connection
Plug the small end of the power cord into the unit’s power jack.
Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.

Ⅴ. R A D A R / L A S E R / V G - 2 ALERTS

Speed Radar Visual /Audio Alerts


When X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and signal strength is displayed with an audible alert.
Example:

Laser Visual /Audio Alerts


When a laser signal is detected, LSR is displayed with signal strength. The audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.
Example:

V G -2 Visual /Audio Alerts


When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector “hides” its own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2.

Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal. If a VG-2 signal is still
present, the unit continues to hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is detected,
two beeps are provided, indicating an “all clear” condition. During VG-2 Alert, the X, K,
and Ka band signals cannot be received
Instant Visual/ Audio Alert
When an instant signal (strong signal) is detected, an urgent 3 second audio warning is sounded and the display shows:

After 3 seconds standard alert pattern continues.

Safety radar Visual/ Audio Alert


The WT -1020/1030 detects the new Safety Warning system. This provides advanced warning of various road hazards including
accident sites, highway construction, emergency vehicles and enables you to respond more appropriately to pot entially dangerous
conditions. It provides a distinct audio tone and illuminates the first strength bar and the last bar in the display.
