*9850.MANUAL 8/9/00 12:23 PM Page 2 Installation Installation Location Location Selecting the proper location to mount the Cobra ESD-9850 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-9850 lenses must not be blocked.The Laser Eye should have a view of the rear window to take advantage of its 360˚ detection capability.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.
