(factory default). sAlrtOFF (Speed Alert is off) In this setting, speed alert is off. 8 Signal Strength Meter Meter STD (Standard meter) Meter EXP (ExpertMeter) continued The Standard meter mode provides band information and signal strength information of a single alert. When radar is detected, the band (X, K or Ka) and a bar graph of the signals strength are displayed. When laser is detected, the display will simply read Laser. If there are multiple alerts present, only the highest priority threat is displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. (factory default) With the optional rear radar receiver connected, when a signal is detected a threat direction arrow will be displayed at the right of the display indicating the direction of the highest priority threat relative to you. In ExpertMeter mode, the highest priority threat is the leftmost signal displayed. An up arrow indicates the threat is ahead of you. A down arrow indicates the threat is behind you. In the image above, the Ka band threat is indicated as being behind you. Meter SPC (Spec Display meter) With the optional rear radar receiver connected, when a signal is detected a threat direction arrow will be displayed at the right of the display indicating the direction of the threat relative to you. An up arrow indicates the threat is ahead of you. A down arrow indicates the threat is behind you. The SpecDisplay option is an advanced display for experienced detector users. In this mode, it will display the actual numeric radar frequency being received. Even long-time detector users will require some time to get familiar with this new level of information about detected signals. Meter EXP (ExpertMeter) With the optional rear radar receiver connected, when a signal is detected a threat direction arrow will be displayed at the right of the display indicating the direction of the threat relative to you. An up arrow indicates the threat is ahead of you. A down arrow indicates the threat is behind you. ESCORTs exclusive ExpertMeter option is also designed for the advanced detector user. In this mode, ESCORT iX Ci simultaneously tracks up to three radar signals. It shows each band along with a vertical bar graph of its signal strength. In the image above, a Ka band, K band and a X band are being detected. ExpertMeter can help you spot a change in your normal driving environment (e.g., a traffic radar unit being operated in an area where there are normally other signals present). 9 Settings & Preferences Alert Tones TonesSTD (Alert Tones set to Standard) The factory default Standard alert tones uses a Geiger counter-type sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar signal being encountered. When you encounter radar, a distinct audible alert will sound and will increase as the signal gets stronger. This allows you to judge the distance from the signal source without taking your eyes off of the road. Each band has a distinct tone for easy identification:

X band = beep tone K band = brap tone Ka band = double-brap tone Laser = solid brap tone Pop = solid brap tone TonesSTD+ (Alert Tones set to Standard Plus) Features the Standard alert tones outlined above for the primary alert, plus double-beep tones for additional alerts. TonesMLD (Alert Tones set to Mild) X band, K band, Ka band and POP =

Doorbell chime Low signal strength = Double chime High signal strength = Triple chime If alert remains in area more than 15 seconds =

Single chime (as a reminder) Laser = Solid brap tone Since laser signals are a possible threat no matter how weak, laser alerts are always full strength. AutoMute aMute ON (AutoMute is on) Your ESCORT iX Ci also includes ESCORTs patented AutoMute feature. Once ESCORT iX Ci alerts you to a radar encounter at your selected volume level, it automatically reduces the volume. This keeps you informed without the annoyance of a continuous full-volume alert. If you prefer, you can turn the AutoMute feature off. aMute OFF (AutoMute is off) In this setting, AutoMute is off. 10 AutoLearn aLrn ON (AutoLearn is on) The AutoLearn feature analyzes radar signals by location and frequency over time. This allows ESCORT iX Ci to determine if a fixed location signal is a real threat or a false one. If it determines that the signal is an automatic door opener, motion sensor, etc., it automatically locks out this signal at this particular location. A Stored message will appear on the display when a signal has been automatically locked out. AutoLearn typically needs to encounter the exact frequency in the same location approximately three times to lock it out. Since some door openers are turned on and off routinely, some variations may occur. ESCORT iX Ci will also unlearn signals to protect you from locking out real threats. If a particular signal is no longer present at a location that was previously locked out, ESCORT iX Ci will unlock that signal. (factory default) aLrn OFF (AutoLearn is off) In this setting, any false alerts will need to be locked out manually using the MUTE button. Units UnitsENG (English units) In this setting, all speed and distance related functions are displayed in English units. (factory default) UnitsMET (Metric units) In this setting, all speed and distance related functions are displayed in metric units. Language LangENG (English language) In this setting, all voice and text are in English language.

(factory default) LangSPA (Spanish language) In this setting, all voice and text are in Spanish language. Voice Voice ON (Voice announcements are on) In this setting, all alerts and instructions are communicated using a voice announcement.

(factory default) VoiceOFF (Voice announcements are off) Only tones will be used for alerts. GPS Filter GPS ON (GPS Filter is on) In this setting, GPS-powered filtering is on. (factory default) GPS OFF (GPS Filter is off) In this setting, GPS-powered filtering is off. AutoPower aPwrOFF/1HR/2HR/4HR/8HR This feature automatically turns off ESCORT iX Ci after a set period of time to save unnecessary drain on your battery. This is especially useful if your vehicle has a constant-power ignition. To turn ESCORT iX Ci on again you must press the power button. (default setting is 4 hours) Band Enables In the factory default setting the suggested radar and laser bands for North America are monitored and sources of some common false alerts are rejected. It is highly recommended that you use your ESCORT iX Ci in this mode. If you modify Band Enables then this setting will show Modified. The ESCORT iX Ci will also notify you during the startup sequence with an audible alert, and associated text message stating that bands are modified from the factory default settings. WARNING: Do not turn off any bands unless you are absolutely certain there are no traffic radar guns using that specific band in your area. Shifters (optional, available separately) By adding ShifterMax Pack Plus, ESCORT iX Ci can be equipped with Laser ShifterMax sensors. Additional sensors can be added to ESCORT iX Ci separately. These highly sensitive laser transceivers will detect a laser signal and, when Shifting is enabled, will respond (or transmit) a pulsed signal back in order to Shift or confuse the targeting laser gun. The MUTE button can be used to manually shut off Laser Shifting once you have checked your speed. Since some laser guns provide jamming codes for the officer, this can be useful to avoid any undue attention. Simply press the MUTE button twice during a laser alert. All Shifters will cease to transmit and the display will change from Shifting to Laser. Laser indicates that you are receiving a laser alert in Receive Only mode. The Shifters will remain in the Receive Only mode for approximately thirty seconds, giving you time to pass the speed trap. Once this time has expired a double beep tone will be given, indicating that the Shifters are now back in Shifting mode. 11 Understanding Your Detector Marker Enables In the factory default setting, the suggested fixed location alerts are reported. It is highly recommended that you use your ESCORT iX Ci in this mode. If you modify Marker Enables then this setting will show Modified and only the Markers that you have selected are reported. Marking Locations The MRK button allows you to mark a specific location and label it for future reference. Once marked, ESCORT iX Ci will provide an alert with an arrow indicating the direction of the location and the distance to this location when you reach this area again. This can be extremely useful when there are known speed traps or camera locations that you would like to remember. ESCORT iX Ci gives an advanced warning of upcoming markers at the following distances:

Red light cameras: 250 ft or 10 seconds Red light & speed cameras: 250 ft or 10 seconds Speed cameras: 500 ft when traveling below 55 mph; 1,000 ft when traveling above 55 mph Speed traps: 0.3 mi or approximately 1,584 ft Other: 500 ft when traveling below 55 mph; 1,000 ft when traveling above 55 mph To mark a location, press the MRK button. The display will read Mark? Press MRK again to bring up a menu of markers to choose from. Repeatedly press MUTE to scroll through the markers then press MRK to select the marker that you wish to use at this location. The display will read Marked Air Patrol locations cannot be marked by the user. To unmark a location, touch the MRK button when you are receiving a marked-location alert. The display will read Unmark? Touch the MRK button again to confirm. The display will read Unmarked Clearing Locations At some point, you may wish to clear some of the data in ESCORT iX Cis database. This may include any of the following: Defender Database data, Marked locations or false alert Lockouts. To clear all data in ESCORT iX Cis database select Format then press MUTE to confirm. Note: After clearing the database, be sure to use Detector Tools Pro to merge Defender database locations onto your detector.

The specific type of radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on) and the location of the radar source affects the radar alerts you receive. The following examples will give you an introduction to understanding the detector warning system for radar, laser and safety alerts. CAUTION: Overconfidence in an unfamiliar area can be dangerous. Likewise, if an alert in a commonly traveled area is suddenly stronger or on a different band than usual, speed radar may be set up nearby. Alert Detector begins to sound slowly; rate of alert increases until it becomes a solid tone. The signal meter ramps accordingly. Detector emits short alerts for a few seconds then falls silent, only to briefly alert and fall silent again. Detector suddenly sounds a continuous tone for the appropriate band received. Detector sends a brief laser alert. Detector receives weak signals. Signals may be a little stronger as you pass large, roadside objects. Signals increase in frequency. Detector alerts slowly for a while then abruptly jumps to a strong alert. Detector alerts intermittently. Rate and strength of alerts may be consistent or vary wildly. Detector alerts intermittently; rate and strength of signal increases with each alert. Detector gives an X band alert intermittently. Explanation You are approaching a continuous radar source aimed in your direction. An instant-on radar source is being used ahead of you and out of your view. An instant-on radar or laser source is being used nearby. This kind of alert requires immediate attention. Laser is being used in the area. Because laser is inherently difficult to detect, any laser alert may indicate a source very close by. A moving patrol car with continuous radar is overtaking you from behind. Because these signals are reflected (reflections are increased by large objects), they may or may not eventually melt into a solid point, even when the patrol car is directly behind you. You are approaching a radar unit concealed by a hill or an obstructed curve. A patrol car is traveling in front of you with a radar source aimed forward. Because signals are sometimes reflected off of large objects and sometimes not, the alerts may seem inconsistent. A patrol car is approaching from the other direction, sampling traffic with instant-on radar. Such alerts should be taken seriously. You are driving through an area populated with radar motion sensors (e.g., door openers or burglar alarms). Since these transmitters are usually contained inside buildings or aimed toward or away from you, they are typically not as strong or lasting as a real radar encounter. 13 Understanding Your Detector How Radar Works Traffic radar, which consists of microwaves, travels in straight lines and is easily reflected by objects such as cars, trucks, even guardrails and overpasses. Radar works by directing its microwave beam down the road. As your vehicle travels into range, the microwave beam bounces off your car, and the radar antenna looks for the reflections. Using the Doppler Principle, the radar equipment then calculates your speed by comparing the frequency of the reflection of your car to the original frequency of the beam sent out. significant of these being that it typically can monitor only one target at a time. If there is more than one vehicle within range, it is up to the radar operator to decide which target is producing the strongest reflection. Since the strength of the reflection is affected by both the size of the vehicle and its proximity to the antenna, it is difficult for the radar operator to determine if the signal is from a sports car nearby or a semi-truck several hundred feet away. Traffic radar has limitations, the most Radar range also depends on the power of the radar equipment itself. The strength of the radar units beam diminishes with distance. The farther the radar has to travel, the less energy it has for speed detection. Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as X, and K-band radar, your detector will occasionally receive non-police radar signals. Since these transmitters are usually contained inside of a building, or aimed toward the ground, they will generally produce much weaker readings than will a true radar encounter. As you become familiar with the sources of these pseudo alarms in your daily driving, they will serve as confirmation that your devices radar detection abilities are fully operational. In-Vehicle Technology (IVT Filter) Some modern vehicles are now equipped with radar based in-vehicle technology (IVT) systems for adaptive cruise control, predictive braking, and blind spot monitoring. Because some of these systems operate on the same frequency as police K-band radar, many radar detectors will alert to these signals as police radar. This radar detector is equipped with our updatable IVT Filter which rejects these signals. Because these safety systems are continually changing, the IVT Filter is updatable. Updates to the IVT Filter are released as firmware updates for your detector that are installed using our exclusive Detector Tools Pro software. 14 How POP Works POP works by transmitting an extremely short burst, within the allocated band, to identify speeding vehicles in traffic. Once the target is identified, or popped, the gun is then turned to its normal operating mode to provide a vehicle tracking history (required by law). Note: According to radar gun manufacturers, tickets should not be issued in pop mode. How Laser (Lidar) Works Laser speed detection is actually light detection and ranging (LIDAR). Laser guns project a beam of invisible infrared light. The signal is a series of very short infrared light energy pulses that move in a straight line, reflecting off your car and returning to the gun. Laser uses these light pulses to measure the distance to a vehicle. Speed is then calculated by measuring how quickly these pulses are reflected, given the known speed of light. Laser is a newer technology whose use is not as widespread as conventional radar; therefore, you may not encounter it on a daily basis. And unlike radar detection, laser is not prone to false alarms. Because laser transmits a much narrower beam than does radar, it is much more accurate in its ability to distinguish between targets and is also more difficult to detect. As a result, even the briefest laser alert should be taken seriously. There are limitations to laser, however. Laser is much more sensitive to weather conditions than radar, and a laser guns range will be decreased by anything affecting visibility, such as rain, fog or smoke. A laser gun cannot operate through glass, and it must be stationary to get an accurate reading. Because laser must have a clear line of sight and is subject to cosine error (an inaccuracy that increases as the angle between the gun and the vehicle increases), police typically use laser equipment parallel to the road or from an overpass. Laser can be used day or night. 15 How GPS Works The Global Positioning System (GPS) is made up of twenty four orbiting satellites and was developed by the U.S. military. There are at least four satellites visible at any given time every day. A GPS receiver is designed to locate and receive data from four of these satellites. This data includes the distance to your location from each of the satellites. Once the distance from each satellite is known, the receiver can calculate and pinpoint your exact location. TSR Signal Ranking Software Your radar detector includes a new optional boost in anti-falsing software to eliminate excessive alerts from erroneous X and K-band sources. One example of this is traffic flow monitoring systems. These systems, which are becoming more widely used in several countries, generate K-band signals to measure the flow of traffic on a given road. Unfortunately most detectors see this as a real threat and will alert you to it unnecessarily. Our new proprietary software (TSR), intelligently sorts, ranks and rejects this type of false alarm automatically. The result is ultimate protection without excessive false alarms. The TSR software is set up as an option and can be activated through the Programming section. We suggest you turn TSR on if you are experiencing extreme false alerts in your area. If not, your detector is ready to start protecting you right out of the box. If you have any questions about this new feature, please give us a call or visit our website for more details. Troubleshooting Problem Solution Detector beeps briefly at the same location every day, but no radar source is in sight. Detector did not alert when a police car was in view.

For the easiest, trouble-free installation, install the interface first and wire it to a 12-volt switched circuit. Then, before installing components, connect them to the interface and power up the system to confirm proper operation and perform software updates, if needed. Installation Warnings 1 It is recommended that you have a professional install your new ESCORT iX Ci . Installation of this system requires experience and expertise in automotive electronics. If you are unfamiliar with automotive electronics, car audio specialists and many car dealers can install your ESCORT iX Ci for you. 2 Attempting to install this product without expertise in automotive electronics installation can cause personal injury or damage to your vehicle. 3 If your vehicle is damaged during installation its safety systems may be compromised, which could cause personal injury or property damage. 4 Improper installation may void warranty. Performance Warnings To get the best performance possible, the mounting location of the radar receiver is critical. Although radar signals will pass through some types of plastic, mounting the radar receiver so that it has a clear view of the road will ensure maximum warning. Since Laser signals will not pass through objects, including most plastics, it is critical that the Laser Shifters are mounted perfectly level and have an unobstructed view of the road. A critical issue has been reported requiring component to be replaced or repaired. Connections and wiring of component should be checked. If problem persists there may be an issue with component. Component is too hot. Mounting it in a cooler location may be necessary. Power supply voltage is too high. Voltage must be between 10.5 16 V DC. Power supply voltage is too low. Voltage must be between 10.5 16 V DC. Error Codes Below is a list of error codes which are shown in error messages. The codes help diagnose the cause of the error.

free installation:

1 Determine the best location for the radar receiver. The best location is typically under the bumper, or inside the front grill of the vehicle. For the best radar performance, install the radar receiver horizontally, with a clear view of the road. 2 Entry points into the interior may be located behind the plastic liner in the wheel well, fuse box, or unused grommets. 3 There are often many existing entry points at the rear of the vehicle as well:

Gaskets behind license plates, around illumination lamps, and near trunk lid hinges. Tail light wiring gaskets are often easily accessible and large enough to add cables. 4 If there are no suitable openings, it will be necessary to drill a hole through the firewall:

a. Thoroughly investigate all locations before drilling any holes! Ensure no wires, hoses, or other vehicle components will be damaged. b. On vehicles with automatic transmissions, there is often a location for mounting a clutch pedal. This location is typically an ideal location to drill. c. Before drilling, cover the surface being drilled with masking tape to prevent damage to the anti-corrosion coating in the event the drill bit slips. d. Drill a 13/32" or 7/16" hole. 5 When pulling the inline grommet to the entry point, apply rubbing alcohol to a section of the cable to reduce friction and quickly pull the grommet along the length. 6 The cables of units mounted at the rear of the vehicle can generally be routed through the trunk compartment and concealed under trim panels quite easily. If necessary, the cables can also be routed under the vehicle and through an opening in the firewall. Be sure to secure cables away from moving parts and hot surfaces. 7 A quality crimper for modular connectors can be used to cut cables to length and replace the connector. Removing the connectors may also make it easier to enter the vehicles interior through existing openings. Note:

Only an exact replacement for the standard connector can be used. Do not attempt to cut the wires unless the proper connector and crimping tools are available. Connectors cannot be reused. Do not cut the cable too short! Provide enough cable to route to the Interface and add a couple extra feet to ease installation Install the new connector such that its locking tab is on the same side as the color coded stripe on the cable. Do not attempt to cut the cable and splice the wires together. 8 When drilling or cutting interior trim panels

(for instance, when installing the Concealed Installation Alert Indicator or the optional Display Bezel), first cover the surface of the panel with masking tape to prevent accidental scratches. 5 A Interface B Front Radar Receiver White Stripe 1 Install the Interface under the dash using supplied zip-ties. Note:

Do not mount Interface inside vehicles engine compartment!

It is not weatherproof!

2 Connect black wire (-) to ground, and red-striped wire (+) to a switched 12-volt supply. (If ESCORT iX Ci is left in the on position, it will automatically power on and off with the ignition). 3 Front Radar Receiver, ShifterMax Bridge Box, Display and Control Modules, GPS Antenna, Concealed Alert LED, Radio Mute Cable, and optional Rear Radar Receiver all plug into the Interface. 4 It is recommended that after the Interface is installed and connected to power, all other components are plugged in and tested for proper operation before completing the installation. IMPORTANT! When using optional Rear ShifterMax sensors ensure DIP switches 3 and 4 are moved down to the REAR SHIFTER position. See the Interface illustration on pg 9. 1 Determine the best location for the Radar Receiver. The best location is typically under the bumper or inside the front grille of the vehicle. For the best radar performance install the Radar Receiver flat, horizontally, not on its side. 2 Using the built-in mounting holes on the Receiver, or the supplied right-angle mounting bracket, mark the hole locations. Drill pilot holes in the vehicle if necessary. 3 Mount the Receiver using the supplied hardware. If right-angle mounting bracket is used, secure the Receiver to the right-angle bracket first, then install bracket with Receiver to the vehicle. 4 Slide the heatshrink onto the Radar Receiver cable then plug into the harness and route the cable toward the interior of the vehicle. Shrink the heatshrink onto the inline connector and secure the cable with zip-ties. Although waterproof, it is best to locate the inline connector in a dry area protected from moving parts, road debris, and hot surfaces such as the radiator and radiator hoses. 6 D Front Laser ShifterMax Sensors (optional) Positioning Sensors Install each sensor halfway between the side and the center of the vehicle. For optimal performance sensors need to be completely unobstructed, not behind a grille, level and facing straight forward (rearward if installing optional rear sensors). Make sure that each sensor is parallel with the road

(using supplied bubble level). Note:

Vehicle must be positioned on a flat surface in order to position sensors parallel with the road. Make sure that sensors have an unobstructed view of the road so the unit can function properly. Do not install sensors behind a solid surface, which would block laser transmission/reception. Front Radar Receiver (Continued) 5 Find a suitable entry point into the vehicles interior. Refer to the Installation Tips section. 6 Feed the harness into the vehicles interior and to the Interface. Plug into the connector labeled Front Receiver. 7 If entering through a drilled hole, pull the grommet on the harness until the end sticks through the hole. From inside the vehicle, pull grommet through until it seals against the outer surface. C ShifterMax Bridge Box

(optional) 1 The Bridge Box is weatherproof. To limit the number of cables routed through the firewall, we recommend installing the Bridge Box inside of the engine compartment. 2 Slide the included heatshrink onto the Bridge Box Interface cable then plug into the cable extending from the Bridge Box labeled Interface and route the cable toward the interior of the vehicle. Shrink the heatshrink onto the inline connector and secure the cable with zip-ties. Although weatherproof, it is best to locate the inline connector in a dry area protected from moving parts, road debris, and hot surfaces such as the radiator and radiator hoses. 7 Installation Schematic Overview Interface Bridge Box) with no stripe or shrink) Letter References For Components (Color Coded Connections To Interface) A B Front Radar Receiver (White Stripe) C Front ShifterMax Sensors (optional, plug into ports 1 & 2 on ShifterMax D ShifterMax Bridge Box (optional, plugs into Interface using supplied cable E GPS Antenna (Yellow Shrink) F Display Module (Orange Shrink) G Control Module (Blue Shrink) H Concealed Alert Indicator (Gray Shrink) I Rear Radar Receiver (optional) J Rear ShifterMax Sensors (optional) Optional B Optional C C A D D ShifterMax Bridge Box 1 The Bridge Box is weatherproof so it can be installed in the engine compartment or under the dash. 2 Connect Front ShifterMax Sensors to ports 1 and 2 of the Bridge Box. 3 Connect Rear ShifterMax Sensors to ports 3 and 4 of the Bridge Box. 4 The Bridge Box connects to the Interface using the supplied cable with a 6 pin modular plug on one end and a round shifter plug on the other end. H F G 88 D B I F G E H Optional Components J I J E 99 Front Laser ShifterMax Sensors (Continued) 1 Snap mounting bracket onto sensor and install the included bolts but do not tighten them. If the bolts do not thread into the sensor then you have the bracket on backwards. 2 Apply the double sided tape to the underside of the sensors mounting bracket. Check front alignment and mount the sensor to a solid surface of the vehicle. 3 Use the supplied bubble level to ensure the sensor is parallel to the road and tighten the sensors mounting bracket bolts. 4 Repeat for additional sensor(s). Securing Connectors with Shrink Tube Once youve installed all components properly and tested to ensure all parts are working properly, use cable ties to fasten sensor cables to a solid surface, keeping them away from heat and any moving parts. It is advisable to use the supplied heatshrink tubes to protect connectors against water, moisture, dust, etc. IMPORTANTLY the ShifterMax sensors are shipped in receive only mode. Shifting must be enabled in the bands settings. See the Preferences section of the Owners Manual. Additional ShifterMax Sensors Additional ShifterMax Sensors with included hardware are sold separately. E GPS Antenna Yellow Shrink 1 Determine the best location for the GPS antenna. The GPS Antenna requires a clear view of the sky. The magnetic base can be used on most vehicles to mount to the roof of the car or the trunk lid. It can also be mounted to the dashboard or rear deck using double-sided tape. 2 Mount the GPS Antenna, being sure that roof racks or other obstructions do not block its view of the GPS satellites. 3 Locate a suitable entry point into the vehicle. Refer to the Installation Tips section for locating a suitable entry point. 4 Route the cable through the entry point and secure along its path. If mounting near the front or rear window, it is usually possible to tuck the cable under the gasket surrounding the glass. 5 Once inside the vehicles interior, route the cable to the Interface and plug into the connector labeled GPS. 6 Secure and conceal the cable under interior trim panels. 10 4 Replace the front lens with the display bezel by snapping it in place. Ensure that the cable protrudes from the left end when looking at the display bezel with the text oriented properly. A small key in the plastic helps proper assembly. 5 Cover the mounting surface with masking tape to prevent accidental scratches. 6 Using the supplied hole template, mark the location. 7 Ensure there are no hidden cables, brackets, or other components behind the location, and that there is adequate clearance behind the panel. The Display will protrude into the dash or console by 1/2" - 3/4. 8 Very carefully cut the hole in the mounting surface. 9 Feed the display module cable through the bezel and the opening in the dash then route it to the interface. 10 Remove the masking tape protecting the trim panel. 11 Clean the mounting surface thoroughly. 12 Apply the double-sided adhesive tape to the display bezel. 13 Mount the Display Module using the bezel adhesive. 14 Plug the connector into the Interface connector labeled Display Module. 15 Secure and conceal the cable under trim panels. F Display Module Orange Shrink 1 Determine the best location for the Display Module. If installed by a professional, the customer should be consulted. An optimal location is clearly visible from the drivers position and does not take a drivers eyes off the road for more than a moment. 2 Clean the mounting surface thoroughly. 3 Mount the Display using the pre-applied adhesive. 4 Route the cable to the Interface and plug into the connector labeled Display Module. 5 Secure and conceal the cable under trim panels. Display Bezel Mounting 1 The supplied display bezel can be used to mount the Display permanently in the dash or console. 2 Determine the best location for the Display Module. If installed by a professional, the customer should be consulted. A flat, plastic surface with no obstructions behind it is best for this type of mounting. 3 Remove the Display Modules lens by inserting a fingernail at one end to unsnap the lens. 11 G Control Module Blue Shrink H Concealed Alert Indicator Gray Shrink 1 Determine the best location for the Control Module. If installed by a professional, the customer should be consulted. An optimal location is easily visible and accessible from the drivers position, and does not interfere with normal driving. Avoid locations that require reaching through or around the steering wheel. 2 Clean the mounting surface thoroughly. 3 Mount the Control using the pre-applied adhesive. 4 Route the cable to the Interface and plug into the connector labeled Control Module. 5 Secure and conceal the cable under trim panels. 1 Determine the best location for the Alert Indicator.
