POWER CONNECTION

To power V945, plug the elbow shaped

jack into the receptacle on the side of the

detector; the opposite end of the cord

connects to the cigarette barrel. Plug the

cigarette barrel into your vehicle’s

cigarette plug.

V945 operates on 12 volts DC negative

ground only. The lighter plug provided is

a standard size and will work in most

vehicles. Of course, your lighter socket

must be clean and properly connected

for proper operation.

Note: depending on your vehicle, the

lighter socket power may either be

continuously on, or it may be switched

on and off with your ignition switch.

In case your vehicle has continues power,

remember to remove power cord from

lighter socket when unit is not in use.

MOUNTING LOCATION

WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot

anticipate the many ways V945 can be

mounted.

It is important that you mount V945

where it will not impair your view nor

present a hazard in case of an accident.

Where to mount VECTOR 945

For optimum detection performance, we

recommend the following:

• Using the Windshield Mount, mount

your V945 level, and high enough on

your front windshield to provide a clear

view of the road from the front and

rear.

• Mount V945 away from windshield

wipers, other solid objects, and heavily

tinted areas that might obstruct the

radar antenna or laser lens.
