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.
