INTRODUCTION
Dear Whistler Owner,
For many of us, a vehicle is more than just transportation. It
can be a mobile office, communications or entertainment
center, or simply an expression of our personality. Whistler
products are designed to make the time you spend in your
vehicle more productive, more fullfilling, safer, or just simply
more fun. Our mission is to provide products that improve
your driving experience.
Your new Whistler 1675 laser/radar detector detects all radar,
laser and safety radar systems, plus offers Whistler’s exclusive
Safe Driving System™ with Digital Compass and Vehicle
Battery Saver features. The comprehensive safety system
detects all safety radar including the Safety Warning
System™ keeping you informed of road hazards and adverse
weather. Plus, Whistler’s unique Stay Alert™ feature tests dri-
ver’s alertness on long solo trips. Whistler’s 1675 also offers a
digital display with safety messages to keep you informed
while you drive and a compass features that shows your
direction of travel.
Note: Compass must be calibrated before use! See
“Compass calibration set-up” section.
To fully acquaint yourself with the operation of the Whistler
1675 and to better understand the differences between
detecting radar, laser and safety radar signals, we recom-
mend reading this entire manual.
Enjoy the Whistler 1675 and please drive safely.
Sincerely,
THE WHISTLER GROUP

INSTALLATION
Mounting Guidelines
•Mount the unit as low and level as possible near the center
of the windshield. Unit must be level for compass to function
properly.
•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 windshields have an Instaclear™or Electriclear™type
coating,which affect radarsignals. Consult your dealer or the
owner’s manual supplied with your vehicle to determine if
your windshield has this coating.
•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 two suction cups and rubber bumper onto the
bracket by fitting them into their holes.
•Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the location
you have chosen. IMPORTANT: Some newer cars have a
plastic safety coating on the inside of the windshield. The
suction cups may leave permanent marks on this type of
surface. To find out if your vehicle has this type of
windshield, check the owner’s manual or ask your dealer.
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 until it locks into place.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the wind-

shield bracket. Press the bracket release button and remove
the detector before bending.
Dash Mounting
•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 not to cover
the serial number.
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.

INSTALLATION
Visor Mounting (optional accessory)
• Slide the visor bracket into the bracket mounting slot.
• Clip the visor bracket onto the visor making sure it is
relatively level and has a clear view of the road.
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.
Fuse Replacement
The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable 2
amp 3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To replace the
fuse, carefully unscrew the tip of the plug. (IMPORTANT:
Unscrew slowly. The tip contains a spring which may fly out
when disassembling.) Insert the new fuse with the spring and
screw on the tip. With use, screw cap on plug may loosen.
Retighten occasionally.
Unscrew the tip of the lighter socket plug carefully when replacing the 2 amp
fuse. 8
