Installation Windshield Mount
Power Connection
To power the GX65, plug the small end of
the SmartPlug, (telephone-type connector)
into the modular jack on the GX65’s right
side, and plug the lighter plug adapter into
your vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory
socket.
The GX65 operates on 12 volts DC
negative ground only. The lighter plug
provided is a standard size and will work
in most vehicles. However, some vehicles
may require our optional sleeve to ensure
a snug fit. If so, simply call or visit our
website.
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.
Optional power cords
Call or visit our website for our optional
Direct-wire cords.
Mounting Location
WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot
anticipate the many ways the GX65
can be mounted. It is important that
you mount the GX65 where it will not
impair your view or present a hazard
in case of an accident.
2 To adjust the GX65 on your
windshield, use the EasyMount adjustment
button located on the top of the GX65, and
slide GX65 forward or backward to obtain
a level horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly,
the back top edge of the GX65 should rest
solidly against your windshield.
User’s Tip
You can leave the bracket in place on your
windshield, and easily remove the GX65
by pressing the adjustment button and
sliding it off the mount. Again, be sure to
position the bracket where it won’t
present a hazard in the event of an
accident.
Where to mount GX65
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the supplied windshield mount,
mount your GX65 level and high enough
on your front windshield to provide a clear
view of the road ahead. For optimum rear
detection, center the detector between
the driver and passenger.
• Mount the GX65 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.
NOTE: In order for the GX65’s GPS
based features to work properly, the
top case must have a clear view of the
sky.
Windshield Mount
The GX65’s windshield bracket is designed
for unobtrusive and hassle-free mounting.
1 Depress the adjustment button on the
top of the GX65 (by the word
BELTRONICS) and slide the bracket into
the slot until it is locked into the position
which best fits the angle of your
windshield (there are four settings
available). For extremely horizontal or
extremely sloped windshields, the bracket
can also be bent to the correct angle.
However, we suggest that you do not do
this when the bracket is connected to the
detector.
To ensure that the suction cups
adhere to the windshield firmly, be sure to
keep both your windshield and the
suction cups clean.
