Install ati o n Instr uc ti o ns & Recommended Procedures NOTE: Unlike other radar detectors and aftermarket accessories, the K40 Calibre will not interfere with the vehicle's complex electronic systems. The K40 Calibre has its own independent Bluetooth® network with its own unique address. Warning LED(s) FRONT ALERT REAR ALERT 1. Consult with vehicle owner about LED location. For best visibility, choose a mounting location as close to the vehicle gauges as possible. 2. Check for proper clearance behind the area where the LED(s) will be installed (approximately 1") and drill a 3/16" hole in the chosen location for the LED(s). CALIBRE DL models require the mounting of a second LED for rear radar warnings. 3. Route all of the LED wires under the dash per DIAGRAM A1. E LED WHIT IRE W LED BLUE E WIR GREY LED WIRE GREY LED WIRE DIAGRAM A1 Warning Pod(s) 1. Consult with vehicle owner about Pod location. For best visibility, choose a mounting location as close to the vehicle gauges as possible. 2. Before mounting the Warning Pod(s), clean both the Pod surface and desired mounting location on the dash with rubbing alcohol. 3. Position the Warning Pod(s) on the dash with the provided double stick "O" ring tape. CALIBRE DL-P models require the mounting of a second Pod for rear radar warnings. 4. Route the black cable(s) from the Warning Pod(s) through or under the dash per DIAGRAM B1.

Route the amplified speaker cable around a panel edge and reattach the under dash panel per DIAGRAM D1. 2. For maximum audio output and concealment, mount the amplified speaker to the outside of the under dash panel with the supplied screws per DIAGRAM D1. DASH PANEL NOTE: If the vehicle is not equipped with an under dash panel (e.g., Porsche), mount the amplified speaker to existing factory wire looms, brackets, or support structures with the supplied cable ties. SPEAKER CABLE SPEAKER SCREWS DIAGRAM D1 Remote Control 1. Consult with vehicle owner about the wireless Remote Control location. For optimum accessibility, choose a mounting location on the dash or center console within easy reach of the driver. 2. Before mounting the Remote Control to the dash or console, clean both the Remote Control surface and desired mounting location with rubbing alcohol. 3. Position the Remote Control to the dash or console with the provided double stick tape. Front Radar Receiver 1. Choose a mounting location in the front of the vehicle per DIAGRAM E1. The radar receiver can be mounted horizontally or vertically provided the arrows are pointing forward, towards the road ahead. 2. Mount the front radar receiver with the supplied screws or wire ties to the vehicle's structure per DIAGRAM E1. 3. Route the wires to the desired connection point and connect per the separate enclosed block diagram sheet. NOTE: All radar receivers can be mounted behind plastic, rubber, or fiberglass up to 1/4" thick. Do not mount radar receiver behind metal or chromed plastic.

License Plate Mount 1. Remove the mounting bolts and any existing frame or cover from the license plate. Remove license plate. 2. Position the Laser Defuser around the existing front license plate and mount it against the factory license plate bracket. Use the existing mounting bolts or K40 supplied nylon bolts to secure the Laser Defuser frame and license plate to the bracket. NOTE: On vehicles that have only one set of bracket mounting holes, it is recommended that the Laser Defuser and the license plate be bolted together to eliminate any vibration. 3. For proper performance, the Laser Defuser must be mounted completely level. Use the K40 supplied nylon nuts and bolts to correct the mounting angle of the Laser Defuser either up or down as needed. See DIAGRAM F1. 4. Route the black and clear zip cord wires into the engine compartment either through the grill or under the bumper. Connect with radar receiver wires per the separate enclosed block diagram sheet.

CUSTOM Mount 1. Separate the Laser Defuser module from the license plate frame by removing the two screws on the backside of the frame. 2. Choose a mounting location near the center of the vehicle that has a clear, unobstructed view of the road. See DIAGRAM G1. CENTERED & UNOBSTRUCTED DO NOT PUT BEHIND GRILL DO NOT OBSTRUCT VIEW DO NOT MOUNT OFF CENTER DIAGRAM G1 3. If utilizing the supplied universal mounting bracket, determine which holes will be used to mount the Laser Defuser to the vehicle. Remove the unused mounting tabs on the bracket as needed. 4. Apply the supplied double stick tape directly to the Laser Defuser and attach the Laser Defuser to the universal mounting bracket with the included 1/4" screws. See DIAGRAM G2.

REAR RADAR RECEIVER NOTE: The rear radar receiver can be mounted behind plastic, rubber, or fiberglass up to 1/4" thick. Do not mount radar receiver behind metal or chromed plastic. 1. The rear radar receiver can be fastened to the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws or cable ties. See DIAGRAM H1. 2. Route the rear radar receiver cable into trunk through factory grommet. 3. If a factory grommet is not available, use the provided strain relief: a. Choose a mounting location in the trunk compartment as close to the radar receiver as possible. b. Drill a 1/2" hole into the chosen location for the strain relief. c. Install the strain relief and tighten the mounting nut securely. d. Route the rear radar receiver cable through the strain relief, leaving a little slack in the receiver cable. e. Tighten the waterproof gasket nut to create a waterproof seal. 4. Connect wires per the separate enclosed block diagram sheet.
