This document provides installation instructions for a Laser DefuserPlus device. It includes a parts list and diagrams showing how to mount the laser alert light, piezo beeper, and defuser unit in various locations on the vehicle, including the front or rear license plate, dash, or a universal bracket. Wires are run from the defuser unit to the interior and connected to provide alerts from both laser detection and an integrated radar detector unit.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING
When installing the Laser DefuserPlus outside of the system’s license plate frame, the unit should be mounted as
close to the center of the vehicle as possible, without obstruction. The mounting location of the Laser DefuserPlus
is important, as police laser gun operators are trained to aim for the flat, reflective surface of a targeted vehicle’s
front license plate. In states that do not require a front license plate, operators will traditionally aim for the front,
center of the vehicle. This procedure allows the operator to effectively "bounce" the laser signal back to the gun
to calculate the vehicle’s speed.
2. Note: When integrating the Laser DefuserPlus with the K40 remote radar system, the Laser DefuserPlus
will utilize the same warning light/speaker(s) as the K40 remote. Therefore, you will not
need to install the red L.E.D. alert light or piezo beeper that come with the Laser DefuserPlus.
LASER L.E.D. LIGHT
1. For best visibility, choose a mounting location for the laser L.E.D.
as close to the vehicle gauges as possible. See diagram A1.
2. Check for proper clearance behind the area where the L.E.D.
will be installed (approximately 1”), and drill a 3/16” hole in the
chosen location. See diagram A2.
3. Route the L.E.D. wires under the dash per diagram A3 and
connect according to the appropriate block diagram.
