Power Connection
To power RX65, plug the small end of the
SmartPlug, (telephone-type connector) into
the modular jack on RX65’s right side, and
plug the lighter plug adapter into your
vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory socket.
RX65 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 the optional European sleeve to
ensure a snug fit. If so, simply call our
service department to order one. This
sleeve slides over the SmartPlug’s lighter
plug adapter. 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.
Optional power cords
See the Accessories section for details on
our optional Direct-wire SmartPlug.
Mounting Location
WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot anticipate
the many ways the RX65 can be mounted.
It is important that you mount RX65 where
it will not impair your view nor present a
hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount RX65
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the Windshield QuickMount, mount
your RX65 level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of
the road from the front and rear.
• Mount RX65 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.

Installation
Windshield QuickMount
RX65’s QuickMount windshield bracket is
designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free
mounting.
1 Depress the QuickMount button on the
top of RX65 (by the word BELTRONICS)
and slide the QuickMount 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 QuickMount bracket can be bent.
To ensure that the suction cups adhere to
the windshield firmly, be sure to keep both
your windshield and the suction cups clean.
2 To adjust RX65 on your windshield,
use the QuickMount adjustment button
located on the top of the RX65, and slide
RX65 forward or backward to obtain a level
horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the
back top edge of the RX65 should rest
solidly against your windshield.
Caution!
A few vehicles (including some Porsches)
have windshields with a soft anti-lacerative
coating on the inside surface. Use of suction
cups will permanently mar this coating.
Consult your dealership or the vehicle
owner’s manual to determine if your wind-
shield has this coating.
User’s Tip
You can leave the QuickMount bracket in
place on your windshield, and easily remove
the RX65 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.
Additional mounts are available.
