    Default 73-PRO basics

    Hi!

    These wires that come with this device... where do I have to stick them and what do they do?
    I'm not talking about power cord

    Thanks!

    Hard mount means that you can mount 73-pro away from other eyes....

    And with these wires detect radars and lasers? :roll:

    To make things short you dont need these wires. Just plug the radar detector into the socket and your ready to go. If you want to hide the detector put it in a zipper bag and create slit at the bottom of the bag. And leave the zipper part slightly open no cop or other driver will ever notice.

    That pink wires with strange contact...

    Do they increase sensitivity of radar detector? And where do I have to stick them?

    Thank You!

    Those wires aren't needed. Their purpose is to allow you to wire your radar detector directly into the car's electrical system for a hidden installation. It's an either/or type situation, you can use either them or the lighter cord. Neither one will perform any better or any worse than the other. For simplicity sake, I say just stay with the one you're using now.

    No, the cord will not effect the sensitivity.

    You still have to mount the PRO73 the same no matter what. Basically, you have these wires for two power options...

    1) use the power outlet in your car
    2) use the bare wires to hardwire it as to not have exposed wires

    Neither effect performance, just personal preference on to see wires, or not to see wires.
