INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ESCORT/COBRA/BELTRONICS EZ MAG MOUNT RADAR
DETECTORS
The magnet must be removed from the suction cup mount that the radar detector came with.
Unscrew and remove bolt, only the magnetic piece is used with the blendmount.
Install aluminum threaded insert into magnet, and attach magnet onto blend- mount with lip pointed in direction as shown.
314 INNER DIAMETER 718 INNER DIAMETER WITH BUSHINGS WITHOUT BUSHINGS
This mount was designed to fit rear view mirror stems that are 3/4 or 7/8 in diameter. If the mount is too big to clamp onto your mirror stem, use the two bushings.Grab the mirror and move the stem upward using the windshield pivot only.
Mirror stem can pivot left/right to point radar detector where desired
Most compatible mirrors have a stem between the mirror and the windshield that has a pivot on both ends. We recommend that you try moving the mirror upward before installing the mount. Grab the mirror and move the stem upward using the windshield pivot only. Adjust the mirror to your normal viewing position using the mirror pivot only. Notice the higher location of the mirror. The mirror stem may move side to side as well. Make sure the stem points straight ahead so the RD does too.
Install the mount while sitting in the passenger side of your vehicle. Remove the right-top portion of the mount and position the mount around the mirror stem as shown above. Reattach the right side of the mount. Make sure the lock washer is still on the lower clamp screw. Leave the top screw loose so the mount can slide along the mirror stem and rotate to the desired location. There may be a plastic oval clip around a wire and the stem, the clip must be removed to install the mount. Lightly snug screws, do not fully tighten until last step.
BLENDMOUNT CENTER LINK
The center link may be removed if an overall shorter mount length is needed, depending on your rear view miror and desired position for the radar detector.
Innovative Mounting Solutions
Install the RD onto the mount. Make the necessary adjustments as shown above. Using the upper and lower pivots, and the vertical adjustment, leave enough room below bottom of mirror to allow access to buttons on top of radar detector.
TOP CLAMP SCREW TIGHTEN LAST
At this point your RD should be positioned where you want it and the screws should be snug. Loosen the top clamp screw so both the lower clamp screws can be fully tightened. Grab the long arm of the alien wrench to assure that these screws are securely tightened, you will not strip out the tapped holes in the aircraft grade aluminum. The bottom clamp screws should be fully tightened before tightening the top clamp screw. If the top screw is tightened before the bottom screws are, the clamp will loosen over time.
To remove the radar from the magnetic mount, simply tilt the face of the RD up
and twist slightly to side, then the magnet will release.
