Warning LED(s)
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.

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.

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 brack-
et. Use the existing mounting bolts or K40 supplied nylon bolts to secure the Laser Defuser frame and license plate to
the bracket.
When integrating the K40 Laser Defuser with Calibre, the Laser Defuser will utilize the same warning
light(s)/speaker as Calibre.
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.
On some vehicles, it may be necessary to adjust or reposition the factory license plate bracket to achieve
the desired level installation.
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.

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.
CAUTION: Do not drill into the trunk until you know what is on both sides of the drilling area. Watch for
cables, spare tires, and gas tank.
Rear Laser Defuser
License Plate Mount
1. Remove the mounting bolts and any existing frame or cover from the rear license plate. Remove license plate.
2. Position the Laser Defuser around the existing rear 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.
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
