Important Notes
SHIFTER ZR3 Comes Complete
Read This First
Please read both sides of these
instructions before starting your
installation.
For the easiest trouble-free 
installation, install the Interface
first, and wire it to a 12-volt
switched circuit.
Then before installing the other
components, plug all of them into
the Interface and power up the
unit to confirm proper operation.
Since Laser signals will not pass
through any objects, including
plastic, it is critical that the Laser
Shifters be mounted perfectly
level, and have an unobstructed
“view”of the road.
To get the best performance
possible, the mounting location of
the radar receiver is critical.
Although radar signals will pass
through some types of plastic,
mounting the radar receiver so
that it has a clear “view”of the road
will ensure maximum warning.

Warning
A professional installer must
install your new Laser Shifter.
Installation of this system requires
experience and expertise in 
automotive electronics. Car audio
specialists and many new car
dealers can install the Laser Shifter
for you.
Attempting to install this
product without expertise in 
automotive electronics installation
can cause personal injury, or
damage to your vehicle.
If your vehicle is damaged
during installation, its safety
systems may be compromised,
which could cause personal injury
or property damage.
Improper installation may void
Shifter’s warranty.
