I dunno about going off earlier when you are coming over a hill..............but it does say in the manual to mount it as close to the upper center of your windshileld as possible

"Detector performance is enhanced by a high mounting position. Two reasons. For radar, a longer sight line to the horizon always helps. For laser, moving away from the hood and its sun reflections helps a lot."

i always read. you need the radar detector on the windshield, the bottom of it flat (level). and that the higher you place it on the window. the better for picking up radar, and the lower, is better for laser. But inthe middle is just right....
