X/K/Ka Super Wideband  (220-1648)     Operation        Faxback Doc. # 3409
Radar Detector

POWER AND SELF TEST

To turn on the detector, connect power and turn OFF/VOLUME away from you
until it clicks.

The detector sounds a distinctive tone for each band and lights all
indicators in sequence as a self test.  Then all indicators turn off
except the POWER indicator.

To turn off the detector, turn OFF/VOLUME toward you until it clicks.  All
indicators turn off.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

To exchange the detector's volume, turn OFF/VOLUME either away from or
toward you.

OPERATING SETTINGS

The detector has two operating modes: city and highway.  You can also set
the detector to temporarily mute the audio alert and turn off all
indicators except the POWER indicator.

CITY MODE

The FCC has allocated X-band signals for non-traffic radar systems such as
intrusion alarms, automatic door openers, and microwave traffic signal
controllers.  The city mode reduces the annoyance created by non-traffic
radar signals by requiring a stronger incoming signal before it sounds an
alert tone.

To select the city mode, press CITY/HWY until the CITY/HWY indicator turns
on.

HIGHWAY MODE

The highway mode provides maximum sensitivity for open-road driving.  To
select the highway mode, press CITY/HWY until the CITY/HWY indicator
turns off.

MUTING THE AUDIO ALERT

To temporarily silence the detector, press MUTE until the MUTE indicator
turns on.

You can also press MUTE while the audio alert is sounding to silence it.

To restore the detector's audio alert, press MUTE until the MUTE indicator
turns off.

TURNING OFF THE DISPLAY

To temporarily turn off all indicators except POWER, press DARK.  The
POWER indicator remains on to let you know the detector is receiving
power.  The detector's audio alert remain active.  To return to the normal
full indications, press DARK again.

RECEIVING AND IDENTIFYING RADAR SIGNALS

When you first turn on the detector, it sounds different alert tones in
the following order; X, K, and Ka.

When the detector senses a radar signal, it responds with both audio and
visual alarms.  The detector notifies you of the type of radar signal by
using different audio alarms for each type.

In addition, the signal strength meter shows the signal strength by
increasing the number of indicators that turn on.  The audio alert tone
pulse rate also increases with signal strength.

The detector's instant-on radar detection circuit provides a warning for
instant-on radar, which can lock onto the vehicle's speed in less than 1
second.

When the detector senses instant-on radar, it immediately flashes a full
signal strength meter and sounds three beeps three times within 2 seconds.
Then the detector sounds a continuous tone until you pass the radar
source.

The instant-on radar detection circuit operates in both the highway and
city modes.
