User manual UNIDEN LRD6299SWS OPERATING GUIDE

[. . . ] Introduction Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/radar detection. You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar detectors available. The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS is a complete integrated laser/radar detector. It responds to the X-, K-, and Ka-SuperWideband radar guns in use today and also provides 360° detection of the latest speed monitoring system -- the laser gun. [. . . ] You will hear in-order four distinct tones for the X-, K-, and Ka-SuperWideband radar bands, as well as for laser. 7 Installation The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna and IR laser sensor to receive radar/laser signals. Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of installation and the direction of the antenna/sensor in relation to the signal source. The inherent nature of radar waves makes them reflect off metallic surfaces. This is why these waves are so useful for measuring the speed of a vehicle. Both radar waves and IR laser light will, however, pass through plastic or glass. Before you decide where to put your radar detector, please keep in mind these two important factors: · For safety, do not mount the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS in a location where it will obstruct your driving vision. Mounting the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS behind tinted or mirrored glass may reduce the effectiveness of laser detection by reducing the amount of laser light received by the Detector. Helpful Tips The antenna and the forward looking sensor are located behind the rear panel of the unit, (and the rear- and side-looking sensors are located on top of the unit), directly behind the mode selection keys. The antenna and sensors should not be obstructed by metal or metallic surfaces and should be pointed at the horizon for accurate long-range detection. · Do not mount the unit behind the windshield wiper blades, radio antenna, tinted glass area, or mirrored glass. Be sure the unit is free from obstruction by seat backs, rear view mirror, sun visors, or the ceiling of the automobile. · Do not mount the unit in front of the heater or defroster vents. · Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or in the glove compartment of a closed car for long periods of time, as extreme changes in temperature may cause internal damage. Also, removing the unit from the windshield makes you less susceptible to break-in and theft. 8 Adjusting the Windshield Mounting Clip 1. The metal portion of the bracket locks into the plastic portion at three different positions. These positions can be used for vehicles with different vertical angles of their windshields. The back position can be used for vehicles with windshields that are slanted back. For optimum laser detection, bend the angled portion of the windshield mounting bracket so that the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS is parallel to the road surface. Be sure the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS is mounted so it is free of obstructions from seat backs, rear view mirror, sun visors, or the ceiling of the automobile. There must be a clear 360° line of sight to the outside of the vehicle. Place the bracket and the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS in the proper location on the windshield of your vehicle, and press the suction cups firmly against the windshield. 2. To mount the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS: 1. (The power LED remains on until you turn off the unit. ) The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS always turns on with its last setting. After the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS confirms proper operation, the alert tones and all LEDs, except the green Power LED, turn off. [. . . ] · Reposition so that the bumpers are firmly against the windshield. Unit fails the self test. Weak detection. Inaccurate or erratic detection: Beeps over bumps or rough road. The unit bounces against the windshield. 18 Specifications General Dimensions: Weight: Power Requirements: Temperature Range: 31/9 in. 13. 8 VDC Operating: -5°F to 160°F (-20°C to 70°C) Storage: -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C) 360° Laser Detector Receiver Type: Sensor Front End: Detector Type: Receiver Bandwidth: Spectral Response: Alert Hold Time: Radar Detector Receiver Type: Detector Type: Antenna Type: Sensitivity: Pulse Laser Signal Receiver Convex Condenser Lens Pulse Width Discriminator 30 MHz 800 - 1100 nm 3 seconds Frequency of Operation: Double Conversion Superheterodyne Self-Contained Antenna Scanning Frequency Discriminator Linear polarized, E vector vertical X band = -114 dBm/cm2 K band = -104 dBm/cm2 Ka SuperWideband = -100 dBm/cm2 10. 490 - 10. 560 GHz (X band) 24. 040 - 24. 260 GHz (K band) 33. 40 - 36. 00 GHz (Ka SuperWideband) Specifications are subject to change without notice. 19 Optional Accessories & Replacement Parts r tecto r De ada er/R e Las Guid ting ra Ope Owner's Guide Windshield Clip fjn jnjfnj njdfjn nkjsnfj ks jnkjnj km fjn dfksfm kmlf jnjfnj m\ njdfjn nkjsnfj kfmkmmfmsms ks jnkjnj km sfkkm onksnkln dfksfm kmlf kkoioi jn l m\ jfnjf kk kfmkmmfmsms njdfjnjn nkjsnfj mmkm km km sfkkm onksnkln jnkjnjkskm skdm mfmmmk jn dfksfm kmlf kkoioi fjnjnjfnjf nfj m\ sdmk lkkkml njd kkl nkjs kfmkm fmsms mmkm njkskm mk mk mm nkln jnkj km md nksllm sfkk km dfksfm kmlf skdm mfmmmk m\ kkoioiokk mm kkl fjn kfmkm fmsms mmkm mkm fnj sdmk lkkkml nkln jnj sfkkmmnks njdfjn nk fj skdmk fmmmk jsn mdmk llmmk ks kkoioio kkl sdmkmlkkkml jnkjnj mmkk km mkm mm fjn mdmk sfmkm dfk mmk lf jnjfnj fj skdmk fmmmk mmkkll kmkm m\ jn km njdfjnsdmnkjsnml kfm jfnjfmfmsms ks njdfjnjn nkjsnfj jnkjnjmdmklkkk k ln km mm sfkkm jnkjnjkskmonksnk mmkkll dfksfm kmlf jn sfmioi lf jfnjf m\ dfk kko km kkl m\ njdfjnjn nkjsnfj kfmkmmfmsms kfmkm km ms mm fms km jnkjnjkskm km sfkkmmnksnkln mk sfkkm onksnkln dfksfm skdm mf lf kkoioio kkl mm kkoioi kklkm msm\ kfmkm sdmk lkk mmkm mkm kml km mmfmsnkln mkmk mk sfkk km mm km nks skd md fmm mk kkoioio llm sdmkmlkkkml skdmmmkmkklmk mmkk mfmm m mk mdmk mmk sdmk lkkkml mk skdmk fmm mmkkll sdmkmlkkk mdmk llmmk ml mdmk mmkk kkllmmk mm Printed Material Fuses and Spare Parts Straight Power Cord Coiled Cigarette Adapter 20 ® LRD 6299SWS LRD 6399SWS Operating Guide USZZ01064ZC Precautions Important: The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS was not designed to help you disobey the law.
