Then self test will start, where each band will be displayed accompanying its alerted sound:
Then the display that the system is ready:
*CONNECT : GPS fix(ding dong sound alert 1sec display Radar MODE Setting Functions Hwy NoX MODE: Highway mode X BAND no detection

-Cty NoXK MODE: City mode X,K BAND no detection Main Unit Functions When radar or laser signals are detected, the detected band and its strength will be displayed, along with its distinct sound alert. Power Button Press the Power Button for 2 seconds to turn the unit on or off. Mode Button (upper left button) For City/Highway Mode, each time this button is pressed it will toggle between City and Highway modes, and the display will display the mode setting selected. A beep will be emitted with each mode change. For Peripheral Control Mode, each time this button is pressed for 2 or more seconds it will toggle between Headset Volume Control (Vol), and Visual Alert Brightness Control
(LED) with the following displays:
The display for the toggled Peripheral Control Mode will only be displayed on the LCD for 2 seconds, then the display will revert back to either City or Highway, unless a signal is being detected. The Peripheral Control Mode affects how the Up and Down buttons function, which will be explained later in this document. Alert Off/Dim Button (lower left button) If a radar or laser signal is detected, pressing this button will temporarily mute all audio alerts (main unit and headset) and stop the LEDs on the Visual Alert from flashing. Audio and visual alerts will be stopped for the duration of the detected signal and any new signals detected within the next seconds. When this button is pressed, will be displayed for 1 second, and the detected radar or laser signal will return to the LCD display. When this button is pressed for 2 or more seconds, it will toggle the backlight on the Main Unit buttons on/off. Up and Down Buttons (upper and lower right buttons) The Up and Down buttons control the volume of the Main Unit and the Headset, and the LED brightness of the Visual Alert. When each is pressed for 1 or more seconds, the increase or decrease in the volume/brightness will increase or decrease continuously until the maximum or minimum volume level is reached. The system will remember the last volume setting each time it is turned on, except for the Visual Alert, where auto-setting is the default (explained below). When Headset Control Mode is selected, the Up and Down buttons control the volume on the Main Unit and the Headset. For each level the volume is raised/lowered, the Main Unit and the Headset will emit a corresponding volume. The display is as follows:
The Main Unit has a photo-sensor and it automatically controls the brightness setting on the Visual Alert. The auto-setting is the default setting on the Visual Alert each time the unit is turned on. However, it can be over-ridden by the user with a push of the Up or the Down button if Visual Alert Control Mode is selected. When Visual Alert Control Mode is selected, the Up and Down buttons control the LED brightness on the Visual Alert. Each time the button is pressed, the Main Unit will emit a beep and the Visual Alert will double flash a corresponding brightness. The auto-setting function can be turned back on by the user by select the lowest setting on the Down button. The display is as follows:
Other:Tx Opertion The Main Units must operate properly and not interfere with each other when multiple units are being used in the same vicinity (>2m). The Main Unit will emit a beep every time a button is pressed (except Alert Off). The transmitter format is system data /band ID and signal strength data . The Main unit only operation transmitter (418Mhz):
*Main Unit function press operation example mode change and volume up &down.(Manual Tx)
* When Main Unit radar/laser signal detector is Tx formatted transmitter.(Semi Auto) GPS Function Opertion 1. GPS functions will work only after the connection to the satellites is established. SRCH will be displayed during the GPS signal reception. 2. The first time this unit is Power ON, it may take about one minute to make link with the satellites.
(Cold start ) (If unit is not positioned correctly, the time can be extended.) However, from the next time, the time to catch Satellite will be
-Within 3 seconds (Hot start) : Unit power on again within two hours after power Off.
-Within 40 seconds.(Warm start) : Unit power on again within 24 hours after power Off. 3.Car Driving GPS function operation show display & beep sound alert. Wireless Headset:Rx Opertion The Power Button on the Headset has an LED backlight. It will flash once every 3 seconds when it is turned on. It will have a double flash every 3 seconds when it is in communication with the Main Unit. The Headset will have an auto-shut off capability if it is not in communication with the Main Unit after 15 minutes. The Headset will beep each time a function button on the Main Unit is pressed. The Headset will emit the exact same beeps as the Main Unit. The Headset must not transmit or receive interference from other radar detectors or Headsets at distances greater than or equal to 7meters. Visual Alert The Visual Alert will flash each time a function button on the Main Unit is pressed. LED Intensity to be adjustable from Main Unit buttons as well as photo sensor. Flash frequency to correlate with signal strength. Memory Retention Electronically remembers all your own settings for a certain period of time after power-off. V. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM: No display or audio. Check fuse in the plug and replace if necessary with a 2 amp type. Check fuse for lighter socket; replace if necessary. Make sure lighter socket is clean. PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits bumps. Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean. Check connections at both ends of power cord. Substitute another cord to determine if cord is defective. Return defective cord to the factory. PROBLEM: Unit alarms when using vehicle equipment or electrical accessories
(brakes, power mirrors/windows, directionals, horn, etc.). Vehicles electrical system, including battery and alternator, may have electrical noise. Install a filter capacitor (470mfd. 25 volt or larger capacitance value) on the back of the lighter socket. Factory setting All user features can be reset to factory settings. Please follow below steps for reset. 1. Unplug Power Cord from unit 2. Press and hold Power and Mute/City Key. 3. Plug Power Cord into unit. 4. Wait for 2 beeps. 5. Release Power and Mute button. Unit is now reset

Highway Mode On. Dim/Dark Mode to full illumination of display. VI. SPEED MONITORING DEVICES Radar speed gun A radar gun operates by transmitting radio waves at certain frequencies which reflect off objects and are then picked up by the radar guns receiving section. When a radar beam reflects off a moving target, a measurable frequency shift occurs. The radar unit converts this shift into miles per hour to determine your vehicles speed. Laser speed gun Its well documented that many radar guns cannot reliably provide the speed of a targeted vehicle that is traveling in a group of vehicles. In contrast, a laser gun can target a specific vehicle out of a line of traffic and determine its speed. The advantage of laser over radar in terms of target identification is the result of the laser guns narrow beam. A radar transmission can cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser transmission which covers about 6 feet at the same distance. For best protection, keep these points in mind:
Because your vehicles license plate or headlights are the laser guns primary targets, mounting your detector on the dashboard can improve laser detection at short range. Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you cannot see through. If you cant see past a vehicle ahead of you, chances are your detector wont either. The receiving range of your laser detector will not be the same as a radar detector. Laser guns are most often used at short range VII. MAINTENANCE Care And Maintenance During the summer months, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight by removing your unit from the dash when your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time. Do not spray water, cleaners or polishes directly onto the unit. The spray may penetrate through the openings and damage the unit. Also, do not use any abrasive cleaners on the units exterior. Fuse Replacement The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable 2 amp 3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully unscrew the tip of the plug. (IMPORTANT: Unscrew slowly. The tip contains a spring which may fly out when disassembling.) Insert the new fuse with the spring and screw on the tip. With use, cap on plug may loosen. Retighten occasionally.
