When riding in urban areas where intense X-band intrusion alarms and door openers are common, City mode can be engaged to lower X-band sensitivity and reduce X-band alerts. Full sensitivity is maintained on all other bands. You can customize the City mode sensitivity. See the EZ Programming section for details. Dim:
button selects the brightness of the display. There are four settings: Maximum, Medium, Minimum, and Dark. Press the DIM tor on, it automatically selects the brightness setting you last used. Dark Mode:
changes to a very inconspicuous power-on indication: a very dim AD, HD, or CD. (In this display, the A, H or C indicates Auto, Highway, or City, and the D indicating Dark.) When the detector is in the Dark mode, the display will not show visual alerts when it detects signals. Only the audible alert will tell you of detected signals. Audible Alerts:
For Radar signals: The Road Tech 75 uses a geiger-counter-
like sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar signal being encountered. When you encounter radar, a distinct audible alert will sound and occur faster as the signal gets stronger. When the signal is very strong, the audible alerts will blend into a solid tone. This allows you to judge the dis-
tance from the signal source without taking your eyes from the road. When you select Dark mode using the DIM switch, the display Since Laser and POP signals are a possible threat no matter how weak, the Road Tech 75 alerts you to these with a full alert. NOTE Page 9 Controls and Features Signal Strength Meter:
The Road Tech 75s matrix display consists of 280 individual LEDs, to provide an intuitive ultra-bright display of signal strength and text messages. When the Road Tech 75 detects radar, it displays the band of the radar (X, K, or Ka), and a precise bar graph of signal strength. When Road Tech detects laser or POP, the display will show LASER or POP. If you are operating the Road Tech 75 in the Dark mode, the display will not light when a signal is detected- only the audio will alert you. NOTE See page 12. ExpertMeter:
The Road Tech 75s ExpertMeter option is an advanced display for experienced detector users. Please use the detector for a few weeks to get familiar with its other features before using ExpertMeter. To use the ExpertMeter instead of the bar graph signal strength meter, you must select ExpertMeter in the EZ Programming section. The Road Tech 75s standard signal strength meter only displays information about a single radar signal. If there are multiple signals present, the Road Tech 75s internal computer determines which one is the most important threat to show on the bar graph meter. However, the Road Tech 75s Expert-
Meter simultaneously tracks up to 8 radar signals. It shows you detailed infor-
mation on up to 2 Ka-band, 2 K-band, and 4 X-band signals. ExpertMeter can help you spot a change in your normal riding environment;
for example, a trafc radar unit being operated in an area where there are nor-
mally other signals present. The ExpertMeter is actually a miniature spectrum analyzer. It shows what band each signal is, its relative frequency within the band, and its signal strength. KA K X Above is the ExpertMeter display if the Road Tech 75 was detecting 2 strong Ka-band, 2 strong K-band, and 4 strong X-band signals. Page 10 As you can see, there are vertical lines after each band designator. Each line shows a signal being detected. The height of each line shows the relative sig-
nal strength of that signal. The position of the line shows the relative frequency of the signal within the band. Controls and Features If you use ExpertMeter, the brief signal shown in the power-on sequence when you turn on your Road Tech 75 will also be in ExpertMeter: an X with a NOTE single vertical line. A few more examples will help you better see how the ExpertMeter works. K X Here ExpertMeter shows 1 strong K-band signal, and three X-band signals, two strong and one weak. KA X Here ExpertMeter shows 1 weak Ka-band signal, and three weak X-band sig-
nals. X On very weak signals, there will not be a vertical line at all. This shows a very weak X-band signal. ExpertMeter Details:
display for a few seconds after the signal has passed. This allows you to see what the unit detected, even on very brief signals. However, the vertical lines representing individual signals continuously change (several times a second) to give you a continuous and instantaneous view of all radar signals present. The band designators (X, K, and Ka) will stay on the Even long-time detector users will require a signicant time to get familiar with this new level of information about detected signals.

This means that there will be no alert lamp or display indication. However, during start-up, a brief Dark All message will appear, notifying the user that the detector is in this mode. Page 18 Customize Road Tech with EZ Programming Details of EZ Programming Options Bands:
BandsDFT In this setting the recommended radar and laser frequencies are monitored. This is the factory setting, and it is recommended that you use your Road Tech 75 in this mode. BandsMOD In this setting, the Road Tech 75 will warn you with an audible alert, and asso-
ciated text message stating which band has changed from the original factory setting (i.e. POP ON). This warning is displayed during the start up sequence (standard or fast). Do not turn off a band unless you are absolutely certain that there are no trafc radar units using that specic band in your area. NOTE Page 19 Interpreting Alerts Although the Road Tech 75 has a comprehensive warning system and this handbook is as complete as we can make it, only experience will teach you what to expect from your Road Tech 75 detector and how to interpret what it is telling you. The radar alerts you receive are affected by the specic type of radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on) and the location of the radar source. The following examples will give you an introduction to understanding the Road Tech 75s warning system for radar, laser and safety alerts. Alert Road Tech 75 begins to sound slowly, and then the rate of alerts increases until the alert becomes a solid tone. The Signal Meter ramps accordingly. Road Tech 75 emits short alerts for a few seconds and then falls silent only to briey alert and fall silent again. Road Tech 75 suddenly sounds a con-
tinuous tone for the appropriate band received. All segments in the Signal Strength Meter are lit. A brief laser alert. Explanation You are approaching a continuous radar source aimed in your direction. An instant-on radar source is being used ahead of you and out of your view. An instant-on radar source or laser source is being used nearby. This kind of alert requires immediate attention!
Laser is being used in the area. Because laser is inherently difcult to detect, any laser alert may indicate a source very close by. Page 20 Alert Road Tech 75 receives weak signals. These signals may be a little stronger as you pass large, roadside objects. The signals increase in frequency. Road Tech 75 alerts slowly for awhile and then abruptly jumps to a strong alert. Road Tech 75 alerts intermittently. Rate and strength of alerts may be consistent or vary wildly. Road Tech 75 alerts intermittently. Interpreting Alerts Explanation A moving patrol car with continuous radar is overtaking you from behind. Because these signals are reected
(reections are increased by large objects), they may or may not eventu-
ally melt into a solid point even when the patrol car is directly behind you. You are approaching a radar unit con-
cealed by a hill or an obstructed curve. A patrol car is traveling in front of you with a radar source aimed forward. Because signals are sometimes reected off of large objects and sometimes not, the alerts may seem inconsistent. A patrol car is approaching from the other direction, sampling trafc with instant-on radar. Such alerts should be taken seriously. Page 21 Interpreting Alerts Alert Road Tech 75 gives an X-band alert intermittently. Explanation You are riding through an area popu-
lated with radar motion sensors (door openers, burglar alarms, etc.) Since these transmitters are usually con-
tained inside buildings or aimed toward OR away from you, they are typically not as strong or lasting as a real radar encounter. CAUTION Since the characteristics of these alerts may be similar to some of the preceding examples, overcondence in an unfamiliar area can be dangerous. Likewise, if an alert in a commonly traveled area is suddenly stronger or on a different band than usual, speed radar may be set up nearby. Page 22 Detection Technology How Radar Works Trafc radar, which consists of microwaves, travels in straight lines and is eas-
ily reected by objects such as cars, trucks, even guardrails and overpasses. Radar works by directing its microwave beam down the road. As your motor-
cycle travels into range, the microwave beam bounces off your motorcycle, and the radar antenna looks for the reections. Using the Doppler Principle, the radar equipment then calculates your speed by comparing the frequency of the reection of your motorcycle to the original frequency of the beam sent out. Trafc radar has limitations, the most signicant of these being that it typically can monitor only one target at a time. If there is more than one car or motorcy-
cle within range, it is up to the radar operator to decide which target is produc-
ing the strongest reection. Since the strength of the reection is affected by both the size of the car or motorcycle and its proximity to the antenna, it is dif-
cult for the radar operator to determine if the signal is from a car or motorcy-
cle nearby or a semi-truck several hundred feet away. Radar range also depends on the power of the radar equipment itself. The strength of the radar units beam diminishes with distance. The farther the radar has to travel, the less energy it has for speed detection. Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same fre-
quency as X-band and K-band radar, your Road Tech 75 will occasionally receive non-police radar signals. Since these X-band and K-band transmitters are usually contained inside of buildings or aimed toward the ground, they will generally produce much weaker readings than will a true radar encounter. As you become familiar with the sources of these pseudo alarms in your daily riding, they will serve as conrmation that your Road Tech 75s radar detection abilities are fully operational. Page 23 Detection Technology How POP Works POP mode is a relatively new feature for radar gun manufacturers. It works by transmitting an extremely short burst, within the allocated band, to identify speeding vehicles and motorcycles in trafc. Once the target is identied, or Popped, the gun is then turned to its normal operating mode to provide a vehicle tracking history, which is required by law. How Laser Works Laser speed detection is actually LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). LIDAR guns project a beam of invisible infrared light. The signal is a series of very short infrared light energy pulses which move in a straight line, reecting off your motorcycle and returning to the gun. LIDAR uses these light pulses to measure the distance to a motorcycle. Speed is then calculated by measuring how quickly these pulses are reected given the known speed of light. LIDAR (or laser) is a newer technology and is not as widespread as conventional radar, therefore, you may not encounter laser on a daily basis. And unlike radar detection, laser detection is not prone to false alarms. Because LIDAR transmits a much narrower beam than does radar, it is much more accurate in its ability to distinguish between targets and is also more difcult to detect. AS A RESULT, EVEN THE BRIEFEST LASER ALERT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. There are limitations to LIDAR equipment. LIDAR is much more sensitive to weather conditions than RADAR, and a LIDAR guns range will be decreased by anything affecting visibility such as rain, fog, or smoke. A LIDAR gun cannot operate through glass and it must be stationary in order to get an accurate reading. Because LIDAR must have a clear line of sight and is subject to cosine error (an inaccuracy which increases as the angle between the gun and the motorcycle increases) police typically use LIDAR equipment parallel to the road or from an overpass. LIDAR can be used day or night. Page 24 Detection Technology How Safety Radar Works From the factory, your Road Tech 75 is programmed with Safety Warning Sys-
tem (SWS) decoding OFF. If SWS is used in your area, your Road Tech 75 will display these signals as K-band radar signals instead of safety radar unless you use the EZ Programming to turn Road Tech 75s SWS decoding ON. The SWS safety radar system has 64 possible messages (60 currently allo-
cated). The SWS messages displayed on your Road Tech are listed below. NOTE Some of the safety messages have been condensed, so each message can be displayed on one or two screens on Road Tech 75s eight character display. Since SWS is relatively new and the number of transmitters in operation is not yet widespread, you will not receive SWS alerts on a daily basis and should not be surprised to encounter emergency vehicles, road hazards and railroad crossings that are unequipped with these transmitters and, therefore, fail to provide a signal.

If problems arise, check the troubleshooting section in this manual for a solution. If a solution is not available in the troubleshooting section, please contact your local dealer. They will evaluate your detector and mount and arrange repairs if necessary. Page 29 Care and Maintenance The case of your Harley-Davidson Road Tech 75 DETECTOR is constructed from an injection molded plastic with an LEXAN LCD screen. Some steps will help aid long-term reliability and cosmetic appearance. Do not use solvent based chemicals or waxes directly on plastic components as they can affect the overall performance and appearance of the plastic. The black plastic front face can be cared for with a plastic/rubber protectant to reduce the cosmetic affects of long term outdoor exposure. Follow directions on product labels for correct application and use. Use use soft cloths such as Harley-Davidson Microber Detailing Cloth (Part No. 94663-02) or Softcloth
(Part No. 94656-98) to avoid scratches. The LEXAN screen can be cleaned with Novus No. 1 Cleaner and Protectant
(Part No. 99837-94T). If corrosion is present on contacts or mating spring terminals, gently wipe con-
