[. . . ] Since the LRD 6699SWS is just a radio receiver tuned to a specific portion of the public radio spectrum, it is protected under this act. Some local, state, and federal regulations may prohibit the use of this detection device. Please check with authorities regarding the use of this device before operating it. Operation Notice Safety Warning Systems You have purchased the newest technology designed for Radar, Laser and Safety Warning System detection and alert. You should be aware that Safety Warning transmitters (the device that alerts your detector for safety warning alerts) will be available for use throughout the United States. [. . . ] If a laser signal is detected, LASER will display in the first five LEDs while the remaining LEDs light. A distinct audio alert is heard for radar and laser signals. LED Signal Strength Meter -- Starting with the third LED position, as the signal gets stronger, additional LEDs will light. See page 18, LED Signal Strength Meter in City Mode. Safety Warning System (SWS) Display -- All eight LEDs display SWS messages. Messages longer than eight-digits are scrolled repeatedly. When SWS data is received and cannot be specified, `SAFETY WARNING MESSAGE' displays. A distinct audio alert is heard for SWS messages. Dimmer/Audio Mode -- The fifth LED position indicates Dimmer (D) or Audio (A) mode. Dimmer mode dims the LEDs but displays all possible data. Audio mode disables signal displays and dims the Three-Color LED. Please read this section of the Operating Guide carefully to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of this unit. Power On Turn the Volume Control switch to turn power on. Once the Power-On alert sounds, your LRD 6699SWS performs a six second self-test of all circuits. The X-band alert sounds for two seconds while the Three-Color LED illuminates red, and the Signal Meter LED lights. Next you will hear the K-band, Ka-Super Wideband, Laser, and SWS alerts for one second each. (The corresponding Three-Color LED, City/Highway, Audio/Dimmer, and Mute indications also light. ) After the self-test, your detector sets the modes which were used last. If this is the first time you have used your LRD 6699SWS, it should be set for HWY use, and both the AUDIO and MUTE modes should be off. If you experience any of these problems: · Settings do not display · The unit turns on and off intermittently · An alert sounds too often for no reason Check to make sure both ends of the power cord are tightly secured. If the problems continue, refer to page 20, "Troubleshooting" for more information. Volume Control Adjust the Volume to a comfortable announcement/ alarm tone level for your vehicle. The volume level does not have any effect on the unit's sensitivity. 13 Full Warning When the LRD 6699SWS detects a radar, laser, or safety warning signal, it emits a distinct warning tone. The corresponding X-, K-, Ka-Super Wideband, Laser, or SWS indication display along with the corresponding red, green or amber Three-Color LED. For radar, as the signal gets stronger, more signal strength LEDs light.
