User manual UNIDEN LRD967 REFERENCE GUIDE

[. . . ] The LRD 767 / LRD 777 is a completely 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. The built-in Safety Warning System (SWSTM) is capable of detecting a hazardous warning signal transmitted on the K-band. The LRD 767 / LRD 777 provides distinct visual and audio alerts to warn you of the presence of X, K, and Ka-SuperWideband radar signals as well as IR laser signals and Safety Warning System. [. . . ] (LRD 777 will give a voice confirmation. ) Speaker -- Sounds audio alert. There are seven different audio alert tones to distinguish each type of signal received. When you become familiar with all the distinct alert tones, you can operate the LRD 767/LRD 777 just by listening, devoting your full attention to the traffic in front of you. DC 12V Power Input -- Connect the DC power cord here. On-Off/Volume Control -- Turns the power on and adjusts the Audio Alert volume. Display Panel --LEDs display laser/radar alerts, signal strength, operation mode, Safety Warning System (SWS) messages, and eight (8) cardinal directions.

At city mode : Every time you turn on the LRD 767/LRD 777, a self test is performed for all visual and audio alerts. You will hear, in-order, four distinct tones for the X, K, and Ka-SuperWideband radar bands, as well as for laser, laser L2, VG-2 and SWS.

Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of installation and the direction of the antenna/sensor in relation to the signal source. At this setting you can barely hear the audio alert in a quiet environment. WARNING To operate with visual alert only, set the volume control to the minimum. Remember though, if the volume control is turned down and Audio Only operation is selected, the alarm features are completely disabled. AUTO MUTE OPERATION Press themute button to activate the Auto Mute feature. OPERATION When the Mute is selected, the unit is in Auto Mute Mode. In this mode you hear the full audio alert when a signal is first received. The audio alert automatically reduces to a chirp for the duration of the warning. 15 CITY OPERATION In highly populated areas, you may encounter many devices that use the same frequencies as radar signals, such as motion detectors, automatic doors, and intrusion alarms. These devices may trigger an alert called "falsing. " To filter most of the weaker signals and get the most accurate radar signal recognition, press city to turn on the City Mode. If you use both the Audio Only Alert and City modes, you won't receive an audio alert until you are very close to the radar source. In City Mode, the combination of visual and audio alert tones varies based on the strength of the received signal. 16 SIGNAL STRENGTH METER The signal strength meter shown in the display panel gives you instant information about the strength of the signal being detected. A weak signal causes the first bar to light, but as signal strength increases, more bars light. All six bars for radar and three bars for laser light when full signal strength is received. Use this meter to judge the distance from the signal source. <Examples> X K KA LASER * NOTE : In Audio only mode the signal strength meter will not be displayed. SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM OPERATION The Safety Warning System (SWSTM) is a new communication system that will provide an early warning when a road hazard exists. The LRD 767/LRD 777 is capable of detecting the SWS signal broadcast on the K-band by either law enforcement or local departments of transportation. The corresponding message from 64 SWS warning messages is scrolled from the right to the left of the display panel. When this alert sounds, you should tune to local radio traffic reports or prepare to slow down or stop your vehicle because you could be approaching an accident, bad road conditions caused by weather, or road crews or construction. OPERATION 17 CARE & MAINTENANCE VOICE ALERT (LRD 777 ONLY) When each function is activated by pressing a control button, the LRD 777 gives the following voice messages: ­ By the city button : City Mode, Highway Mode ­ By the audio button : Display Dim, Display Dimmer, Audio Only, Display On ­ By the mute button : Mute On, Mute On, Mute Off.
