Law enforcement officers use special equipment to detect signals radiated by radar detectors. If they are in a state where radar detectors are illegal and the officer detects a vehicle using a radar detector, the operator of that vehicle could lose the radar detector and be fined. The DFR1 is designed to be invisible to signals from the Spectre l, Spectre lV, and VG-2 RDDs. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Use common sense and your DFR1 will provide trouble-free service. Please keep the following tips in mind: • Don't leave your unit on the dashboard during summer months. Interior heat may exceed safe operating levels. • Do not spray cleaners or other liquids on the unit. Remove the unit when you are using these liquids. • Do not use abrasive cleansers on the unit's exterior. TROUBLESHOOTING IF... TRY THIS... No display or audio. Check the fuse in the plug.

RADAR DETECTOR DETECTORS
(RDD)
Radar detectors are illegal in some states. Law enforcement
officers use special equipment to detect signals radiated by
radar detectors. If they are in a state where radar detectors are
illegal and the officer detects a vehicle using a radar detector,
the operator of that vehicle could lose the radar detector and
be fined.
The DFR1 is designed to be invisible to signals from the Spectre
l, Spectre lV, and VG-2 RDDs.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use common sense and your DFR1 will provide trouble-free
service. Please keep the following tips in mind:
• Don’t leave your unit on the dashboard during summer
months. Interior heat may exceed safe operating levels.
• Do not spray cleaners or other liquids on the unit.
Remove the unit when you are using these liquids.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers on the unit’s exterior.
