RADAR DETECTOR DETECTORS
(RDDS)
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 LRD450 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 LRD450 will provide trouble-
free service. Please keep the following tips in mind:
• Don’t leave your unit on the dashboard during summer

• Do not spray cleaners or other liquids on the unit.
