NAME WHAT IT DOES 1 Eagle Eye 360° Laser detection 2 Power Jack Plugs into power source. 3 Eject Releases LRD750 from mounting hardware. 4 DIM Dims the display brightness. 5 MUTE Turns off the sound. 6 CITY Sets the unit to CITY or HIGHWAY mode. 7 Power/ Turns unit on and adjusts Volume Dial volume. 8 MENU Turns bands and other features on and off. 9 Mounting The mounting bracket fits into Bracket Slot this slot. DOT MATRIX DISPLAY The LRD750 contains a dot matrix display. When a signal is detected, the display shows the band type and signal strength in an increasing bar format. If the LRD750 detects a laser, the display shows LASER. Band Type CITY / HIGHWAY Laser CITY / HIGHWAY X Signal Strength (1 - 5) Various Alerts Voltage Meter OFF H 12 . 8v Battery Voltage Voltage Meter ON INSTALLATION AND TURN UP Install the LRD750 on the front windshield or on the dashboard. For best performance, position the detector as low as possible in the center of the front windshield. Be sure the unit's view of the road, either to the front or the back, is clear. INSTALLATION WINDSHIELD 1. Clean the windshield and the rubber cups of the mounting bracket. Attach the rubber cups to the bracket. 2. Push the bracket firmly onto the windshield. 3. Slide the unit onto the bracket. 4. Gently adjust the bracket angle if needed. Do not use the detector to adjust the bracket angle. 5. Plug the power cord into the detector. 6. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the vehicle's cigarette lighter. You can remove the detector by pressing the Eject key. Dashboard 1. Place the unit on the dashboard so that it has a clear, level view of the road. The unit cannot be readjusted after final installation. 2. Remove the backing from one side of the hook and loop fastener tape. 3. Place that fastener tape on the dashboard where you want the unit. 4. Attach the other piece of the fastener tape to the bottom of the unit and attach the unit to the dashboard fastener tape. You can remove the unit as needed. 5. Plug the power cord into the detector. 6. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the vehicle's cigarette lighter. TURN UP Once the detector is installed and the car is turned on, turn the Power/Volume dial away from you until it clicks. The unit is now turned on. The unit cycles through the display in this order: X - K - Ka Laser, then signal strength except for Laser (L). Voice announces each band. Once the cycle is complete, the detector turns to standby mode. Highway Standby Mode BANDS The LRD750 recognizes: • X Band: This band was the first frequency band assigned to police radar. It operated on a lower frequency (10.525GHz) with a higher power output. • K Band: This band is the most common frequency used in radar detectors (24.150). Its relatively small wavelength gives it a clocking distance of about 1/4 mile although, depending on the environment, it can detect up to 2 miles. Turn on the K band filter through the menus to filter out weaker K band frequencies and reduce false readings. • Ka Band: Over the years, the Ka band incorporated the Ka-Band, the Ka Wide-Band, and the Ka Super WideBand. Most photo radars (also known as stop light cameras) use this band. POP™ is a single-pulse Doppler radar feature on some K and Ka band radar guns. This type of radar gun is a very sensitive receiver; limit POP detect mode to highway and rural driving. • Laser: Police use the laser's narrower light pulses for speed detection as it is more accurate and faster. Laser beams are more detectable after they have bounced off their target and begin to disperse on the return trip. MODES The LRD750 operates in two modes: • Highway. Provides audio and visual alerts any time all bands and laser are detected. Recommended for highway or rural driving. (X, K, Ka, Laser) • City. Provides audio and visual alerts any time all bands and laser are detected. Provides a stronger signal so it can pick up weaker transmissions. (K, Ka, Laser) VOICE ANNOUNCE The LRD750 has a voice feature that tells you the unit status as it changes. For example, if the unit picks up K band transmissions, it announces "K band." Turn this feature on and off through the menus. OPERATION After installing your radar detector, you can set it to your own specifications through the keys and the menu. KEYS DETECTION The LRD750 detects emissions from radar guns and sounds an audio alert for the driver. The detector determines which band range the signal is from and displays that frequency type on the display (X, K, Ka, or Laser). The frequency strength (1 thorough 5) also displays in an increasing bar format. False signals can come from other devices such as the automatic doors at a supermarket or even another car's cruise control; these devices operate in the same frequency ranges as radar guns. KEY MUTE DIM PRESS TO... • Turn alert audio off (voice - Mute On) during alert audio. Mute cancelled 10 seconds after alert ends. • In Menus, return to the previous menu option. • Change brightness from BRIGHT to DIM to DARK. Voice announces all changes. • In Menus, toggle the displayed setting.
