RMR-D240 Advanced Micro Technology Design / 360 Degree Safety / Radar Laser Detector 1. Introduction 2. Control and Features Dear Rocky Mountain Radar Owner, Congratulations on your purchase of one of the world’s most sophisticated radar/laser detectors. The RMR-D240 is a completely integrated radar/laser detector which responds not only to all the radar guns in use today, including “Stalker”, but also to the other latest development in speed monitoring devices- the laser gun. 1) Included with your Radar Detector This model provides distinct visual and audible alerts to warn you of the presence of X, K, and all kinds of Ka Band radar guns in the front and rear of you. This model also provides the benefit of ‘undetectability’ by alerting you to the presence of VG-2 (‘The Radar Detector detector’). 2) Controls and Functions a. Power On/Off and Volume Control b. Dim Button c. Mute Button d. City Button e. DC 12V Power Input Jack RMR-D240 Windshield Bracket with Suction Cups It also incorporates a new safety feature - Safety Alert(SA) and Safety Warning System(SWS). This safety feature warns you of the presence of potential road hazards by detecting signals from safety radar transmitting devices. f. Radar Antenna g. Front Laser Detection Lens h. Rear Laser Detection Lens Receives incoming laser signals from rear i. Power-On Indicator Note : Important : The RMR-D240 is not designed to help you disobey the law. A defensive driver always obeys the posted speed limit and legal driving methods. j. X Band Indicator k. K/Ka Band Indicator Hook and Loop Fastener Tape Power Cord Federal and Local Regulations l. City Indicator m. Signal Strength Meter Indicators The FCC passed the Communications Act in 1934 to give all citizens the right to receive all types of radio transmissions. The same radio frequencies used by police radar are also used by other devices, such as automatic door openers, burglar alarms, and some amateur radio equipment. Since the RMR-D240 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. Owner’s Manual ROCKY MOUNTAIN RADAR n. VG-2 Indicator Spare Fuse 3. Installation 4. Operation 1) Mounting Guidelines For the best performance, select the proper location for the unit where it has a direct view of the road. The radar antenna is located behind the rear panel of the unit and the laser detection lenses are located behind the rear panel of the unit and the front window. The antenna and sensors should not be obstructed by metal or metallic surfaces and should be pointed at the horizon for accurate long range detection. Choose a location that does not block the driver’s vision. Mount the detector in a level position. Do not mount the detector behind metal surfaces, windshield antenna, wiper blades, ornaments, or mirrored glass. Heated windshields, currently available as an option on some Ford (Instaclear) or GM(electriclear) vehicles act as an impenetrable barrier to radar signals. Do not mount the detector where the driver or passenger might collide in the case of an abrupt halt. N o t e : Whichever mounting method you choose, remember to place the radar detector out of view when you leave your vehicle. This keeps the detector out of sight from thieves and prevents exposure to extremely high temperatures. N o t e : If necessary, you may adjust the bracket to the proper angle by bending it. To remove your detector, pull up the detector from the front pulling it towards you. Caution : On some newer model cars, a plastic safety coating has been applied to the windshield. The suction cups may leave permanent marks on the windshield once they are removed. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if your car has the plastic safety coating.

Bend bracket for correct detection angle. c. Plug Power cord into detector. The coiled power cord provided with the unit has a cigarette lighter socket plug at one end and a small connector on the other. 1. Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the unit. 2. Insert the other end into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle. If the detector does not operate when you turn it on, remove the adapter from the cigarette lighter socket and carefully check the socket for debris. Also, check the fuse in the adapter and your vehicle fuse box. d. Attach bracket to detector. e. Plug power cord into cigarette lighter. 4) Replacing Fuse a. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug. Turn on and adjust volume. Note : Turning on the detector will trigger the Self-Test mode. 2) Dim Mode B. On Dashboard a. Peel protective paper off one side of hook-loop. b. Tape on detector s bottom. b. Remove and check the fuse to see if it has blown, If it has, replace it. c. Peel top paper off. d. Place detector on dashboard. Press Dim Button. An audible warning sound will alert you that Dim mode has been activated. Each time you press Dim button, display intensity will change dim, dark, bright. e. Plug power cord into detector and cigarette lighter. 4. Operation ACCESSORIES 3) City / Highway Mode c.
