enKo products RADAR-LASER DETECTOR Operating Instructions MODEL : CCT278 Thank you for purchasing enKo products radar laser detector. The CCT278 model incorporates the advanced new radar antenna technology and extremely low power-consuming circuitry to ensure top class performance. It is a complete integrated laser and radar detector, which responds not only to X, K and Ka band radar guns in use today, but also the laser guns. The CCT278 provides distinct visual and audio alerts to warn you of the presence of X, K, Ka band and laser signals for 360° round. You can drive with confidence when you bring along the CCT278 PACKAGE CONTENTS CCT278 package includes the following components.  CCT278 radar and laser detector  Coiled 12-volt DC power cord and fuse  Windshield mounting bracket with suction cups  Dashboard mounting hook and loop fasteners  Operation manual

Highway Icon ‘H’ lights to indicate Highway mode is selected. 12. City Icon ‘C’ lights to indicate City mode is selected. 13. X Band Icon ‘X’ lights and blinks to indicate the presence of X band radar signal. The blink rate increases as the radar source gets closer. 14. K Band Icon ‘K’ lights and blinks to indicate the presence of K band radar signal. The blink rate increases as the radar source gets closer. 15. Ka Band Icon ‘Ka’ lights and blinks to indicate the presenc e of Ka band radar signal. The blink rate increases as the radar source gets closer. 16. Laser Signal Icon ‘L’ lights and blinks to indicate the pres ence of laser signal. 17. Signal Strength Meter Icon ‘2 3 4’ indicates the strength level of present radar INSTALLING THE UNIT Mounting Guidelines For the best performance, select the proper location for the detector where it has a direct view of the road. Remember the radar antenna and laser sensor are located behind the rear panel of the unit. 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 the metal surfaces and ornaments mirrored sunscreen. Tinted windows reduce the received laser signal strength. Do not mount the detector behind tinted glass. Do not mount the detector where the driver or passenger might hit in a sudden stop or accident. НСХККа L2 3 411 12 1 3 1 4 15 1 6 1 7
Mounting Type There are two ways of installation Hook and Loop Mounting The hook and loop tape included with your detector might be the best mounting method for some dashboards. Follow these instructions to use the hook and loop tape to mount the unit on the dashboard. 1. Use a damp cloth to thoroughly clean the dashboard. 2. Peel off the paper backing of the tape and apply the tape to the bottom of the detector 3. Remove the paper backing from the other side of the tape and press the detector onto the dashboard. Windshield Mounting The supplied windshield bracket and suc tion cups l et y ou q uickly m ount the detector on your vehicle’s windshield. Follow these steps to use mounting bracket kit. 1. Install the suction cups onto the bracket by fitting them into their holes. 2. Attach the bracket to windshield. 3. Attach the detector to the bracket. 4. Bend bracket for correct detection angle. 5. Plug power cord DC12V into detector. 6. Plug power cord into cigarette lighter. Cautions: Some new models of cars have a plastic safety coating which is applied to the windshield. The suction cups may leave permanent marks on the wind shield once they are re moved. Check vehicle owner’s manual to s ee if your car has the plastic safety coating. Connecting the Power The CCT278 detector is designed to op erate on most DC 12V neg ative ground vehicle ele ctrical sy stems. The power cord provided with the detector has a cigarette lighter socket plug at one end and a small connector at the other. 1. Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the detector. 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's fuse box. Replacing the Fuse If the detecto r stops operating, the fuse in the cigarette lighter plug m ight be blown. If it has blown, follow these steps to replace it: 1. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug. 2. Remove the fuse and check the fuse to see if it has blown. If it has, replace it. OPERATION 1) Power On & Volume Control Rotate the Power and Volume control wheel clockwise to turn the Power on/off. This wheel can adjust volume up/down also by moving back and forth. 2) Memory It will auto matically remember your last settings when the unit is turned off or removed from the power. All features selected are retained in the memory except for MUTE. Each time when power turns on, MUTE OFF will be set. 3) Display Brightness Control (Dim mode) Dim mode r educes the il lumination of the display. Press the DIM button repeatedly to tog gle between four leve ls of bri ghtness modes: Bright - Dim - Dimmer – Dark
4) Highway & City mode Selection Press the CITY button to toggle between Highway and City modes. X-band occupied by police radar is also shared for other uses, such as automatic door openers like t he o nes used at supe rmarkets, bur glar alarms, terrestrial microwave emission, RF braking s ystems, and other devices. In addition, other radar detectors in close proximity may falsely alert your detector. To reduce false alerts, the CCT278 detector has different highwa y and city m odes. Highway modes provide full imme diate response to all signals detect ed. City m odes minimize unwanted false alar ms in an urban environment. When City mode is selected, “C” icon of the display will turn on and when Highway mode is selected, “H” icon of the display will turn on. - Highway 1 : “H” icon on - Highway 2 : ”H” and “2” icons on - City 1 : “C” icon on - City 2 : “C” and “2” icons on – Maximum filtering against urban false signal sources. NOTE: X band is not detected at Highway 2 and City2 modes. Some towns and small cities may still be using X band radar. 5) Tutorial mode The CCT278 detector has a tutorial mode intended t o familiarize you with the various visual display s and distinct audi ble alerts tha t the unit performs. Pres s and hold the DIM button s for 3 seconds to begi n the tutorial mode. It will demonstrate how it operates when each radar and laser band signal is detected. The numbers of “2”, “3”, “4” at display are called signal strength m eters when they are used to indicate how strong a signal bein g detected is. As a signal strength meter they are display ed t ogether with a radar band (X, K, Ka). The higher the number, the stronger the radar signals. 6) Mute on/off Selection (Mute mode) Press the M UTE button repeatedly to toggle between mute on and mute of f modes. Mute on will silence the audio al arm for the rem ainder o f an existing signal and for any new alert received. 7) Receiving and Identifying Radar Distinctive audible alarms will be em itted for X, K and Ka band r adar signals. The alarm sounds will occur faster and faster as the signal gets stronger (as y ou get closer to the source). When the sig nal gets very strong, t he alarm sounds become continuous tones. 8) VG-2 Undetectable The VG-2, also known as a “radar detector detector”, is a special receiver used by police to detect signals radiated by a radar detector. The CCT278 detector is not detected by VG-2 device. CARE AND MAINTENANCE The CCT278 detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you to handle your detector in a proper way so you can enjoy it for years. Never leave the detector on the dashboard when you park your vehicle. The temperature in the vehicle in summer can reach levels above what is considered to be safe for this detector. To m ake y ou less susceptible to break-in and theft, re move the detector from your dashboard when you leave your vehicle. Do not expose the detector to m oisture. Rain dew, road splash, or other liquids can damage the internal components and reduce sensitivity of the detector.
