To turn o the detector, rotate the wheel controller in the opposite direction until it clicks again. You can also use thecontroller to adjust the volume level by turning it up or down withinthe range that it does not click.2) SELF-TEST & FEATURE MEMORYWhen powered up, the detector performs self-test.AY or CITYRTONETION3) BRIGHTNESS CONTROL Press DIM button to toggle between 3 dierent brightness levels.The brightness options are: Bright, Dim and Dimmer.When a signal is detected, alerts are always displayed in Bright,regardless of the brightness level you have selected. The displayreturns to your setting following the alert. The factory default mode is Bright.13) CHARGING THE BATTERIESWhen the power is supplied from 12-volt DC power cord, the twoAA NiMH rechargeable batteries will be charged and the batteryindicator LED will turn ON to show that the batteries are charging.Within 2.5 hours, the batteries will be fully charged and batteryindicator LED will automatically turn o.14) AUTO POWER-OFF AT BATTERY MODE15) BATTERY LIFE1) If the detector does not turn ona. Check the power cord or battery. Be sure all power connectorsare properly installed.b. Check the fuse that controls power to the cigarette lighter socket. See your vehicles owner's manual.c. The cigarette lighter socket might be dirty. Clean it with neemery cloth to ensure a good and clean connection.d. Vehicle electrical problem exists.e. Make sure that the volume control is in the ON position.Caution: Do not place any metal object other than the cigarettelighter or a cigarette lighter plug in the cigarette lighter socket.2) If the detector gives a false alert when the vehicle hits bumpsa. Check the vehicle's electrical system, including the main batterycable and alternator connections.b. Install a lter capacitor (470uF. 25volts) on the back of the cigarette lighter socket, across the power connections.3) If the receiving signals are weaka. Check the angle of detector.b. Point detector to the horizon.c. Radar antenna / laser lens is obstructed.d. Relocate the detector.RADARLASERGENERAL*Specications are typical. Individual units might vary. Specications are subject to change without notice.4) MUTE5) AUTO AUDIO CONTROLAuto Audio Control will have the detector report with reducedaudio alarms for continuously detected alerts. When a signal isconstantly reported for more than 10 seconds, the detector willgradually reduce the audio level in the following 10 seconds. The reduced audio level will continue for new alerts detected within 60seconds from the previous alert.6) HIGHWAY AND CITY MODE7) BAND SELECTIONstrength LEDs (2, 3, 4) shows Band On or O status. Turn on the LEDto select the band.z)Press DIM button to turn on or o .z)Press MUTE button to turn on or o.Press CITY button to turn on or o.The factory default is all bands on.8) SIGNAL STRENGTH METERThe numbered LEDs are called signal strength meter when they aredisplayed together with a radar band LED to indicate the strengthof a detected signal. The higher number, the stronger the signal.9) LASER DETECTIONPolice laser devices transmit an invisible light beam at wavelength of 904 nanometers. All numbered LEDs will start blinking when a laser signal is detected.10) VG-2 UNDETECTABLE11) SELECTABLE TONEThere are two selectable alert tones. To change the tone sound,press MUTE for three seconds. The unit will change the tone sound.12) DEMO MODEX band signal detected operationK band signal detected operationKu band signal detected operation Ka band signal detected operationLaser signal detecAll LEDs onted operationIt automatically exits after ve seconds from the all-LED on status.Or press any button to exit the all-LED on status, which is theend of DEMO mode.

Mute can be used when you manually turn the audio alert o. Mute ON will be automatically reset to Mute OFF when you turn the detector o?. Mute ON does not remain in the detector's memory. The factory default mode is Mute OFF.The false-alerts are often caused in urban areas by automatic door openers, air trac control systems, alarm systems and more. The City mode reduces the detector's sensitivity and eliminates responses to false sources. Highway mode provides maximum sensitivity for open road driving where there are no false signals.There is a band selection feature for two X bands and the Ku band. The K and Ka bands are always "on" to detect. Hold down DIM and CITY button for three seconds to enter band selection mode. SignalThe VG-2 is a "radar detector detector" device used by police to detect signals radiated by a radar detector. The RadarHAWK™ SE does not produce emissions detectable by VG-2 radar detector sensing devices.Your RadarHAWK™ SE is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you to handle your detector in a proper way.Never leave the detector on the windshield 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 make you less susceptible to break-in and theft, you should remove the detector from your windshield when you leave your vehicle.Do not expose the detector to moisture. Rain dew, road splash, or other liquids that can damage the internal components and reduce sensitivity of the detector.The RadarHAWK™ SE can provide approximately 30~40 hours of rechargeable battery life. RadarHAWK™ SE has a separate low battery indication LED. It intermittently blinks with warning alarms from the moment when there is approximately two to four hours of battery life remaining.In the event that you forget to turn o the RadarHAWK™ SE when you leave your vehicle, it has an automatic power-o feature to conserve battery life. The RadarHAWK™ SE will automatically shut o when no signals are detected for approximately 60 minutes. An obtrusive audio and visual warning will conrm that the auto power-o is about to happen. You can cancel auto power-o by pressing any button while the audio and visual warning is being displayed.It will automatically remember the above user settings when the unit is turned o or removed from the power. All the features selected are retained in memory.This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
