RADAR LASER DETECTOR Owner’s Manual Features and Standard Accessory e. FRONT LASER RECEIVER/ TOP LASER RECEIVER Laser lens to detect laser signals f. RADAR RECEIVER Receives the radar signals emitted by traffic radars INSTALLING THE UNIT For the best performance, select the proper location for the unit where it has a direct view of the road. The antenna and lens 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. • tor in a level position. • Do not mount the detector behind metal surfaces, windshield antennas, wiper blades, ornaments or mirrored glass. • Do not mount the detector where the driver or passenger may be injured in case of an abrupt stop. g.

The RadarHAWK™ SE is also designed to operate on most DC12V negative ground vehicle electrical systems. The power cord provided with the detector has a cigarette light socket plug at one end and a small connector at the other. 2) WINDSHIELD MOUNTING a. Install the suction cups onto the bracket by fitting them into their holes. b. Attach the bracket to windshield. c. Attach the detector to the bracket. d. Bend bracket for correct detection angle (if necessary). Do not use the detector to bend bracket. e. Plug the DC12V power cord into the detector and plug the power cord into the cigarette lighter socket. • Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the detector. • 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. 1) FASTENER TAPE MOUNTING ON DASHBOARD 4) REPLACING FUSE a. Use a damp cloth to thoroughly clean both the bottom of the detector and the dashboard. b. Peel of the tape's paper backing and apply the tape to the bottom of the detector. c. Remove the paper backing from the other side of the tape and press the detector onto the dashboard. If the detector stops operating, the fuse in the plug might be blown. If it has blown, unscrew the top of the plug to remove the fuse and replace it with a new one. 3) POWER CONNECTION a. The RadarHAWK™ SE is specially designed to operate on two AA NiMH rechargeable batteries. To ensure maximum performance, we advise that you do not use other battery typrs. OPERATION Operation 1) POWER AND VOLUME CONTROL 4) MUTE To turn on the detector, connect power/insert battery and rotate the wheel controller(located on the side of the detector) until you hear it click. To turn off the detector, rotate the wheel controller in the opposite direction until it clicks again. You can also use the controller to adjust the volume level by turning it up or down within the range that it does not click. Press the MUTE button for less than three seconds to toggle between MUTE ON and MUTE OFF. Mute can be used when you manually turn the audio alert off. 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. 2) SELF-TEST & FEATURE MEMORY 5) AUTO AUDIO CONTROL When powered up, the detector performs self-test. Auto Audio Control will have the detector report with reduced audio alarms for continuously detected alerts. When a signal is constantly reported for more than 10 seconds, the detector will gradually reduce the audio level in the following 10 seconds. The reduced audio level will continue for new alerts detected within 60 seconds from the previous alert. • AY or CITY • • TONE • TION It will automatically remember the above user settings when the unit is turned off or removed from the power. All the features selected are retained in memory. 3) BRIGHTNESS CONTROL Press DIM button to toggle between 3 different 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 display returns to your setting following the alert. The factory default mode is Bright. Operation 13) CHARGING THE BATTERIES When the power is supplied from 12-volt DC power cord, the two AA NiMH rechargeable batteries will be charged and the battery indicator LED will turn ON to show that the batteries are charging. Within 2.5 hours, the batteries will be fully charged and battery indicator LED will automatically turn off. 14) AUTO POWER-OFF AT BATTERY MODE In the event that you forget to turn off the RadarHAWK™ SE when you leave your vehicle, it has an automatic power-off feature to conserve battery life. The RadarHAWK™ SE will automatically shut off when no signals are detected for approximately 60 minutes. An obtrusive audio and visual warning will confirm that the auto power-off is about to happen. You can cancel auto power-off by pressing any button while the audio and visual warning is being displayed. strength LEDs (2, 3, 4) shows Band On or Off status. Turn on the LED to select the band. • - Press DIM button to turn on or off . The false-alerts are often caused in urban areas by automatic door openers, air traffic 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. Operation • - Press MUTE button to turn on or off. z) • - Press CITY button to turn on or off. There are two selectable alert tones. To change the tone sound, press MUTE for three seconds. The unit will change the tone sound. 12) DEMO MODE Press and hold both the MUTE and CITY buttons, then the detector will demonstrate how it operates when each radar and laser signal is detected. X band signal detected operation The factory default is all bands on. 8) SIGNAL STRENGTH METER The numbered LEDs are called signal strength meter when they are displayed together with a radar band LED to indicate the strength of a detected signal. The higher number, the stronger the signal. P C X K Ka 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 Police laser devices transmit an invisible light beam at wavelength of 904 nanometers. All numbered LEDs will start blinking when a laser signal is detected. The 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. 10 11 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. TROUBLESHOOTING 1) If the detector does not turn on a. Check the power cord or battery. Be sure all power connectors are 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 fine emery 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 cigarette lighter or a cigarette lighter plug in the cigarette lighter socket. a. Check the vehicle's electrical system, including the main battery cable and alternator connections. b. Install a filter capacitor (470uF. 25volts) on the back of the cigarette lighter socket, across the power connections. 3) If the receiving signals are weak 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 Ka band signal detected operation P C X K Ka 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 Laser signal detected operation 2 3 4 16 P C X K Ka 2 3 4 It automatically exits after five seconds from the all-LED on status.
