Solar battery is aimed to support the built-in battery, and only the solar cell can not charge the built-in battery after RadarHAWK™ SM gives battery alert. Plug the provided cigarette cable to charge the built-in battery if RadarHAWK™ SM gives battery alert. Solar battery can charge built-in battery even under power OFF. Stand-by time of detector with full-charged battery is approximately 19 hours, but running time depends on the detection/warning condition. APS Button BAND Button CITY Button High/low temperature can effect on the charging time. Warning Light : 2pcs (left and right) Solar battery cannot charge adequate electricity under rainy/cloudy weather, during nighttime, in a basement park, under sunshade, and etc. where give inadequate sunlight. P/X Alert LED Solar battery shall be exposed to sunlight in its whole area, or cannot charge adequate electricity.

A volume controller at the right of the unit. Three function buttons on the top of the unit: APS/SENS : APS on/off (on-1beep, off-2beep by short press), default APS on Press SENS to set APS sensitivity BAND : X band (9.900GHz/10.525GHz) on/off(on-1 beep, off-2 beep), default BAND on CITY : City/Highway(City-1beep, Highway-2beep), default HIGHWAY APS/SENS BAND/TEST Test mode to demonstrate operations Mounts on windshield and dashboard Operates on the battery or a 12V power adapter Rechargeable by solar cell X Band ON/OFF Built in rechargeable battery (NIMH AAA2/3 400mA@3.6V) Warning LED 2pcs : Lamp type LED, Blue color / left and right side PW/X : chip LED, dual color(Green/Red) - APS on mode : Green blinking - APS off mode : Red blinking - X band Alert : Green on K : Red color Ku : Green color Ka : Yellow color Laser : Red color Main features Detects all radar/laser bands Undetectable by VG-2 360 degree laser coverage LED display Highway/City mode (Detection sensitivity selection) Auto mute function Auto Dim (LED brightness) APS (Auto Power Save) on/off APO (Auto Power Off) Low battery alert Retains memory on previously set operation modes after power off P/X Basic function If there is not a detected vibration signal for 5sec, The sound is muted and LED brightness is reduced to 50% when there is a detected radar/laser signal at that time. Press the APS button repeatedly each time to toggle the APS ON or APS OFF mode. The factory default is the APS ON mode. The APS ON mode starts with 1 beep and APS OFF mode starts with 2 beeps. When the unit operates in the APS ON mode – [P/X] LED is blinking with green color, but If there is not a detected vibration signal for 5sec, [P/X] LED is blinking with red color. When the unit operates in the APS OFF mode, [P/X] LED is always blinking with red color. APS function should be operated both in the +12V LINE MODE and BATTERY MODE. Ku Ka Slide the power switch forward the display to turn the unit on. When powered on, the unit will beep and illuminate (blinking) all the indicators. After preamble the unit will start flashing the power indicator. Low battery alert The low battery alert will appear for 5sec when the battery voltage is low level. This will repeat every 10 minutes until no battery power remains and the radar detector shuts off. Sensitivity adjustment There is a piezo vibration sensor function added to the circuit. The sensitivity control operation is as follows; “PW/X” LED will blink to alert low battery. Other LEDs are all off during alert. Factory 1. Sensor Sensitivity: High - Middle – Low (3 steps) default is MIDDLE (for low-vibration sedan car) 2. Press and hold APS button for three (3) seconds to enter sensor sensitivity control mode (1 beep). 3. Select HIGH or MIDDLE or LOW using the APS button (short press), then press and hold APS button again for three (3) seconds to store and exit this mode. 4. You can select the mode with the warning lamp LED (blue) display as follows. Note : We suggest keeping the power cord readily WARNING WARNING available. If your batteries are drained, the cord will allow you to continue using your radar detector until you recharge the batteries. 10 Auto mute and Auto DIM control TEST mode The unit alert with reduced audio alarms and with reduced LED brightness for continuously detected signals. When an alert is constantly reported for radar/laser signal, the unit will automatically reduce the audio sound level and the LED brightness Press and hold the BAND button for longer than 3 seconds and the unit will demonstrate how it operates when radar and laser signals are detected. The unit will displays every visual alert message with the corresponding unique audio tone for its own. After the tutorial sequence is all done the screen will stay at the all-indicator-on status for 5 seconds and gets back to the stand-by mode. AUTOMUTE - Detected 3 level signal (strong signal strength) : Audio sound level will reduce after 10sec. - Detected 1~2 level signal (low~middle signal strength) : Audio sound level will reduce after 30sec. AUTODIM - Detected 3 level signal(strong signal strength) : LED brightness will reduce after 5sec. - Detected 1~2 level signal(low~middle signal strength): LED brightness will reduce after 10sec. Sensitivity control (City/Highway mode) Press the CITY button repeatedly each time to toggle the “CITY” or “HIGHWAY” mode. The factory default is the HIGHWAY mode. CITY mode starts with 1 beep and the HIGHWAY with 2 beeps. Mode X/Ku Band K /Ka Band Highway Full sensitivity Full sensitivity City Reduce 20% Reduce 10% 14 APS (Automatic Power Save) Slide the power switch forward the display to turn the unit on. If the unit has low battery status, Plug the adapter of the power cord (12V DC) into the lighter in your vehicle and the pin at the other side of the power cord into the power jack of the unit. Start & Preamble LED Display CITY/HIWAY Power connection Ku Ka LASER 11 APO (Automatic Power Off) To conserve battery power, the unit will automatically shut off when there is not a detected vibration signal for 3minute, - APO function operates both APS on and off mode. - APO function should be operated under alerting. - APO function should be operated both in the +12V LINE MODE and BATTERY MODE. To conserve battery power, MCU operate into Idle mode when the unit is shut off. If there is a detected vibration signal, the unit will turn on to resume the detection. Memory retention The unit keeps some of the operation modes in its memory even after the unit is powered off, so that the unit can reboot the same user settings when it’s turned on again. They are; - APS on/off mode - BAND on/off mode - City/Highway mode - Sensitivity adjustment (High/Middle/Low) Volume control Rotate the volume controller at the front anti-clockwise to increase the audio level and clockwise to decrease. The maximum audio level must be 85 +/- 5dB when measured at the distance of 10cm from the buzzer. 12 13 7 Understanding Radar Detector 8 Troubleshooting 9 Specification RadarHAWK™ SM detects radar signals by buzzer alert and indicator while driving. The buzzer alert and indicator warning lighting change in accordance with increasing/decreasing of the radar signals. Confirm the following points if any problem found; Band and Frequencies Frequency of radar/laser signals X band : Ku band: K band : Super wide Ka band : Laser : 9.900GHz, 10.525 GHz 13.450GHz 24.125 GHz, 24.150GHz 33.400~36.000GHz. 905nm BAND ON/OFF Press BAND button to off (or on) X band (9.900GHz/10.525GHz).
