detector. Align the edge on the bracket with the slot
opening on the front of the case. Slide the bracket
into the case until it locks into place.
2) Place the windshield bracket in the upper center
portion of the windshield. The ideal position will be
right below the rear view mirror. Then press firmly
to seat suction cups. Note: Tinted glass will degrade
the laser performance.
3) Bend the windshield bracket mount to a level
position.
4) The RMR-C430 will hang from the bottom of the
bracket and must have an unobstructed view of the
road ahead.
5) Insert the small end of the power cord gently into
the power jack on the right side of the unit and the
large end into the cigarette lighter receptacle.
Remote mounting is not recommended.
Hard wire: Remove cigarette lighter plug. Connect
the black with white stripe wire to +12 Volts, and
then connect the solid black wire to ground.

Dim: Press the Dim button for one second to dim
the alarm lights. There are 3 levels of brightness.

again.
Mute: Press the Mute button for one second to
disable the alarm speaker for quiet operation. To
reactivate the alarm speaker press the Mute button
again for one second.

Alarms: A separate alert tone will sound for each
band of Radar encountered with a different colored
light, (Ka-Amber), (K-Yellow), (X-Green)
illuminated. Tone frequency will increase as signal
strength becomes stronger. (Fig. A)
All alarm lights will flash when Laser is detected.
(Fig. B)
Signal Strength: Signal Strength will be first
indicated by the illumination of the LED of the band
detected, then the three red LED’s. When all three
are illuminated the signal is strongest. (Fig C)
VG-2: VG-2 detection is indicated with a separate
alarm along with the green power light blinking.
(Fig. D)
Diagnostics: The RMR-C430 has a full internal
automatic diagnostic system. If the power light goes
off and remains off, check the 2-amp fuse in the
power cord by unscrewing the silver tip and
removing the fuse. If the fuse is good (wire inside the
fuse unbroken), return the unit for service.

Interchangeable Color Bezel Panels:
The RMR-C430 model has optional removable color

slots on unit and press down. Panel should click and

your unit. (Fig A)
Selectable VG-2:
To activate VG-2 detection turn the unit on. After
the self-test has completed, press and hold the
Mute button down for 3~5 seconds until the unit
beeps three times. VG-2 detection is now
activated. To deactivate press and hold the Mute
button for 3~5 seconds until the unit buzzes once.
VG-2 is now off.
Auto Memory: The RMR-C430 has an automatic
memory. Any settings enabled when the unit is

back on. If you have set the unit on Mute or have
