LED DISPLAY
When a signal is detected, the display will show the band
type, City/Highway setting, and signal strength. If the
LRD450 detects a laser, the display shows L.
You can remove the unit as needed.
Once the detector is installed and the car is turned on, turn
the volume dial away from you until it clicks. The unit is
now turned on.
The LCD cycles through the display in this order: X - K - Ka Laser, then signal strength 1- 5 except for Laser (L).
Once the cycle is complete, the detector turns to standby
mode.

Install the LRD450 on the front windshield or on the
dashboard. For best performance, position the detector as
low as possible in the center of the front windshield. Be
sure the unit’s view of the road, either to the front or the
back, is clear.

The LRD450 recognizes:
• X Band: This band was the first frequency band assigned
to police radar. It operated on a lower frequency
(10.525GHz) with a higher power output.
• K Band: This band is the most common frequency used
in radar detectors (24.150). Its relatively small
wavelength gives it a clocking distance of about 1/4 mile
although, depending on the environment, it can detect
up to 2 miles. Turn on the K band filter (press and hold
CITY) to filter out weaker K band frequencies and reduce
false readings.
• Ka Band: Over the years, the Ka band incorporated the
Ka-Band, the Ka Wide-Band, and the Ka Super WideBand. Most photo radars (also known as stop light
cameras) use this band.
POP™ is a single-pulse Doppler radar feature on some
K and Ka band radar guns. This type of radar gun is
a very sensiive receiver; limit POP detect mode to
highway and rural driving.
• Laser: Police use the laser’s narrower light pulses for
speed detection as it is more accurate and faster. Laser
beams are more detectable after they have bounced off
their target and begin to disperse on the return trip.
MODES
The LRD450 operates in three modes:
• Highway. Provides audio and visual alerts any time all
bands and laser are detected. Recommended for
highway or rural driving. (X, K, Ka Laser)
• City. Provides audio and visual alerts any time all bands
and laser are detected. Provides a stronger signal for the
X band so it can pick up weaker signals. (X, K, Ka, Laser)
• City I. Similar to City mode, but no X band is detected.

The LRD450 detects emissions from radar guns and sounds
an audio alert for the driver. The detector determines
which band range the signal is from and displays that
frequency type on the display (X, K, Ka, or L). The frequency
strength (1 thorough 5) also displays as applicable. If there
is a specific alert code, that is also displayed.
False signals can come from other devices such as the
automaic doors at a supermarket or even another
car’s cruise control; these devices operate in the
same frequency ranges as radar guns.

MUTE to set Auto Mute to ON to reduce the audio
alarm by 50% automatically after 3 seconds during an

• Dim. Change the brightness of the display. (Default Bright)
• Set City, City I, or Highway
– City mode delays all X band audio alerts until the
signal is at level 3.
– City I mode does not recognize X band

– Highway mode recognizes all bands and is
recommended for highway driving. (Default)

MONITORING SPEED
A radar gun transmits radio waves at certain frequencies
that bounce off objects and return to the radar gun’s
receivers. The radar gun then calculates the speed of the
object. The LRD450 recognizes the following bands/
frequencies used by radar guns:
BAND
FREQUENCY
10.525 GHz
24.150 GHz
Ka
33.400 - 36.000 GHz
Laser
800 nm - 1100 nm

Radar detectors are illegal in some states. Law enforcement
officers use special equipment to detect signals radiated by
radar detectors. If they are in a state where radar detectors
are illegal and the officer detects a vehicle using a radar
detector, the operator of that vehicle could lose the radar
detector and be fined.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use common sense and your LRD450 will provide troublefree service. Please keep the following tips in mind:
• Don’t leave your unit on the dashboard during summer
months. Interior heat may exceed safe operating levels.
• Do not spray cleaners or other liquids on the unit.
Remove the unit when you are using these liquids.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers on the unit’s exterior.
