If the LRD750 detects a laser, the display shows LASER.INSTALLATION AND TURN UPInstall the LRD750 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. INSTALLATIONWINDSHIELD1. Clean the windshield and the rubber cups of the mounting bracket. Attach the rubber cups to the bracket.2. Push the bracket firmly onto the windshield.3. Slide the unit onto the bracket. 4. Gently adjust the bracket angle if needed.5. Plug the power cord into the detector.6.

Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.TURN UPOnce the detector is installed and the car is turned on, turn the Power/Volume dial away from you until it clicks. The unit is now turned on.The unit cycles through the display in this order: X - K - Ka - Laser, then signal strength except for Laser (L). Voice announces each band.Once the cycle is complete, the detector turns to standby mode.DETECTIONThe LRD750 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 Laser). The frequency strength (1 thorough 5) also displays in an increasing bar format. BANDSThe LRD750 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 through the menus 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 Wide-Band. Most photo radars (also known as stop light cameras) use this band.• 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.MODESThe LRD750 operates in two 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 so it can pick up weaker transmissions. (K, Ka, Laser)VOICE ANNOUNCEThe LRD750 has a voice feature that tells you the unit status as it changes. For example, if the unit picks up K band transmissions, it announces “K band.” Turn this feature on and off through the menus.OPERATIONAfter installing your radar detector, you can set it to your own specifications through the keys and the menu.

The radar gun then calculates the speed of the object. The LRD750 recognizes the following bands/frequencies used by radar guns:BAND FREQUENCYX10.525 GHzK 24.150 GHzKa 33.400 - 36.000 GHzLaser 800 nm - 1100 nmRADAR DETECTOR DETECTORS (RDDS)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. The LRD750 is designed to be invisible to signals from the Spectre l, Spectre lV, and VG-2 RDDs. CARE AND MAINTENANCEUse common sense and your LRD750 will provide trouble-free 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.TROUBLESHOOTINGIF... TRY THIS...No display or audio. Check the fuse in the plug. Replace if necessary.The unit alarms when the vehicle hits bumps.Check the connections. Be sure they are all secure.The unit alarms briefly in the same location but no radar source was in view.There may be a motion sensor or house alarm in use within range.The detector did not alert when a police car was in view.• The officer may not have radar/laser units turned on.• Check that the band are turned on. Press MENU.
