INTRODUCTION

TO YOUR NEW LASER/RADAR DETECTOR

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/radar detection. You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar detectors available. The LRD 767 / LRD 777 is a completely integrated laser/radar detector. It responds to the X, K, and Ka-SuperWideband radar guns in use today and also provides 360 detection of the latest speed monitoring system — the laser gun. The built-in Safety Warning System (SWS™) is capable of detecting a hazardous warning signal transmitted on the K-band.

The LRD 767 / LRD 777 provides distinct visual and audio alerts to warn you of the presence of X, K, and Ka-SuperWideband radar signals as well as IR laser signals and Safety Warning System. You can drive with confidence when you bring along the LRD 767 / LRD 777.

The LRD 767 / LRD 777 employs Super Stalker Technology (SST), a state-of-the-art electronic system designed to make this radar detector invisible to all current VG-2 radar detector detectors.

The LRD 767/LRD 777 will also warn you of VG-2 use.

The LRD 767 / LRD 777 includes electromagnetic compass sensors to its circuitry and enables you to stay on course with this digital navigator.

We are certain that you will enjoy the LRD 767 / LRD 777, and to ensure that you get the most from its features, please read this Reference Guide carefully before installing and operating the unit.

DETECTIONSPEED

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR NEW LASER/RADAR DETECTOR

SPEED DETECTION SYSTEMS

A speed detection device (often called a radar gun) sends out either a microwave signal or beam of light. When this signal reaches its target, part of the signal is reflected or bounced back toward the emitting gun. The time required for the signal to leave the gun, bounce off an object, and return is used to determine a vehicle’s distance and speed.

RADAR

Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a microwave system for detecting the speed of moving objects by reflected pulses of high frequency radio waves. There are three radar bands (microwave frequencies): X band (10.49 to 10.56GHz), K band (24.04 to 24.26GHz), and the “superwide” Ka band (33.4 GHz to 36 GHz).

The X band was the first used for traffic, followed by the K band which is harder to detect (most instant-on radar is K band). The Ka band was introduced in 1987, and widened to Ka SuperWideband in 1990 by the FCC. The LRD 767/LRD 777 monitors all current radar bands including the entire Ka SuperWideband.

The radar beam is cone shaped — the narrower the beam, the greater the resolution. A moving vehicle reflects radar signals back towards the radar gun. The LRD 767/LRD 777can detect the signals emitted by radar guns, and it will sound an audio alarm and flash a warning indicator. For continuously transmitting radar, use the LRD 767/LRD 777 to get accurate detection from a safe distance. Weak signals cause the audio and visual alarms to sound intermittently, but as the signal gets stronger (the closer you get to the radar gun), both alarms increase in intensity.

Instant-on transmitters fire a short radar pulse beam at a vehicle and instantly read its speed. When detected at a distance, you will hear a few beeps and see the strength meter begin to light.

Instant-On radar signals are the most difficult to detect at a safe distance because they are transmitted only when directed at you or at a vehicle directly ahead of you.

4

To be safe, do not ignore any warnings. Although there are other types of radar signals that may cause interference, when the

LRD 767/LRD 777 detects a signal, be on the alert. It is important to exercise caution at all times.

LASER

The Laser Speed Detection System, also called LIDAR (for Light

Detection and Ranging), uses a laser gun that emits infrared light pulses just outside the spectrum of visible light. Each reflected pulse measures the speed of the object coming toward or going away from the laser gun.

Unlike radar, the laser gun emits a very narrow beam of light, so it can pinpoint a speeding car within traffic. The infrared beam spreads out, but slowly and over a longer distance than a radar signal.

The laser gun can acquire a speed reading as quickly as 0.3 seconds, sometimes less. However, since it isn’t easy to accurately aim at and hit a moving target, an operator often moves the laser gun in several directions to get a reading. So laser signals

are emitted continuously for a few seconds for each speed measurement.

The LRD 767/LRD 777 can detect these light pulses from as far away as 1.5 miles, which is about four times the effective range of a laser gun (2,000 feet), and about ten times its average operating range (500-800 feet).

CONTROLS

AND FUNCTIONS OF YOUR LASER/RADAR DETECTOR

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

1.Clip Release — Press the clip release button to remove the LRD 767/LRD 777 from the windshield mounting clip.

2.Rear and Side Laser Detector Lense — For rear and side detection of laser signals.

3.Press the city button to help reduce X-band false alarms while driving in the city. When you turn

on the City Mode, the City indicator turns on. While driving on highways, turn off the City Mode for long-range detection.

(LRD 777 will give a voice confirmation.)

4.Press the audio button to activate the Audio Alert Only operation. All the LEDs dim, and the signal

strength meter is disabled.

(LRD 777 will give a voice confirmation.)

5.Press the mute button to activate the Auto Mute

feature, which produces a full alert level when a signal is first received, then automatically reduces to chirps for the rest of the warning. (LRD 777 will give a voice confirmation.)

6.Speaker — Sounds audio alert. There are seven different audio alert tones to distinguish each type of signal received. When you become familiar with all the distinct alert tones, you can operate the LRD 767/LRD 777 just by listening, devoting

your full attention to the traffic in front of you.

7.DC 12V Power Input — Connect the DC power cord here.

8.On-Off/Volume Control — Turns the power on and adjusts the Audio Alert volume.

9.Display Panel —LEDs display laser/radar alerts, signal strength, operation mode, Safety Warning System (SWS) messages,

and eight (8) cardinal directions.

DISPLAY PANEL

Every time you turn on the LRD 767/LRD 777, a self test is performed for all visual and audio alerts. You will hear, in-order, four distinct tones for the X, K, and Ka-SuperWideband radar bands, as well

as for laser, laser L2, VG-2 and SWS.

The display panel indicates the driving direction and each mode of the operational conditions when no signal is engaged.

INSTALLATION

OF YOUR NEW LASER/RADAR DETECTOR

INSTALLATION

The LRD 767/LRD777 uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna and IR laser sensor to receive laser/radar signals. Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of installation and the direction of the antenna/sensor in relation to the signal source. The inherent nature of radar waves makes them reflect off metallic surfaces. This is why these waves are so useful for measuring the speed of a vehicle. The IR laser light may reflect only from shiny surfaces. Both radar waves and IR laser light will, however, pass through plastic or glass.

Before you decide where to put your radar detector, please keep in mind these two important factors:

For safety, do not mount the LRD 767/LRD 777 in a location where it will obstruct your driving vision.

Most vehicles have the top part of the windshield tinted. Mounting the LRD 767/LRD 777 behind tinted or mirrored glass may reduce the effectiveness of laser detection by reducing the amount of laser light received by the dectector.
