Table of Contents

Your K40 RL360i / RL200i will be ready for use following this automatic
wake-up sequence:

1. Start your vehicle – The K40 system is designed to turn on
automatically every time your vehicle is started.

2. Listen for Wake-Up Sequence – Both front and rear alert lights
in your dash will flash (K40 RL200i systems have one alert light).
The voice will announce, “K40 Scan, Active,” then you will hear
alerts for all bands.

NOTE: If you don’t hear wake-up sequence, press and release .

3. GPS Connection – After locating available satellites, the unit will
announce, “GPS Connected.”

NOTE: If you are in a location that prevents connection with GPS
satellites (e.g. parking garage), your system will still protect you from
all radar / laser threats. Once you drive to an unobstructed location,
the GPS will connect and you will hear, “GPS Connected.”

Wake-Up Sequence

(using factory default settings)

5

The K40 RL360i / RL200i provides a combination of audio and visual
alerts to warn you when radar is detected.

Radar Alert Sequence

Your K40 RL360i / RL200i detects all North American police radar
bands (X, K, and Ka-Band). When a signal is detected:

• A voice alerts which band was identified. (This assumes the factory

default “Voice On” setting has not been changed.)

• The K40 RL360i will announce the direction of the signal’s source,

either front or rear, along with the band detected. K40 RL200i
systems will only announce the band detected.

• Signal strength and proximity to the radar source will be identified

as a series of Geiger counter-like tones. The faster the tone pattern,
the closer you are to the source. Each band has its own distinctive
tone.

Laser Alert Sequence

(only for K40 RL360i / RL200i systems that include the Laser Defuser g5)

When the K40 RL360i / RL200i detects a laser signal:

• A voice announces, “Laser.” (This assumes the factory default

“Voice On” setting has not been changed.)

• You will then hear a distinct and urgent audio tone.

• LED(s) will pulse rapidly.

Receiving Alerts

6

Laser Settings

The Laser Defuser g5 can be configured to one of three different
operational settings:

Constant Upon receiving a laser signal,
Transmit the Laser Defuser g5 will

continuously transmit a jam­ming signal for the duration
of the laser encounter. This is
the factory default setting.

Pulse Upon receiving a laser signal,
Transmit the Laser Defuser g5 will

transmit a jamming signal for
10 seconds and then cease
firing for the duration of that
encounter.

Receive Only The Laser Defuser g5 will only

detect laser. No jamming

signal will be emitted.

•For aggressive drivers at higher speeds.

•Gives the driver more time to decelerate.

•Higher potential for jamming all the

way to the laser gun location.

•For moderate to aggressive drivers.

•Gives the driver the time to check and

reduce speed to avoid a speeding
ticket while allowing the police officer
to obtain a lower speed reading, elimi­nating suspicion of “jamming.”

•For notification only. Officer will obtain a

speed reading on your vehicle in this
setting.

Alerts from Non-Police Signals

Your K40 RL360i / RL200i is sensitive enough to detect signals gen­erated by non-police equipment, such as automatic doors. To learn
how to minimize these signals, please read about FILTER options
(page 7), Quiet Ride function (page 8), and Mark to Mute (page 9).

K-Band Filter

Your RL360i / RL200i rejects alerts from vehicles on the road (includ­ing your own) equipped with radar-based safety features, such as
collision avoidance. Police radar reception and detection range is
unaffected by this feature.

Traffic Sensor Filter

Your RL360i / RL200i will reject alerts from traffic flow sensors usu­ally encountered during highway driving. Enable this filter through
the menu (pages 11-13).
