Your RadioShack Real Voice X•K•Ka Superwide Radar/Laser
Detector can alert you to all known police traffic radar and
laser systems. It receives X-, K-, and Ka-band radar signals
and also detects both the instant-on and laser systems many
police departments u se to measure vehicle speed. Plus, your
detector can give you advance warning of potential road hazards by detecting signals from transmitters that broadcast
Safety Warning System alerts.
Your detector has many useful features, including:
Real Voice Audible Alerts
watch the road ahead.
— keep you informed while you
X-, K-, Ka-Band, and Laser Signal Detection
— warns you
when it detects signals from traffic radar or laser devices. Different tones sound to let you know the type of signal received.
Stay Alert
— tests your awareness behind the wheel by
sounding beeps and asking if you are alert.
Safety Warning System Detection
— alerts you to the presence of potential road hazards and emergency vehicles signalled by a Safety W arning System transmission.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING GUIDELINES
Follow these guidelines when selecting a location.
• Choose a location that does not block the driver’s view of
the road.
• Mount the detector in a level position with a clear view to
both the front and rear.
• The detector’s view of the road must not be blocked by any
metal object.
• Some vehicles have InstaClear
windshields, which have metal coatings that block signals.
General Motor’s APV vans have a solar shield that keeps
the vehicle cooler during the summer, but also blocks signals. A detector installed in a vehicle with any of these features will probably not detect a signal.
• Since window tinting reduces the received strength of laser
signals, you should not mount the detector behind any
tinted glass.
• Do not mount the detector where the driver or a passenger
might hit it in a sudden stop or accident.
or ElectriClear defogging
Caution:
detector out of view when you leave the vehicle. This keeps
the detector out of sight of thieves and prevents exposing it to
extremely high temperatures, which can temporarily impair
performance.

Whichever mounting method you choose, place the
HOOK-AND-LOOP TAPE MOUNTING
For some dashboards, the hook-and-loop tape included with
your detector might be best for mounting. F ollow these steps to
use the hook-and-loop tape.
1. Use a damp cloth to clean the bottom of the detector and
the dashboard. Let both surfaces dry.
The tape’s adhesive might not stick to a surface
Note:
treated with vinyl cleaner or protectant.
2. Remove the tape’s backing and stick the tape to the bottom
of the detector.
Do not place the hook-and-loop tape over the detec-
