INTRODUCTION

Dear Rocky Mountain Radar Owner,

Congratulations on your purchase of this sophisticated remote
radar and laser detector with remote radar and laser scrambling.
The Rocky Mountain Radar remote is a completely integrated
modular radar and laser detector that responds not only to all the
radar guns in use today, but also to the other latest development
in speed monitoring devices – the laser guns. The RMR-8RDS
scrambling modules are full featured radar and laser scramblers
combining the highest technological advances in a remote
modular package.

The RMR-8RDS provides distinct visual and voice alerts to
warn you of the presence of X, K, and Ka Band radar guns
towards the front and rear of the vehicle. This remote also
provides the benefit of being undetectable to VG2 and VG3.

It incorporates a new safety feature Safety Alert (SA) and
Safety Warning System (SWS). This safety feature warns you
of the presence of potential emergency vehicles and road
hazards by detecting signals from safety radar transmitting
devices.

INSTALLATION

Complete, sign, and mail Ticket Rebate Registration card.
NOTE: It is very important that the power on the Control
Panel is not on while you plug and unplug the modules.

Front Antenna

It is very important that the front antenna is mounted properly.
Determine the best location for the front antenna. The optimal
location for mounting the front antenna depends on the

vehicle’s type. In most vehicles the best mounting location is

directly behind the grill through the slot openings. It should
have a clear view of the road ahead. Other locations that
provide concealment and/or protection of the antenna may be
acceptable.
Using the supplied mounting bracket, mark location and drill
pilot holes in the vehicle if necessary.
Fit the mounting bracket using the washer screws.
Verify the lens of the front antenna has a clear view of the road
ahead.
You can use the included Dual Lock tape to attach the mounting
bracket. Thoroughly clean any surface before the tape is
applied.

Front Scrambler

It is very important that the scrambler is mounted properly. The
scrambler scrambles the radar and laser signals received from
the front and detect laser signals.

Determine the best location for the scrambler. For optimum
performance, install the scrambler on either side of the front
license plate on the bumper or in the front grill area.

Using the built in mounting bracket, mark location and drill
pilot holes in the vehicle if necessary.

Thoroughly investigate the location before drilling any holes.

Keep all cables away from moving parts and hot surfaces
(Radiator, hoses, engine, etc.)

Make certain that the modules are level and have a clear view of
the road ahead.

Rear Scrambler

The rear scrambler detects and scrambles the laser signals
received from the rear and scrambles all radar.

Determine the best location for the rear scrambler. For optimum
performance, install the rear scrambler on either side of the rear
license plate or above third brake light on the rear deck.

Control Module

Determine the best location for the control module in the
vehicles interior.

Install the control module using the supplied Velcro tape.

The scrambler cable from the front plugs into “AUX” jack on

the Control module.

The scrambler from the rear goes into the rear jack on the
Control module.

NOTE: Verify the Control module is clearly visible from the
drivers position and that the controls can be easily accessed
without interfering with normal driving.

NOTE: It is very important that the power on the Control
