Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-D210 User Manual

1. Introduction

Dear Rocky Mountain Radar Owner,

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the world’s most sophisticated
radar/laser detectors. The RMR-D210 is a completely integrated radar/laser
detector which responds not only to all the radar guns in use today, including
“Stalker”, but also to the other latest development in speed monitoring devices­the laser gun.

This model provides distinct visual and audible alerts to warn you of the
presence of X, K, and all kinds of Ka Band radar guns in the front and
rear of you. This model also provides the benefit of ‘undetectability’ by
alerting you to the presence of VG-2 (‘The Radar Detector detector’).

It also incorporates a new safety feature - Safety Alert(SA) and Safety
Warning System(SWS).

This safety feature warns you of the presence of
potential road hazards by detecting signals from safety radar
transmitting devices.

Note :

Important : The RMR-D210 is not designed to help you disobey the
law. A defensive driver always obeys the posted speed limit and legal
driving methods.

Federal and Local Regulations

The FCC passed the Communications Act in 1934 to give all citizens
the right to receive all types of radio transmissions. The same radio
frequencies used by police radar are also used by other devices, such
as automatic door openers, burglar alarms, and some amateur radio
equipment. Since the RMR-D210 is just a radio receiver tuned to a
specific portion of the public radio spectrum, it is protected under this
act.

Some local, state, and federal regulations may prohibit the use of this
detection device. Please check with authorities regarding the use of
this device before operating it.

3. Installation

1) Mounting Guidelines

For the best performance, select the proper location for the unit
where it has a direct view of the road. The radar antenna is located
behind the rear panel of the unit and the laser detection lenses are
located behind the rear panel of the unit and the front window. The
antenna and sensors should not be obstructed by metal or metallic
surfaces and should be pointed at the horizon for accurate long
range detection.

·Choose a location that does not block the driver’s vision.

·Mount the detector in a level position.

·Do not mount the detector behind metal surfaces, windshield

antenna, wiper blades, ornaments, or mirrored glass.

·Heated windshields, currently available as an option on some Ford
(Instaclear) or GM(electriclear) vehicles act as an impenetrable
barrier to radar signals.

·Do not mount the detector where the driver or passenger might
collide in the case of an abrupt halt.

Note : Whichever mounting method you choose, remember to

place the radar detector out of view when you leave your
vehicle.
This keeps the detector out of sight from thieves and
prevents exposure to extremely high temperatures.

Note : If necessary, you may adjust the bracket to the proper angle

by bending it. To remove your detector, pull up the detector
from the front pulling it towards you.

Caution : On some newer model cars, a plastic safety coating has

been applied to the windshield. The suction cups may leave
permanent marks on the windshield once they are removed.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if your car has
the plastic safety coating.

2) Mounting Types

A. On Windshield
a. Attach bracket to windshield.

b. Bend bracket for correct detection angle.
c. Plug Power cord into detector.
d. Attach bracket to detector.
e. Plug power cord into cigarette lighter.

B. On Dashboard
a. Peel protective paper off one

side of hook-loop.

b. Tape on detector’s bottom.

c. Peel top paper off.
d. Place detector on dashboard.

e. Plug power cord into detector and cigarette lighter.

3) Power Connection

The coiled power cord provided with the unit has a cigarette lighter

socket plug at one end and a small connector on the other.

1. Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the unit.

2. Insert the other end into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle.
If the detector does not operate when you turn it on, remove the
adapter from the cigarette lighter socket and carefully check the
socket for debris. Also, check the fuse in the adapter and your
vehicle fuse box.

4) Replacing Fuse

a. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug.

b. Remove and check the fuse to see if it has blown, If it has, replace it.

4. Operation

1) Power and Volume Control

Turn on and adjust volume.
Note : Turning on the detector will trigger the Self-Test mode.

2) Dim Mode

· Press Dim Button.
→ An audible warning sound will alert you that Dim mode

has been activated.
Each time you press Dim button, display intensity will
change dim, dark, bright.

5. Care and Maintenance

Your Rocky Mountain radar detector is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship.

The following suggestions will help you care for your detector
so you can enjoy it for years.

·Never leave your detector on the windshield or dashboard
when your vehicle is left parked. The temperature in the
vehicle durning the summer can reach levels above what is
considered to be safe for this detector.

·To make you less susceptible to break-in and theft, remove
the detector from your windshield or dashboard when leaving
your vehicle.

·Do not expose the detector to moisture, rain, dew, road
splash, or other liquids that can damage the internal
components and reduce the sensitivity of the detector.

6. Troubleshooting

If the detector does not turn on:

·Check the power cord. Be sure all power connectors are properly
installed.

·Check the fuse that controls the power to the cigarette lighter
socket.(See your vehicle’s owner’s manual for reference.)

·The cigarette lighter socket might be dirty. Clean it with a fine
emery cloth to ensure a good, clean connection.

·There might be a problem with the vehicle’s electricity.

·Make sure that the volume control is in the ON position.

Caution : Do not place any metal objects other than the cigarette

lighter or a cigarette lighter plug in the cigarette lighter
socket. Doing so could blows a fuse in your vehicle or
cause the metal object to become very hot.

If the detector gives a false alert when the vehicle hits bumps:

·Check the vehicle’s electrical system, including main battery cable
and alternator connections.

·Install a filter capacitor (470㎌, 35volts) on the back of the cigarette
lighter socket, across the power connection.
If the receiving signal is weak:

·Check the angle of the detector. (Place it on the point of horizon.)

·Radar antenna/laser sensor is obstructed.

(Relocate the detector clear of any obstruction outside the
windshield, such as a wiper blade.)

·Relocate the detector clear of the window tint.
