FEATURE DETAILS
HIGHWAY VS CITY MODE
Uniden’s R1 radar detector operates in three different frequency (X, K, and Ka
band) sensitivity modes - Highway, City, and Advanced. Highway mode is the most
sensitive, with maximum detection ranges while on the highway or open road.
City is on the lower end of the detection scale for city driving. City mode reduces
sensitivity so that false signals (such as from automatic door openers) are filtered
out.
Under factory default conditions (X band = off on all bands, K and Ka bands = on),
the band sensitivities are:
• Highway: X band off; K and Ka band full sensitivity.
• City: X band off and K band sensitivity reduced; Ka band full sensitivity.
• Advanced: Adjust the sensitivity level for each band as follows:
Turn X band on in the menus with K and Ka bands still on (default); the band
sensitivities are:
• Highway: X, K, and Ka band full sensitivity.
• City: X and K band sensitivity reduced; Ka band full sensitivity.
If a band is turned off through the menus, it is off in all modes.
Press

on the front of the unit to alternate between Highway, City, and
POP MODE
In POP mode, the R1 can detect short burst from radars that are too fast for many
other detectors to catch. You can turn POP mode on and off for the K and Ka bands.
DARK MODE
Turn on Dark Mode through the menus to keep the screen dark except when a
button is pressed or an alarm goes off. The screen is dark except for a small blinking
dot that moves from left to right on the display. You can set the screen brightness
through the menus for when alarms go off or buttons are pressed.

THREAT
The R1 detects up to 4 radar band signals (threats) at a single time. The strongest
rader signal is designated as the Priority threat, and its frequency displays on the
OLED. The other three threats (signals) are indicated in the left side of the display. In
the following example, 2 K band, 1 X band, and 1 Ka band threats are detected.
K 24.120 GHz
The Priority menu setting determines which type of frequency displays on the OLED
(see page 12). If Priority is set to Signal priority, the strongest signal displays on
the OLED. If Priority is set to Ka Priority, the Ka band radar signal displays on the
OLED.
AUTO MUTE
When the R1 detects an X, K, or Ka signal, it sounds an alarm at the current volume
level. To make the alarm quieter, turn on Auto Mute. This will reduce the volume to
the level set ( 0 - 5) in the Auto Mute Volume menu (see page 13).
If the current volume level is 0, the R1 will not change the volume to the Auto

on.

• A different band signal is detected during that 10 second period; then, Auto Mute
turns off and then back on at the current volume level.
Auto Mute does not apply to Laser Alert.
BOGEY TONES
Bogey tones sound if a different Ka band signal is detected during a Ka band alert.
Set the tones in the Menus.
MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING THE EQUIPMENT
The R1 requires very little physical maintenance. Wipe it with a soft cloth to keep
dust from accumulating. Check the power cord connections to keep them clean and
free of corrosion.
UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
Uniden recommends that you update your R1’s firmware periodically. Go to www.
support.uniden.com, find your model, and check if you have the latest firmware.
Follow the instructions on the website to update your firmware if you need to. Reset
to factory defaults through the Menus after the new firmeware is installed.
