USER’S MANUAL

R3

R3 OVERVIEW

Uniden's R3 is a top of the line Radar Detector with a built-in GPS feature. With the R3, you can mark
geographical points where you commonly encounter radar transmissions. These can be school zones, red-light
cameras, and places where police frequently monitor traffic. You can mark these points so the detector will
announce “User mark ahead” when you approach them. Among other announcements, the Voice Notification
feature lets you know when you are approaching a radar and what type of radar it is (red light, speed, etc).

FEATURES

• Super Long Range Laser Radar Detection

• Voice Notifications

• Radar band frequency displays

• GPS for Red Light and Speed camera locations

• Easy to read OLED display

• User Mark set and voice notification

• Advanced K and Ka band filters

• Spectre I and IV undetectable

INSTALL AND TURN ON R3

You can mount the R3 on the windshield (1- and 2- cup suction brackets included) or on the dashboard (hook
and loop tape included).

INSTALL/POWER ON

Windshield

When you mount the R3 on the windshield, mount it in the middle of the windshield between the driver and
passenger. Be sure there are no obstructions and that there is a clear view through the windshield.

1. Attach the rubber suction cups to the bracket and push the cups firmly onto the windshield.

2. Slide the unit onto the bracket until it clicks into place.

3. Plug the power cord RJ11 connector into the R3 and plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the vehicle’s
cigarette lighter.

4. When the vehicle turns on, the R3 automatically turns on and runs through a self test cycle.

Release the R3 from the bracket by pressing the Eject key on top of the detector.

Dashboard

The same types of mounting requirements for the windshield apply for mounting the unit on the dashboard.

1. Attach the unit to the dashboard using the hook and loop fastener tape.

Be careful not to cover any air vent holes with the hook and fastener tape.

2. Plug the power cord RJ11 connector into the R3 and plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the vehicle’s
cigarette lighter.

3. When the vehicle turns on, the R3 automatically turns on and runs through a self test cycle.

Pull the unit from the dashboard, separating the hook and loop tape.
