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 or ElectriClear defogging

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 sig-

nals. A detector installed in a vehicle with any of these fea-

tures 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.

Caution:

Whichever mounting method you choose, place the

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.

HOOK-AND-LOOP TAPE MOUNTING

For some dashboards, the hook-and-loop tape included with

your detector might be best for mounting. Follow 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.

Note:

The tape’s adhesive might not stick to a surface

treated with vinyl cleaner or protectant.

2. Remove the backing from one side of the tape and stick

the tape to the bottom of the detector.

Note:

Do not place the hook-and-loop tape over the

detector’s serial number.

WINDSHIELD MOUNTING

The supplied suction-cup windshield bracket lets you easily

mount the detector on the windshield.

Caution:

Do not use the bracket in a vehicle that has a plastic

coating on the windshield designed to protect passengers dur-

ing an accident. If you use the bracket on this type of wind-

shield, you might permanently mar the windshield’s surface.

1. Align the groove in each suction

cup with the slots in the wind-

illus of suction cup

shield bracket and slide the suc-

installation in

tion cups out until they lock into

place.

CONNECTING POWER

Caution:

•

Use only the supplied power cord. If your power cord is lost

or damaged, you can order a replacement cord from your

local RadioShack store.

•

Before plugging the power cord’s cigarette-lighter plug into

your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket, make sure the plug’s

tip is screwed firmly onto the plug. See “Replacing the

Fuse” on Page 27 for more information about the cigarette-

lighter plug.

•

Unplug the power cord’s cigarette-lighter plug from your

vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket when you turn off the igni-

tion. This prevents your vehicle’s battery from being drained

if you leave the detector on when you turn off the ignition.

Plug the supplied power cord’s barrel plug into the detector’s

power jack. Then plug the cord’s cigarette-lighter plug into

your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

Note:

If the detector does not operate when you turn it on,

remove the cigarette-lighter plug from your vehicle’s socket

and check the socket for ashes and other debris. Also check

the fuse in the cigarette-lighter plug and your vehicle’s fuse

block (see “Replacing the Fuse” on Page 27).

can press MUTE to temporarily silence the detector for the cur-

rent alert and any new alert that it receives within 20 seconds.

Visual alerts are not affected.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

USING AUTO QUIET

Auto Quiet reduces the selected audio level to a minimum

level about 5 seconds after it detects a radar signal. The audio

alert sounds at the minimum level for any new signal received

within 20 seconds. VG-2 or laser alerts are not affected.

To turn on Auto Quiet, press MUTE when the detector is not

sounding an alert. The detector beeps once and briefly dis-

plays A, then returns to Hor C.

To turn off Auto Quiet, press MUTE when the detector is not

sounding an alert. The detector beeps twice

SELECTING THE CITY AND HIGHWAY

MODES

Your detector’s City mode is designed to reduce annoying

false alerts triggered by automatic door openers, intrusion

alarms, and other devices that share frequencies with police

radar.

Note:

City mode has no effect on laser or VG-2 operation.

To select the City mode, press CITY once. The detector beeps

once and displays C. If the detector receives a weak speed/

safety radar signal in City mode, it beeps twice, then remains

quiet unless the signal becomes very strong. If the signal

strength increases, the detector again beeps twice.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

To cancel the City mode, press CITY a second time. The detec-

tor beeps twice and displays H. The highway mode provides

maximum alert response for open-road driving.

SETTING THE VG-2 OPTION

VG-2 is a system used by some law enforcement agencies to

detect the use of radar detectors in vehicles. The VG-2 system

detects the weak radio signals used in radar detectors. Your

radar detector can sense a VG-2 system and shift its operating

frequencies out of the range detected by VG-2, making your

radar detector essentially invisible to this system.

To turn on the VG-2 option, hold down MUTE for 2 seconds.

Press CITY to engage or cancel. –appears when the detection

mode is engaged. Press PWR to exit.

Notes:

•

Your detector does not detect speed radar when VG-2 has

been detected.

To use the VG-2 option, you must turn it on each time you

turn the detector on.

RECEIVING AND IDENTIFYING ALERT

SIGNALS

Your detector gives different audible and visual alerts for each

signal. In addition, the alert tone pulse rate increases with sig-

nal strength and the detector displays a digit from 1 to 9 to

indicate the signal strength (1 is weakest and 9 is strongest).

When your detector senses instant-on radar, it sounds an

intense, 3-second tone and displays P.

Safety Radar Alerts

Your radar detector detects all safety radar including the new

Safety Warning System. This system provides advanced

warning of hazards and lets you respond appropriately to

potentially dangerous conditions.

Note:

Not all areas have Safety Warning System transmitters.

Your radar detector only alerts you to hazards if the area you

are in has transmitters sending signals.

When your radar detector encounters safety radar, it sounds a

distinctive tone and displays the signal strength. In addition,

your radar detector displays S.

Laser Audio/Visual Alerts

When your radar detector detects a laser signal from ahead or

behind, the laser audio sounds and the radar detector displays

L for as long as the signal is present (for a minimum of 3 sec-

onds).

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Any laser alert, regardless of duration, requires immediate

action! If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often

determine your speed within seconds after you receive an

alert. However, if you are traveling near or behind the targeted

vehicle and receive an alert, you should have time to respond.

RESETTING THE DETECTOR

The detector keeps the audio level, city/highway mode, mute

mode, auto quiet mode, VG-2 option, and on or off setting in

memory when power is removed. When you reapply power, it

returns to these same settings.

To reset the detector to its factory default settings, unplug the

detector’s power cord from the cigarette-lighter socket, hold

down PWR and MUTE, plug in the power cord, wait for the

detector to beep twice, then release PWR and MUTE. The

detector turns off the auto quiet and VG-2 options, returns to

the highway mode, and sets the volume to its maximum level.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

1. Plug the supplied DC power cord’s barrel plug into the

Safety Light’s D.C. 12V jack, located on the side of the

Safety Light between the red flasher and the fluorescent

lamp.

Caution:

The supplied DC power cord supplies at least

12 volts and delivers at least 600 mA, and has a center

positive plug that properly fits the Safety Light’s D.C. 12V

jack. Using a power cord that does not meet these specifi-

cations could damage the Safety Light or the power cord.

2. Unplug your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter and plug the large

end of the DC power cord into the cigarette-lighter socket.

INSTALLING/REPLACING BATTERIES

You can power the Safety Light using six C batteries (not sup-

plied). We recommend alkaline batteries, such as Cat. No. 23-

551.

You can also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries, such

as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-124, but you must charge them for

10 hours before using them (see “Charging Rechargeable Bat-

teries” on Page 20).

Cautions:

•

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recom-

mended type.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

•

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries

(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable bat-

teries of different capacities.

If you use alkaline batteries, do not set the Safety Light’s

bottom switch to the bottom (charging) position with the DC

power cord connected.

Follow these steps to install batteries in the Safety Light.

1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the

arrow marked on it and carefully lift it open.

2. Insert six C batteries into the compartment as indicated by

the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.

When the lights dim, recharge or replace the batteries.

Cautions:

•

If you do not plan to use the Safety Light for a week or

more, remove the batteries. Always remove old or weak

batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy

electronic parts.

•

Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn

or bury them.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

•

At the end of a nickel-cadmium battery’s useful life, it must

be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local,

county, or state hazardous waste management authorities

for information on recycling or disposal programs in your

area. Some options that might be available are: municipal

curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your

local RadioShack store, recycling collection centers, and

mail-back programs.

CHARGING RECHARGEABLE

BATTERIES

You can charge rechargeable batteries inside the safety light

using vehicle battery power (using the supplied DC power

cord) or standard AC power (using an optional AC adapter,

such as Cat. No. 273-1653). It takes about 10 hours to fully

charge the batteries. You can use the Safety Light while charg-

ing it, but this increases the charging time to about 20 hours.

Warning:

Do not connect a power cord to the Safety Light’s

D.C. 12V jack if you installed non-rechargeable batteries (stan-

dard, extra-life, or alkaline). Non-rechargeable batteries

become hot and can even explode if you try to recharge them.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

Caution:

The supplied DC power cord supplies at least 12

volts and delivers at least 600 mA, and has a center positive

plug that properly fits the Safety Light’s D.C. 12V jack. Using a

power cord that does not meet these specifications could dam-

age the Safety Light or the power cord.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have problems operating your radar/laser detector, the

suggestions in this section might help. If you cannot solve the

problem after trying these suggestions, take your detector to

your local RadioShack store for assistance.

If the detector does not turn on:

•

Be sure all power connections are secure.

Check the fuse that controls power to the cigarette-lighter

socket. See your vehicle’s owner’s manual.

•

Check the fuse in the cigarette-lighter plug. See “Replacing

the Fuse” on Page 27.

The cigarette-lighter socket might be dirty. Clean it to give a

good, clean connection.

Caution:

Do not place any metal object other than the

cigarette lighter or a cigarette-lighter plug in the cigarette-

lighter socket. Doing so could blow 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 in the road:

•

Check the power connections.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

If the detector gives a false alert when you use accesso-

ries such as power windows, motorized mirrors, brakes,

and so on:

•

Check the vehicle’s electrical system, including the main

battery cable and alternator connections.

•

Install a filter capacitor (1,000 µf, 35 volts, such as Cat. No.

272-1032) on the back of the cigarette-lighter socket,

across the power connections.

If the detector performs the power on self-test (see “Turn-

ing the Detector On and Off” on Page 11), but does not

respond to radar signals when you see a police car:

•

A police car might not be equipped with radar, or might be

using instant-on radar and not have the radar gun triggered

(see the separate booklet Questions and Answers About

Vehicle Speed Detection).

•

Police might be using VASCAR-type speed detection (see

the separate booklet Questions and Answers About Vehicle

Speed Detection).

If the detector has poor laser detection range:

•

Be sure the laser detection lenses are not blocked.

Use lens-cleaning solution to clean the laser detection

lenses and the windshield.
