Mounting and Powering the R S2
Mounting Instructions
To help ensure that your R S2 functions properly and
offers maximum protection, please follow these mounting
instructions:
1. Clean the area of the windshield where the R S2 will
be mounted.*
2. Attach the supplied Windshield Mounting Bracket to
your vehicle’s windshield by firmly pressing the suction
cups and the bracket to the windshield.
a. Mount the bracket as low as possible near
the center of the windshield.
b. Do not mount the R S2 behind wipers or any
metal obstructions.
c. Slide the R S2 unit onto the bracket until it clicks
to complete the mounting.
d. The bracket may need to be leveled by carefully
bending it once the R S2 is mounted.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: Some windshields include a metallic coating that can
significantly affect eception of ada signals. Consult with you deale o
check you vehicle’s owne ‘s manual to dete mine if you windshield has
such a coating.
Power Connection
1. Plug the small end of the supplied Power Cord into the
Power Input Jack on the left side of the R S2.
2. Plug the large end of the Power Cord into your vehicle’s
12V outlet.
3. Switch on the R S2 by rotating the Power On / Volume
Control Wheel located on the left side of the unit.
No power? See Troubleshooting Guide on page 16.

Wake-Up Sequence
(using facto y default settings)
Once your K40 R S2 has been mounted and had the power
connected, you may begin use immediately by following
these steps:
1. Switch on the R S2 – Rotate the Power On / Volume
Control Wheel on the left side of the unit.
2. isten for Wake-Up Sequence – The R S2 will an-
nounce (voice) and display (screen) K40 SCAN then go
through a “wake-up sequence” lasting approximately 5
seconds.
a. You will hear and see all bands report.
b. Upon completion of the “wake-up sequence,” the
screen will display Highway (Filter setting).
c. After locating available satellites, the R S2 will
announce, “GPS Connected,” then display GPS .
3. You’re ready to drive! – The R S2 will now display your
Filter setting, direction of travel, and speed. For example,
if you are driving West at 57 mph / kph and the Filter is on
the Highway setting, the display will show:
H W 57

Receiving Alerts
The K40 R S2 provides a combination of audio and visual
alerts to warn you when radar and laser signals are detected.
Radar Alert equence
The R S2 detects all North American police radar signals
(X, K, and Ka-Band). When a signal is identified:
•A voice alerts which band was detected. (This assumes the
factory default “Voice On” setting has not been changed.)
•A series of beeps indicates the strength of the signal. Each
band has its own distinctive beep.
•The display will provide you band and strength information.
Radar Alert Examples:
You are driving 45 mph and a weak K-Band signal is
detected:
Visual Alert: K 2 45
Audio Alert: Voice announces, “K-Band,” followed
by slow beeps.
As you approach the source, you slow to 40 mph and
the signal becomes stronger:
Visual Alert: K 8 40
Audio Alert: Beeping is faster due to stronger signal.
Radar source strength: weak medium strong
Display reading: 123 456 789
Audio alert beeps: slowly rapidly
6
Laser Alert equence
When the R S2 detects a laser signal:
•A voice alert announces, “ aser.” (This assumes the factory
default “Voice On” setting has not been changed.)
•You will then hear a distinctive audio tone.
•Display indicates laser has been detected and reports
your speed.
•NOTE: Unlike radar, signal strength from laser remains
constant.
Laser Alert Example:
You are driving 55 mph and laser is detected:
Visual Alert: Lase 55
Audio Alert: Voice announces, “ aser,” followed by
distinctive audio tone.
Alerts from Non-Police ignals
Your R S2 is sensitive enough to detect signals generated
by non-police equipment, such as automatic doors. To learn
how to deal with these signals, please read about FI TER
options (page 8) and Quiet Ride (page 9).
K-Band Filter
Your R S2 rejects alerts from vehicles on the road (including
your own) equipped with radar-based safety features, such
as collision avoidance. Police radar reception and detection
range is unaffected by this feature.
