FEATURES
Your Radio Shack X•K•Ka Superwide Radar/Laser
Detector can alert you to all known police traffic radar
and laser systems. It receives all X-, K-, and Ka-band
traffic radar signals and also detects both the instant-on
and laser systems many police departments now use to
measure vehicle speed.
Your detector has FAST (False Alert Suppression Tech-
nology) circuitry that helps prevent false alarms caused
by signals from other radar detectors, without reducing
your detector’s sensitivity to traffic radar signals.
Note: Some areas have laws regulating the use of
radar detectors. Check with your local law enforcement
agency about the laws in your area.
For your records, we urge you to record your detector’s
serial number in the space below. The serial number is
located on the detector’s bottom panel.

Your detector has many useful features, including:
VG-2 Protection—makes your detector invisible to the
VG-2 radar-detector detector by sensing VG-2 and
shutting down until you are out of range.
Front- and Rear-Looking Laser—detects laser sig-
nals from both the front and the rear of your vehicle.
Road Hazard Alert—alerts you to the presence of
potential road hazards and emergency vehicles sig-
nalled by a safety radar transmission.
X-, K-, Ka-Band, and Laser Signal Detection—warns
you when it detects signals from traffic radar or laser
devices. Different tones sound to let you know the type
of signal received.
City/Highway Modes—let you reduce unwanted X-
band alerts without affecting the detector’s response to
other signals while you are in the city.
Your radar/laser detector includes the following items:
• Visor Bracket • Hook and Loop Fastener
• Power Cord with Plug • Spare Fuse
• Windshield Bracket
with Suction Cups • Owner’s Manual

A LOOK AT THE DETECTOR
1P/V
Button—turns the detector on and off and lets
you adjust the volume.
2Power Indicator—lights when you connect the
detector to power and turn it on.
3City Indicator—lights when the detector is in the
city mode.
4Visual Laser Indicator—lights when the detector
detects a traffic laser signal.
5Visual Radar Indicator—lights when the detector
detects a traffic radar signal.

6Signal Meter—four high-intensity indicators light
in sequence as the radar signal strength increases,
or flash in a pattern when laser is detected.
7 AUD (Audio) Button—replaces the normal alert
sound with a muted click. Also, lets you silence
alerts.
8CTY
(CITY/HIGHWAY) Button—switches between
the city and highway modes.
9Power Jack—the power cable plugs in here.
10 Laser Detection Lenses—receives incoming
laser signals from both the front and rear.

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.
• Since signals are blocked by metal surfaces, the
detector’s view of the road must not be blocked.
• 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. This shield also blocks signals. A detector
installed in a vehicle with any of these features 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 pas-
senger 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 vehi-
cle. 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 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 detec-
tor and the dashboard. Let both surfaces dry.
Note: The tape’s adhesive might not stick to a sur-
face treated with vinyl cleaner or protectant.
2. Remove the tape’s backing 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.
On a curved dashboard, cut the supplied strip in half
and use one strip on each side of the bottom of the
detector.
3. Remove the backing from the other side of the tape
and press the detector onto the dashboard.

VISOR MOUNTING
The supplied sun visor clip lets you quickly mount the
detector on your vehicle’s sun visor.
Warning: Do not mount the detector on a visor if this
places the detector near the driver’s or a passenger’s
head.
Follow these steps to use the sun visor clip.
1. Remove the detector’s cover by pressing on the
raised dots and pushing outward. Store the cover in
a safe place.
2. Slide the visor clip onto the top of the detector until it
snaps into place.
3. Clip the detector to the edge of the sun visor near-
est the windshield.

WINDSHIELD MOUNTING
The supplied suction-cup mount lets you easily mount
the detector on the windshield.
Caution: Do not use the suction-cup mount in a vehicle
that has a plastic coating on the windshield designed to
protect passengers during an accident. If you use the
suction-cup mount on this type of windshield, you might
permanently mar the windshield’s surface.
1. Remove the detector’s cover by pressing on the
raised dots and pushing outward. Store the cover in
a safe place.
2. Align the groove in each suction cup with the slots in
the windshield mount assembly and slide the suc-
tion cups out until they lock into place.

3. Clean the selected windshield area, position the
suction-cup mount on the windshield, and press
firmly on each suction cup to secure it into place.
4. Use a screwdriver or small coin to adjust the suc-
tion-cup mount until the base plate is level.
5. Slide the radar detector onto the base plate until it
snaps into place.
