Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/radar
detection. You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar
detectors available. The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS is a complete
integrated laser/radar detector. It responds to the X-, K-, and
Ka-SuperWideband radar guns in use today and also provides 360°
detection of the latest speed monitoring system — the laser gun. The
built-in Safety Warning System (SWS™) is capable of detecting a
hazardous warning signal transmitted on the K-band.
The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS provides distinct visual and audio
alerts to warn you of the presence of X-, K-, and Ka-SuperWideband
radar signals as well as IR laser signals. You can drive with confidence
when you bring along the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS.
The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS employs Super Stalker Technology
(SST), a state-of-the-art electronic system designed to make this radar
detector invisible to all current VG-2 radar detector detectors. The
LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS also uses the new D.R.O. (Dielectric
Resonant Oscillator) and E.D.I.T. (Electronic Data Interference
Terminator) circuitry, giving more reliable performance.
We are certain that you will enjoy the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS,
and to ensure that you get the most from its features, please read this
Operating Guide carefully before installing and operating the unit.

Page 2: Speed Detection Systems
Speed Detection Systems A speed detection device (often called a radar gun) sends out either a microwave signal or beam of light. When this signal reaches its target, part of the signal is reflected or bounced back toward the emitting gun. The time required for the signal to leave the gun, bounce off an object, and return is used to determine a vehicle’s distance and speed. -
Page 3: Laser
Laser The Laser Speed Detection System, also called LIDAR (for Light Detection and Ranging), uses a laser gun that emits infrared light pulses just outside the spectrum of visible light. Each reflected pulse measures the speed of the object coming toward or going away from the laser gun. Unlike radar, the laser gun emits a very narrow beam of light, so it can pinpoint a speeding car within traffic. -

Page 8: Installation
Both radar waves and IR laser light will, however, pass through plastic or glass. Before you decide where to put your radar detector, please keep in mind these two important factors: For safety, do not mount the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS in a location where it will obstruct your driving vision. -
Page 9: Adjusting The Windshield Mounting Clip
Adjusting the Windshield Mounting Clip The metal portion of the bracket locks into the plastic portion at three different positions. These positions can be used for vehicles with different vertical angles of their windshields. The back position can be used for vehicles with windshields that are slanted back. -
Page 10: Connecting The Power
Connecting the Power The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS is designed to operate on most 12 VDC negative ground vehicle electrical systems. The power cord provided with the unit has a cigarette lighter socket plug at one end and a small connector at the other. Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the unit. -
Page 11: Replacing The Fuse
Replacing the Fuse The cigarette lighter plug contains a 1-ampere fuse to protect it from power surges. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug. Remove the fuse and replace it with the same type. To replace the top, push in the two metal contacts and twist into place. -

Page 13: Memory Retention Feature
Memory Retention Feature The Memory Retention Feature retains the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS’s operational settings in memory for at least 2 days without power. When you turn on the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS, it will be in the same mode as when you turned it off. Full Warning When the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS detects a radar, laser, or safety warning signal, it emits a distinct warning tone and the corresponding... -
Page 14: Visual Alert Only Operation
Visual Alert Only Operation You can operate the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS in Visual Alert Only by setting the Volume control at the minimum position in Full Alert Mode. At this setting you can barely hear the audio alert in a quiet environment. -
Page 15: City Operation
City Operation In highly populated areas, you may encounter many devices that use the same frequencies as radar signals, such as motion detectors, automatic doors, and intrusion alarms. These devices may trigger an alert called “falsing.” To filter most of the weaker signals and get the most accurate radar signal recognition, press CITY to turn on the City Mode. -
Page 16: Led Signal Strength Meter In City Mode
LED Signal Strength Meter in City Mode The LED signal strength meter gives you instant information about the strength of the signal being detected. A weak signal causes the first LED to light, but as signal strength increases, more LEDs light. All four LEDs light when full signal strength is received. -
Page 17: Care And Maintenance
Care and Maintenance The LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS is designed to give you years of trouble-free service. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and, except for the fuse, no maintenance is required. To keep your detector in new condition, follow these important suggestions: Never leave the LRD 6299SWS/LRD 6399SWS on the windshield when you park your vehicle. -
