  • Page 5: Speed Detection

    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 6: Laser

    The Laser Speed Detection System, also called LIDAR (for Li Detection a nd R 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.

    CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS Clip Release — Press the clip release button to remove the LRD 767/LRD 777 from the windshield mounting clip. Rear and Side Laser Detector Lense — For rear and side detection of laser signals. Press the city button to help reduce X-band false alarms while driving in the city.

    DISPLAY PANEL The display panel indicates the driving direction and each mode of the operational conditions when no signal is engaged. At city mode : At highway mode : Every time you turn on the LRD 767/LRD 777, a self test is At audio-only mode : performed for all visual (dim &...
  • Page 9: Installation

    INSTALLATION The LRD 767/LRD777 uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna and IR laser sensor to receive laser/radar signals. Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of installation and the direction of the antenna/sensor in relation to the signal source. The inherent nature of radar waves makes them reflect off metallic surfaces.
  • Page 10: Helpful Tips

    HELPFUL TIPS The antenna and the forward looking sensor are located behind the rear panel of the unit, (and the rear- and side-looking sensors are located on top of the unit), directly behind the mode selection keys. The antenna and sensors should not be obstructed by metal or metallic surfaces and should be pointed at the horizon for accurate long-range detection.
  • Page 11: Adjusting The Windshield Mounting Clip

    ADJUSTING THE WINDSHIELD MOUNTING CLIP The metal portion of the bracket locks into the plastic portion at two different positions. These positions can be used for vehicles with two different vertical angles of their windshields. The back position can be used for vehicles with windshields that are slanted back.
  • Page 12: Connecting The Power

    The power cord provided with the unit has a cigarette lighter socket plug at one end and a small connector at the other. Use only a Uniden supplied power cord or its replacement. When installing the power cord, make sure that: Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the unit.
  • Page 13: 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 16: Visual Alert Operation

    VISUAL ALERT ONLY OPERATION You can operate the LRD767/LRD777in Visual Alert Only by setting the volume control at the minimum position in Full WARNING Alert Mode. At this setting you can barely hear the audio alert in a quiet environment. To operate with visual alert only, set the volume control to...
  • Page 17: 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 18: Signal Strength Meter

    SIGNAL STRENGTH METER The signal strength meter shown in the display panel gives you instant information about the strength of the signal being detected. A weak signal causes the first bar to light, but as signal strength increases, more bars light. All six bars for radar and three bars for laser light when full signal strength is received.
