- Page 2 Important: The GPSRD was not designed to help you disobey the law. Safe drivers always obey the posted speed limit and legal driving methods at all times. Federal and Local Regulations The FCC passed the Communications Act in 1934 to give all citizens the right to receive any type of radio transmission.
- Page 3 Operation Notice of GPS GPS signal reception can be affected by the location of satellites, tall buildings, tunnels, bridges, etc. If the GPSRD is not receiving a signal, you will need to change your location until a signal is received. The GPSRD will only receive satellite broadcasts from satellites that have an elevation above the horizon of 5 degrees or more.

Page 5: Introduction
Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/radar detection with GPS (Global Positioning System). You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar detectors available. The GPSRD is a completely integrated laser/radar detector. It responds to the X, K, and Ka band radar in use today and also provides 360º... - Page 6 the following methods: • When no driving is made in the same area for 1~2 months after learning. • When no interference signal of the same frequency exists for 1~2 months after learning. • User deletes stored information manually. Note: A maximum of 5,000 locations can be stored in memory.

Page 8: 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 9: 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. -

Page 11: Controls And Functions
Controls and Functions 1. 360º Laser Detection Lenses − For 360º detection of laser signals. 2. Clip Release − Press the clip release button to set or remove the GPSRD from the windshield mounting clip. 3. CITY Key − With each press, the level to cut out weak signals changes from 0 (min) to 4 (max). - Page 12 10. 12V DC Power Input − Connect the DC power cord here. Use only a Uniden 11. Speaker − Sounds audio alerts. There are different alert tones which distinguish each type of signal received.

Page 13: Installation
The GPSRD uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna and IR laser sensor to receive radar/laser 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 14: Adjusting The Windshield Mounting Clip
• Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or in the glove compartment of a closed car for long periods of time, as extreme changes in temperature may cause internal damage. Also, removing the unit from the windshield makes you less susceptible to break-in and theft. -
Page 15: Connecting The Power
Connecting the Power Using the Cigarette Lighter Adapter A coiled power cord provided with the unit has a cigarette lighter socket plug at one end and a small connector at the other. 1. Insert the small connector into the 12V DC power input on the side of the unit. -
Page 16: Replacing The Fuse
Replacing the Fuse The cigarette lighter plug contains a 1-ampere fuse to protect it from power surges. 1. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug. 2. Remove the fuse and replace it with the same type. 3. To replace the top, push in on the two metal contacts and twist into place. -
Page 17: Operation
After the self-tests of X, K, Ka, Laser, L2, L3, VG2, and SWS, the display shows “Welcome to Uniden GPSRD” scrolling as follows. When all the characters on the display have been scrolled through after the self-tests, the detector sets the modes that were used last. -
Page 18: Volume Control
Volume Control Adjust the Volume to a comfortable alarm tone level for your vehicle. The volume level does not have any effect on the unit’s sensitivity. Menu Function To enter into the Menu function, press the L key. There are seven setting modes in the Menu function; Navigate, Mark Loc, Speeds, Position, Database, Alrt Lvl, and Option. -
Page 19: Navigate
Note: • To exit from the Menu function, press the EXIT/ALERT key. If no key is pressed within 30 seconds, the GPSRD will return to the display screen. • If the detector cannot receive signals from the GPS satellite, “-” and “?” may appear on the display. 1. - Page 20 • In the case of City, Dallas for example 1. Select “Navigate” using the L or M key. 2. Press the SELECT/TRAP key. 3. Select “City” using the L or M key. 4. Press the SELECT/TRAP key to indicate the states. 5.

Page 21: Mark Loc (Mark Location)
• In any case of other than City, you have to register the latitude and longitude at first. (See Mark Loc Section) 1. Select “Home”, for example, using the L or M button. 2. Press the SELECT/TRAP button. After “Selected” indication, the display returns to the Normal mode. -
Page 22: Speeds
3. Speeds Select “Speeds” and press the SELECT/ TRAP button. In this mode, the detector displays the maximum or average speed data stored in the GPS module. Use the L or M keys to toggle between the maximum and average display. -
Page 23: Database
5. Database Select “Database” and press the SELECT/TRAP key. In this mode, you can delete the data for False Alerts and Trap Locations programmed in the GPS module. Select “False” or “Trap” with the L or M button, and press the SELECT/TRAP button if you want to delete the data. -
Page 24: City/Highway Mode
Example: X Band Note: • The alert tones for the radar, laser, and SWS are all different. • The warning feature won’t be functional if you are driving less than 10 MPH. City/Highway Mode You can change the detector’s sensitivity to activate its warning feature according to your driving area. -
Page 25: False Area
False Area 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 effect called “falsing”. To reduce false alarms, the GPSRD is equipped with a newly developed Anti-Falsing database (Common Falsing Area). -
Page 26: Warning Display In The False Area
Warning Display in the False Area When the GPSRD detects signals in the false area, it displays the following: 1. If the signal strength is less than the predefined level. (No alert tone sounds.) 2. If the signal strength is more than the predefined level. (Alert tone sounds.) Your current speed is displayed. -
Page 27: Trap Point
2. Press the EXIT/ALERT key while receiving signals when driving in the same false area. The function is switched on/off, and the display changes as follows: Note: • If the signal strength is more than the predefined level, the vehicle speed will be indicated on the display instead of the right 3 characters “STP”. -
Page 28: Mute Operation
Example: Note: • “TrapFULL” appears on the display with an error tone if memory space for marking “Traps” is full. • To clear the marked location, press the SELECT/TRAP button while driving within the Level 3 “Trap” area. “CLR Trap” appears on the display. Mute Operation The detector changes its alert tones when the audio mute feature is activated. -
