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 6199SWS 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 6199SWS 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 6199SWS.
The LRD 6199SWS 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 6199SWS
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 6199SWS, and to ensure that
you get the most from its features, please read this Operating Guide
carefully before installing and operating the unit.

Summary of Contents for Uniden LRD6199SWS

  • Page 1: Introduction

    The LRD 6199SWS 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 6199SWS also uses the new D.R.O. (Dielectric Resonant Oscillator) and E.D.I.T. (Electronic Data Interference Terminator) circuitry, giving more reliable performance.

  • 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.

    Controls and Functions Clip Release — Press the clip release button to remove the LRD 6199SWS from the windshield mounting clip. Rear and Side Laser Detector Lenses — For rear and side detection of laser signals. City Button — Press the CITY button to help reduce X-band false alarms while driving in the city.

  • Page 7 K Ka L 1 2 3 4 5 6 X-Band Signal Indicator — A green LED lights and blinks to indicate the presence of an X-band radar signal. The blink rate increases as the radar source gets closer. A distinct audio alert is also heard.

  • 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 6199SWS 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 LRD6199SWS 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.

  • 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 12: Operation

    Operation You are now ready to enjoy the convenience and security of your LRD 6199SWS. Please read this section of the Operating Guide carefully to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of this unit. Power On Turn the Volume control to switch on the power. When you power up the LRD 6199SWS, it performs a self-test of all its circuits.

  • Page 13: Full Warning

    Full Warning When the LRD 6199SWS detects a radar, laser, or safety warning signal, it emits a distinct warning tone and the corresponding alert LEDs (X, K, Ka, L, or SWS) will light and blink. The blink rate of the LEDs increases and the signal strength meter LEDs light successively as the signal source comes closer.

  • Page 14: Visual Alert Only Operation

    Visual Alert Only Operation You can operate the LRD 6199SWS 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. Be sure that the Audio Alert Only indicator is off.

  • 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 6199SWS 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 6199SWS on the windshield when you park your vehicle.
