Uniden LRD2200SWS Operating Manual

Complete integrated laser/radar detector

Advertisement

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 2200SWS 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 2200SWS 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 2200SWS.
The LRD 2200SWS 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 2200SWS
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 2200SWS, 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 LRD2200SWS

  • Page 1: Introduction

    The LRD 2200SWS 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 2200SWS 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.

There are four different audio alert tones to distinguish each type of signal received. When you become familiar with all the distinct alert tones, you can operate the LRD 2200SWS just by listening, devoting your full attention to the traffic in front of you.
  • Page 7 X 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 2200SWS 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 Direct Connection The LRD 2200SWS is designed to operate on most 12V DC negative ground vehicle electrical systems. The straight power cord provided with the unit has bare wires at one end, and a small connector at the other end. Connect the positive wire to a 12V DC source in your vehicle’s fuse box.
  • Page 11: Using The Coiled Cigarette Adapter

    Run the power cord from the fuse box to the LRD 2200SWS. Your unit also comes with power cord mounting clips. You can use these clips to attach the power cord to the dashboard or other parts of the vehicle, keeping it neat and out of the way. Use the double-sided foam tape squares to attach each clip.
  • Page 12: Replacing The Fuse

    When installing the power cord, make sure that: The socket is clean to allow proper contact. The power cord does not block the antenna area on the back of the unit. Your unit also comes with ten power cord mounting clips. You can use these clips to attach the power cord to the window frame or other parts of the vehicle, keeping it neat and out of the way.

    Operation You are now ready to enjoy the convenience and security of your LRD 2200SWS. 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 2200SWS, it performs a self-test of all its circuits.
  • Page 14: Memory Retention Feature

    Memory Retention Feature The Memory Retention Feature retains the LRD 2200SWS’s operational settings in memory for at least 2 days without power. When you turn on the LRD 2200SWS, it will be in the same mode as when you turned it off. Full Warning When the LRD 2200SWS detects a radar, laser, or safety warning signal, it emits a distinct warning tone and the corresponding alert LEDs...
  • Page 15: Visual Alert Only Operation

    Visual Alert Only Operation You can operate the LRD 2200SWS 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 16: 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 17: 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 18: Care And Maintenance

    Care and Maintenance The LRD 2200SWS 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 2200SWS on the windshield when you park your vehicle.
