Page 4: Introduction
The LRD 6699SWS 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 6699SWS 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 5: 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 6: 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 12: 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 6699SWS in a location where it will obstruct your driving vision. -
Page 13: 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 windshield angles. The back position can be used for vehicles with windshields that are slanted back. For optimum laser detection, bend the angled portion of the windshield mounting bracket so that the LRD 6699SWS is parallel to the road surface. -
Page 14: Connecting The Power
Connecting the Power Warning: The LRD 6699SWS is designed to operate only with 12V DC, negative ground power systems. Operation of the unit on other voltages or polarities will cause damage to the unit and may create a fire hazard. Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the unit. -
Page 15: 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: Operation
You are now ready to enjoy the convenience and security of your LRD 6699SWS. 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 switch to turn power on. Once the Power-On alert sounds, your LRD 6699SWS performs a six second self-test of all circuits. -
Page 17: Full Warning
Note: The alert tones for the radar, laser, and SWS are all different. The Safety Warning System The Uniden Safety Warning System™ (SWS) is a new communication system which will provide you with an early warning message when a road hazard exists. The LRD 6699SWS is capable of detecting SWS signal broadcasts on the K-band by either law enforcement or local departments of transportation. -
Page 18: Memory Retention Feature
Memory Retention Feature The Memory Retention Feature retains the LRD 6699SWS’s operational settings in memory for at least two days without power. When you turn on the LRD 6699SWS, it will be in the same mode as when you turned it off. -
Page 19: Mute Operation
Mute Operation Press the MUTE button to briefly hear full audio when a signal is first received, then the alert tone is automatically reduced to half volume for the duration of the warning. An “M” is displayed to indicate this mode. -
Page 20: City/Highway Operation
City/Highway 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 effect called “falsing.” Press the CITY button to change between Highway or City mode: CITY mode –... -
Page 21: 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, additional LEDs light. All LEDs light when a full-strength signal is received. -
Page 22: Care And Maintenance
