The LRD 6699SWS 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. This is why these waves are so useful
for measuring the speed of a vehicle. The IR laser light may reflect only
from shiny surfaces. 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.
Most vehicles have the top part of the windshield tinted. Mounting
the LRD 6699SWS behind tinted or mirrored glass may reduce the
effectiveness of laser detection by reducing the amount of laser light
received by the Detector.
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.
Do not mount the unit behind the windshield wiper blades, radio
antenna, tinted glass area, or mirrored glass. Be sure the unit is free
from obstruction by seat backs, rear view mirror, sun visors, or the
ceiling of the automobile.
Do not mount the unit in front of the heater or defroster vents.
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.
