ABOUT R9

R9 is an advanced professionally-installed laser radar detector with
laser interruption capabilities. Front and rear radar detectors and
laser transponders provide outstanding detecting range while its
sleek design blends with your vehicle's interior. An alert LED lets you
know if signals are coming from the front (red) or rear (blue). If no
signals are detected, the LED is green.
This illustration shows R9's basic element placement (your installer
will place these elements according to your vehicle's specific layout.)
