ABOUT R9w
R9w 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. If LED Initial Setting is ON, the LED
is green if no sigals are received. If LED Initial Setting is OFF, then the LED is also off if
no sigals are detected.
This illustration shows R9w's basic element placement (your installer will place these
elements according to your vehicle's specific layout).
