Introduction Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/radar detection. You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar detectors available.
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.
Laser The Laser Speed Detection System, also called LIDAR (for Light D etection 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.
Included with Your Radar Detector If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact Uniden Parts Department at (800) 554-3988, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Central, Monday through Friday.
Controls and Functions 1. Clip Release — Press the clip release button to remove the LRD 6699SWS from the windshield mounting clip. 2. Rear, Side, and Front Laser Detector Lenses — For rear, side, and front detection of laser signals. 3. CITY Button — With each press, the mode toggles from Highway to City mode.
7. LED Display — LEDs display LASER/RADAR alerts, signal strength, operation mode, and Safety Warning System (SWS) messages. 8. On-Off/Volume Control — Turns the power on (with a click) and adjusts the Audio alert volume. 9. 12V DC Power Input — Connect the DC power cord here.
LED Displays 1. Three-Color LED — Red indicates a radar detection; Green indicates a laser detection; and Amber indicates a Safety Warning System(SWS) message. 2. Band and City/Highway Mode — The first three LEDs indicate X-, K-, Ka-SuperWideband radar signal, and City or Highway mode.
When a Ka-band is received with a signal strength of 4: When City, Audio, and Mute modes are turned on: When a SWS message ‘ROAD CLOSED AHEAD’ is received: 1. The first eight characters display for about two seconds. 2. The message scrolls to the left at the rate of approximately three characters each second.
Installation 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.
Adjusting the Windshield Mounting Clip 1. 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.
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. 1. Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the unit.
Replacing the Fuse The cigarette lighter plug contains a 1-ampere fuse to protect it from power surges. 1. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug. 2. Remove the fuse and replace it with the same type. 3. To replace the top, push in the two metal contacts and twist into place.
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.
Full Warning When the LRD 6699SWS detects a radar, laser, or safety warning signal, it emits a distinct warning tone. The corresponding X-, K-, Ka-Super Wideband, Laser, or SWS indication display along with the corresponding red, green or amber Three-Color LED.
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.
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. 16 C:...lrd6699.
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.
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.
