Uniden LRD 2200SWS manual

Introduction Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/ra dar detection. You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar detectors available. The LRD 2200SWS is a complete i ntegrated laser/radar detector. It responds to the X-, K-, and Ka-SuperWideband radar guns in use today and also provides 360° detection of t he lates[...]

Speed Detection Systems A speed detection device (often called a radar gun) sends out either a microwave signal or beam of light. When th is 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 ve[...]

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. E ach 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 ligh[...]

Controls and Functions 1. Clip Release — Press the clip release button to remove the LRD 2200SWS from the windshield mounting clip. 2. Rear and Side Laser Detector Lenses — For rear and side detection of laser signals. 3. City Button — Press the CITY button t o help reduce X-band false alarms while driving in the city. When you turn on the Ci[...]

7. LED Display — LEDs display v isual alerts, signal strength, and operation mode. 8. On-Off/Volume Control — Turns the power on and adjusts the Audio Alert volume. 9. Speaker — Sounds audio alert. There are four different audio alert tones to distinguish each type of si gnal received. When you become familiar with all the distinct alert tone[...]

1. X-Band Signal Indicator — A green LED lights and blinks to indicate the presence of an X-band radar signal. The b link rate increases as the radar source gets close r. A distinct audio alert is also heard. 2. K-Band Indicator — An amber (orange) LED ligh ts and blinks to indicate the presence of a K-band radar. The blink rate increases as th[...]

Installation The LRD 2200SWS uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna and IR laser sensor to receive radar/laser signals. Its sensitiv ity 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 metall ic surfaces. This is why[...]

Adjusting the Wind shield Mounting Clip 1. The metal portion of the bracket locks into t he plastic portion at three different positions. These positions can be used for vehicles with different vertical angles of their windsh ields. The back position can be used for vehicles with windshields that are slanted back. 2. For optimum laser detection, be[...]

Connecting the Power Direct Connection The LRD 2200SWS is designed to op erate on most 12V DC negative ground vehicle electrical systems. The straight power cord provid ed with the unit has bare wires at one end, and a small connector at the other end. 1. Connect the positive wire to a 12V DC source in your vehicle’s fuse box. 2. Connect the othe[...]

3. Run the power cord from th e fuse box to the LRD 2200SWS. Your unit also comes with power cord mounting clips. You can use these clips to attach the power cord to the dashboard or other parts of the vehicle, keeping it neat and ou t of the way. Use the double-sided foam tape squares to attach each clip. Slip the power cord into the clip to hold [...]

When installing the power cord, make sure that: • The socket is clean to allow proper contact. • The power cord does not block th e antenna area on the back of the unit. Your unit also comes with ten power cord mounting clips. You can use these clips to attach the power cord to the window frame or other parts of the vehicle, keeping it neat and[...]

Operation You are now ready to enjoy the convenience and security of your LRD 2200SWS. Please read this section of the Op erating Guide carefully to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of this unit. Power On Turn the Volume control to switch on the power. When you power up the LRD 2200SWS, it performs a self-test o f all its circuits. Thi[...]

Memory Re tention Featu re The Memory Retention Feature retains the LRD 2200SWS’s operational settings in memory for at least 2 days without power. When you turn on the LRD 2200SWS, it will be in the same mode as when y ou turned it off. Full Warning When the LRD 2200 SWS detects a radar, laser, or safety warning signal, it emits a distinct warni[...]

Visual Alert Only O peration You can operate the LRD 2200SWS in Visual Alert Only by setting the Volume control at the m inimum position i n Full Alert Mode. At t his setting you can barely hear the aud io alert in a quiet environment. Be sure that the Audio Alert Only indicator is off. Auto Mute Opera tion Press the Mute button to activate the Aut[...]

City 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 device s may trigger an ale rt called “falsing.” To filter most of t he weaker signals and get the most accurate radar signal recognition, press CITY to t[...]

LED Signal Strength Meter in City Mod e The LED signal strength meter gives you instant information about the strength of the signal being detected. A weak signal ca uses the first LED to light, but as signal strength increases, more LEDs ligh t. All four LEDs light when full signal strength is received. Use this meter to judge the distance from th[...]

Care and Maintenance The LRD 2200SWS is designed to give you years of trouble-free service. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and, except for the fuse, no maintenance is required. To keep your detector in new condition, follow these important suggestions: • Never leave the LRD 2200SWS on the windsh ield when you park your vehicle. The t[...]
