Uniden LRD 747 Automobile User Manual


 
INSTALLATION
The LRD 747/LRD 757 uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna
and IR laser sensor to receive laser/radar 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 747/LRD 757 in a location
where it will obstruct your driving vision.
Most vehicles have the top part of the windshield tinted.
Mounting the LRD 747/LRD 757 behind tinted or mirrored
glass may reduce the effectiveness of laser detection by
reducing the amount of laser light received by the dectector.
