Precautions  
Important: The GPSRD was not designed to help you  
disobey the law. Safe drivers always obey the  
posted speed limit and legal driving methods at  
all times.  
Federal and Local Regulations  
The FCC passed the Communications Act in 1934 to give all  
citizens the right to receive any type of radio transmission. The  
same radio frequencies used by police radar are also used by  
other devices, such as automatic door openers, burglar alarms,  
and some amateur radio equipment. Since the GPSRD is just a  
radio receiver tuned to a specific portion of the public radio  
spectrum, it is protected under this act.  
Some local, state, and federal regulations may prohibit the use of  
this detection device. Please check with authorities regarding the  
use of this device before operating it.  
Since the GPSRD determines its positioning from GPS (Global  
Positioning System), a navigational positioning system whose  
operation is controlled by the Department of Defense (USA), its  
performance may be limited by the operational conditions  
controlled.  
Operation Notice  
Safety Warning Systems  
You have purchased the newest technology designed for Radar,  
Laser and Safety Warning System detection and alert. You  
should be aware that Safety Warning transmitters (the device that  
alerts your detector for safety warning alerts) will be available  
for use throughout the United States. However, these transmitters  
may not be used in all areas.  
While this detector is designed to warn you of road hazards, it is  
not designed as a substitute for safe, attentive driving  
procedures. Drivers are reminded to remain alert for road  
hazards at all times.  
 
Operation Notice of GPS  
GPS signal reception can be affected by the location of satellites,  
tall buildings, tunnels, bridges, etc. If the GPSRD is not  
receiving a signal, you will need to change your location until a  
signal is received.  
The GPSRD will only receive satellite broadcasts from satellites  
that have an elevation above the horizon of 5 degrees or more.  
For optimal GPS signal reception the GPSRD should be  
mounted on the lower part of the windshield.  
The latitude, longitude, and altitude indications on the display  
are based on WGS-84 Datum, and usable in North America and  
Canada only. These indications may not be accurate in other  
areas, and the altitude indication may not appear even in North  
America and Canada depending on the signal conditions from  
GPS satellites.  
GPS Warnings  
* For safety reasons it is not recommended that the driver  
change any settings while in motion. Please come to a  
complete stop or have a passenger make changes if  
necessary.  
* The Global Positioning System is operated and maintained  
by the US Government. The US Government is completely  
responsible for the accuracy of the Global Positioning  
System.  
* The US Government reserves the right to make changes to  
the Global Positioning System in accordance with the  
Department of Defense civil GPS user policy and the  
Federal Radionavigation plan. These changes along with  
poor satellite geometry could cause inaccurate readings.  
* This device is excellent for navigation, however it does not  
replace the need for good judgment and common sense.  
* All information provided is for reference only. The user  
assumes all responsibility and risks when operating this  
product.

Introduction  
Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/radar  
detection with GPS (Global Positioning System). You have  
purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar detectors  
available. The GPSRD is a completely integrated laser/radar  
detector. It responds to the X, K, and Ka band radar in use today  
and also provides 360º detection of the latest speed monitoring  
system the laser gun. And the built-in Safety Warning System  
(SWS™) is capable of detecting hazardous warning signals  
transmitted on the K-band.  
The GPSRD provides distinct visual and audio alerts to warn  
you of the presence of X, K, and Ka band radar signals as well  
as IR laser signals.  
The GPSRD uses the new D.R.O. (Dielectric Resonant  
Oscillator) and E.D.I.T. (Electronic Data Interference  
Terminator) circuitry, giving more reliable performance.  
GPS Features/Descriptions  
I Anti-Falling Database  
a) Learning: Detects false alarm signals emitted from the door  
sensors of buildings then stores their frequencies and the  
location of these signals.  
b) False alarm prevention: Deactivates its beep alert if it  
receives signals having the same frequencies and locations  
as those that are stored in memory.  
The above learning and false alarm prevention are performed  
automatically, and as a result, a great number of false alarms are  
eliminated. Alarms will still occur under the following  
circumstances:  
• When receiving different frequency signals other than the  
ones stored in memory.  
• When receiving signals stronger than the level set in the  
menu function. (See “False Area” on page 21)  
Frequencies and locations stored in memory can be deleted by  
 
1
the following methods:  
• When no driving is made in the same area for 1~2 months  
after learning.  
• When no interference signal of the same frequency exists  
for 1~2 months after learning.  
• User deletes stored information manually.  
Note: A maximum of 5,000 locations can be stored in  
memory. Once the memory is full the oldest data will  
be deleted to make space for the new data collection.  
I Trap key  
Pressing the Trap key will store the present location for an  
automatic alert. This feature can be used to mark common speed  
trap locations for advanced notice.  
I Alert Key  
Pressing the Alert key will cancel a stored location caused by  
actual police radar use. Press the Alert key when an actual police  
gun is in use so that the location will not be stored as a falsing  
location.  
I Navigation Feature  
Navigational information such as time to go, latitude, longitude,  
altitude, and a directional arrow for your destination will be  
shown on the 8 digit LED display. For details regarding the  
navigation feature, refer to page 15.  
I Preprogrammed City Database  
Over 1,200 city coordinates are preprogrammed for user  
selection. Simply choose your destination and the GPSRD will  
show you the direction, time to go, average speed, etc. while  
traveling to the city of choice.  
We are certain that you will enjoy the GPSRD, and to ensure  
that you get the most from its features, please read this  
Operating Guide carefully before installing and operating  
the unit.

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. The time required for the signal to  
leave the gun, bounce off an object, and return is used to  
determine a vehicle’s distance and speed.  
Radar  
Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a microwave system for  
detecting the speed of moving objects by reflected pulses of high  
frequency radio waves. There are three radar bands (microwave  
frequencies): X-band (10.49 to 10.56GHz), K-band (24.04 to  
24.26 GHz), and Ka-band (34.4 GHz to 34.8 GHz).  
The X-band was the first used for traffic, followed by the  
K-band which is harder to detect (most instant-on radar is  
K-band). The Ka-band was introduced in 1987. The GPSRD  
monitors all current radar bands including laser.  
The radar beam is cone shaped the narrower the beam, the  
greater the resolution. A moving vehicle reflects radar signals  
back towards the radar gun. The GPSRD can detect the signals  
emitted by radar guns, and it will sound an audio alarm and flash  
a warning indicator.  
For continuously transmitting radar, use the GPSRD to get  
accurate detection from a safe distance. Weak signals cause the  
audio and visual alarms to sound intermittently, but as the signal  
gets stronger (the closer you get to the radar gun), both alarms  
increase in intensity.  
Instant-on transmitters fire a short radar pulse beam at a vehicle.  
When detected at a distance, you will hear a few beeps and see  
the strength meter begin to light. Instant-On radar signals are the  
most difficult to detect at a safe distance because they are  
transmitted only when directed at you or at a vehicle directly  
ahead of you.  
 
4
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.  
Each 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 light, so  
it can pinpoint a speeding car within traffic. The infrared beam  
spreads out, but slowly and over a longer distance than a radar  
signal.  
0.25 miles  
1.55 miles  
0.5 miles  
4.9 feet wide 9.8 feet wide  
29.5 feet wide  
The laser gun can acquire a speed reading as quickly as 0.3  
seconds, sometimes less. However, since it isn’t easy to  
accurately aim at and hit a moving target, an operator often  
moves the laser gun in several directions to get a reading. So  
laser signals are emitted continuously for a few seconds for each  
speed measurement. The GPSRD can detect these light pulses  
from as far away as 1.55 miles, which is about four times the  
effective range of a laser gun (0.39 miles), and about ten times  
its average operating range (0.09-0.16 miles).  
Note: To be safe, do not ignore any warnings. Although  
there are other types of radar signals that may cause  
interference, when the GPSRD detects a signal, be on  
the alert. It is important to exercise caution at all  
times.

Installation  
The GPSRD 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. 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 three important factors:  
• For safety, do not mount the GPSRD in a location where it  
will obstruct your driving vision.  
• Most vehicles have the top part of the windshield tinted.  
Mounting the GPSRD behind tinted or mirrored glass may  
reduce the effectiveness of laser detection by reducing the  
amount of laser light received by the detector.  
• Do not mount the GPSRD in the path of an airbag.  
Helpful Tips  
The antenna and the forward looking  
sensor are located behind the rear  
panel of the unit, (and the rear- and  
side-looking sensors are located on  
top of the unit), directly behind the  
mode selection keys. The antenna and sensors should not be  
obstructed by metal or metallic surfaces and should be pointed at  
the horizon for accurate long-range detection.  
• Do not mount the unit behind the windshield wiper blades,  
radio antenna, tinted glass area, or mirrored glass. Be sure  
the unit is free from obstruction by seat backs, rear view  
mirror, sun visors, or the ceiling of the automobile.  
• Do not mount the unit in front of the heater or defroster vents.  
• Make sure that the GPS antenna window has a clear view of  
the sky.  
 
9
• Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or in the glove  
compartment of a closed car for long periods of time, as  
extreme changes in temperature may cause internal damage.  
Also, removing the unit from the windshield makes you less  
susceptible to break-in and theft.  
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.  
2. For optimum laser  
detection, bend the angled  
portion of the windshield  
mounting bracket so that  
the GPSRD is parallel to  
the road surface. Be sure  
the GPSRD is mounted so  
it is free of obstructions  
from seat backs, rear view  
mirror, sun visors, or the  
ceiling of the automobile.  
There must be a clear 360º  
line of sight to the outside  
of the vehicle.  
To mount the GPSRD:  
1. Insert the windshield clip into the GPSRD.  
2. Place the bracket and the GPSRD in the proper location on  
the windshield of your vehicle, and press the suction cups  
firmly against the windshield.  
 
10  
Connecting the Power  
Using the Cigarette Lighter Adapter  
A coiled power cord provided with the unit has a cigarette  
lighter socket plug at one end and a small connector at the other.  
1. Insert the small connector into the 12V DC power input on  
the side of the unit.  
2. Insert the other end into the cigarette lighter socket of your  
vehicle.  
When installing the power cord, make sure that:  
• The socket is clean to allow proper contact.  
• The power cord does not block the antenna area.  
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 out of the way.  
Use the double-sided foam tape squares to attach each clip. Slip  
the power cord into the clip to hold it securely in place.  
 
11  
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 on  
the two metal contacts and  
twist into place.  
Note: Your GPSRD comes with an extra fuse.

Operation  
You are now ready to enjoy the convenience and security of your  
GPSRD. 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 knob to turn power on. The GPSRD is  
set to Demo mode and it performs a series of self-tests on its  
radar detection displays and alert tones. After the self-tests of X,  
K, Ka, Laser, L2, L3, VG2, and SWS, the display shows  
“Welcome to Uniden GPSRD” scrolling as follows.  
RED  
RED  
When all the characters on the display have been scrolled  
through after the self-tests, the detector sets the modes that were  
used last.  
The display will then scroll, (searching for satellite). This will  
indicate that the GPSRD is trying to acquire satellite  
information.  
The upper LED lights red during Demo mode and turns to green  
when the detector receives signals from GPS satellites.  
Note: • The detector stops Demo mode if it receives radar  
signals, laser or GPS signals, approaches the  
destination or Trap Point, or any one of its buttons  
is pressed.  
You can operate all buttons even if the detector  
cannot receive signals from the satellite, but some  
functions wont be available and will sound an  
error tone.

Warning Feature  
When the GPSRD detects a radar, laser, or safety warning signal,  
it emits a distinct warning tone respectively. The detected band  
name appears on the display as X, K, Ka, SW, VG, L, L2 or L3  
along with its signal strength and speed indication. When the  
signal gets stronger, more signal strength portions light up the  
signal strength meter. You can use this meter to judge the  
distance from the signal source as it gives you instant  
information about the signal being detected.

(Highway) initially and  
you may choose to increase the city mode from level 1 to 4  
based on how sensitive you wish to set the detector.  
Level 0  
: This is the most sensitive setting. The  
(Highway) detector will be more sensitive to distant  
signals, but it also is more likely to false alarms.  
Level 1~4 : The detector filters out weaker signals to reduce  
(City)  
false alarms, however you will not receive Audio  
Warnings until you get closer to the source.  
Note: Setting the city level to 4 greatly reduces the range for  
receiving an audio alert.  
 
20  
False Area  
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 devices may trigger an effect called “falsing”. To reduce  
false alarms, the GPSRD is equipped with a newly developed  
Anti-Falsing database (Common Falsing Area). While driving in  
the city, the detector stores encountered interference signal  
information automatically. When you drive in the same area at a  
later time, the detector’s alert tone feature won’t be activated by  
those signals unless their strength exceeds the predefined level  
set as follows.  
To adjust the level to sound the alert tone in the false area, select  
“Alrt Lvl” and press the SELECT/TRAP key from the menu. The  
present alert level appears on the display and it is adjustable in 6  
levels.  
Level 0: The alert tone sounds by all signals received.  
Level 6: The alert tone sounds by strong signals only.

Note: • The alert level is effective in the false area only, and  
the warning feature is active for all signals in other  
areas.  
• The detector stores approx. 5,000 areas. The stored  
information is deleted automatically if you dont  
drive in the same area for a long time.  
• Once the detectors memory is full, the detector will  
delete one oldest data to make space for new  
information.

Warning Display in the False Area  
When the GPSRD detects signals in the false area, it displays the  
following:  
1. If the signal strength is less than the predefined level.  
(No alert tone sounds.)  
GREEN  
2. If the signal strength is more than the predefined level.  
(Alert tone sounds.) Your current speed is displayed.  
GREEN  
Note: The display changes as shown if the detector cannot  
receive signals from the GPS satellite.

Switching On/Off the False Alarm Preventive  
Function  
Since the GPSRD stores false area information itself and  
deactivates its alert tone automatically, you may want to be  
alerted by all signals received regardless of the alert level  
setting.  
1. Press the EXIT/ALERT key while receiving signals when  
driving in the false area for the first time. The false alarm  
preventive function is switched on or off, and the display  
changes accordingly as follows:

display instead of the right 3 characters “STP”.  
• The EXIT/ALERT key functions only at the present  
false area to switch from GPSRD operation to  
conventional radar detector operation.  
Trap Point  
The Trap Point is a user programmable location that can be used  
to mark a common speed trap location. Once a location is  
marked, the next time you approach the location, an alarm will  
sound. You can mark up to 1,000 locations.  
Press the SELECT/TRAP key at the  
location you want to mark. After  
“Trap” and the marked number  
indication disappears from the  
LED display, the display returns  
to the Normal mode marked as  
shown below.

Care and Maintenance  
The GPSRD 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 GPSRD on the windshield when you park  
your vehicle. The temperature in the vehicle in summer can  
reach levels above what is considered safe for this unit.  
• To make you less susceptible to break in and in theft,  
remove the unit from your windshield when you leave  
your vehicle.  
• Do not expose the unit to moisture. Rain, dew, road splash,  
or other liquids that can damage the internal components  
and reduce sensitivity of the GPSRD.
