Mounting and Powering the RD950
Mounting Instructions
To help ensure that your RD950 functions properly and
offers maximum protection, please follow these mounting
instructions:
1. Clean the area of the windshield where the RD950 will
be mounted.*
2. Attach the supplied Windshield Mounting Bracket to
your vehicle’s windshield by firmly pressing the suction
cups and the bracket to the windshield.
a. Mount the bracket as low as possible near
the center of the windshield.
b. Do not mount the RD950 behind wipers or any
metal obstructions.
c. Slide the RD950 unit onto the bracket until it clicks
to complete the mounting.
d. The bracket may need to be leveled by carefully
bending it once the RD950 is mounted.
*IMPOR AN NO E: Some windshields include a metallic coating that can
significantly affect eception of ada signals. Consult with you deale o
check you vehicle’s owne ‘s manual to dete mine if you windshield has
such a coating.
Power Connection
1. Plug the small end of the supplied Power Cord into the
Power Input Jack on the left side of the RD950.
2. Plug the large end of the Power Cord into your vehicle’s
12V outlet.
3. Switch on the RD950 by rotating the Power On / Volume
Control Wheel located on the left side of the unit.
No power? See Troubleshooting Guide on page 13.

Wake-Up Sequence
(using facto y default settings)
Once your K40 RD950 has been mounted and had the power
connected, you may begin use immediately by following
these steps:
1. Switch on the RD950 – Rotate the Power On / Volume
Control Wheel on the left side of the unit.
2. Listen for Wake-Up Sequence – The RD950 will an-
nounce (voice) and display (screen) K40 SCAN then go
through a “wake-up sequence” lasting approximately 5
seconds.
•You will hear and see all bands report.
3. You’re ready to drive! – The RD950 will now display
your Filter setting (Highway, City, or Filter), (page 10).

Receiving Alerts
The K40 RD950 provides a combination of audio and visual
alerts to warn you when radar and laser signals are detected.
Radar Alert Sequence
The RD950 detects all orth American police radar signals
(X, K, and Ka-Band). When a radar signal is identified:
•A voice alerts which band was detected. (This assumes the
factory default “Voice On” setting has not been changed.)
•A series of beeps indicates the strength of the signal. Each
band has its own distinctive beep.
•The display will provide you band and strength information.
Radar Alert Examples:
You are driving and a weak K-Band signal is detected:
Visual Alert:
Audio Alert: Voice announces, “K-Band,” followed
by slow beeps.
As you approach the source, the signal becomes stronger:
Visual Alert:
Audio Alert: Beeping is faster due to stronger signal.
Radar source strength: weak medium strong
Display reading: 123 456 789
Audio alert beeps: slowly rapidly

Laser Alert Sequence
When the RD950 detects a laser signal:
•A voice alert announces, “Laser.” (This assumes the factory
default “Voice On” setting has not been changed.)
•You will then hear a distinctive audio tone.
•Display indicates laser has been detected.
•OTE: Unlike radar, signal strength from laser remains
constant.
Laser Alert Example:
You are driving and laser is detected:
Visual Alert: Laser
Audio Alert: Voice announces, “Laser,” followed by
distinctive audio tone.
Alerts from Non-Police Signals
Your RD950 is sensitive enough to detect signals generated
by non-police equipment, such as automatic doors. To learn
how to deal with these signals, please read about FILTER
options (page 10).
K-Band Filter
Your RD950 rejects alerts from vehicles on the road (including
your own) equipped with radar-based safety features, such as
collision avoidance. Police radar reception and detection
range is unaffected by this feature.
raffic Sensor Filter
Your RD950 will reject alerts from traffic flow sensors usually
encountered during highway driving. Enable this filter through
the menu (page 12). 7
