be mounted.*
2. Attach the supplied Windshield Mounting Bracket to
your car’s windshield by firmly pressing the suction cups
in the bracket to the windshield.
a. Mount the bracket as low as possible near
the center of the windshield.
b. Do not mount the unit behind wipers or any
metal obstructions.
3. Slide the RL100 unit itself on to the bracket to complete
the mounting.
4. Level the radar detector, if necessary, by carefully
bending the Windshield Mounting Bracket.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: Some windshields include a metallic coating that can
significantly affect reception of radar signals. Consult with your dealer or
check your vehicle’s owner ‘s manual to determine if your windshield has
such a coating.
Power Connection
1. Plug the small end of the supplied Power Cord into the
Power Input Jack on the side of the radar detector.
2. Plug the large end of the Power Cord into your vehicle’s
cigarette lighter socket or other 12V outlet.
3. Switch on the RL100 by turning the Power On/Volume
Control Wheel located on left side of the unit.

connected, you may begin using immediately by following
these steps:
1. Switch on the RL100 –Turn the Power On/Volume
Control Wheel on the side of the unit.
2. Wait for Test Scan to complete – The radar detector
will announce(voice) and display(screen) K40 SCAN then
go through a “wake up sequence” lasting approximately
5 seconds.
a. You will hear and see all bands tested. Adjust the
volume during this test.
b. Upon completion of the sequence scan, the screen
will display HIGHWAY .
3. Wait for GPS Connection – After searching for available
satellites, the unit will announce “GPS Connected” then

Receiving Alerts
The K40 RL100 provides a combination of audio and visual
alerts to warn you when radar and laser signals are detected.
Radar Alert Sequence
The RL100 detects X, K and KA-Band radar signals. When a
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. (Volume reduces
automatically after 5 seconds.)
•The display will provide you band and strength information.
Radar Alert Examples:
You are driving 45 mph and a low K-Band is detected.
Visual Alert: K 2 45
Audio Alert: Voice announces “K-Band” followed
by slow beeps.
As you approach the source, you slow to 40 mph and
the signal becomes stronger:
Visual Alert: K 8 40
Audio Alert: Beeping is faster due to stronger signal.
Radar source strength: low medium strong
Display reading: 123 456 789
Audio alert beeps: slower faster
6
Laser Alert Sequence
When the RL100 detects a laser signal:
•A voice alerts announces “Laser.” (This assumes the factory
default “Voice ON” setting has not been changed.)
•You then hear a distinctive audio tone. (Volume reduces
automatically after 5 seconds.)
•Display indicates laser has been detected and reports
your speed.
•NOTE: Unlike radar, signal strength from laser remains
constant.
Laser Alert Example:
You are driving 55 mph and laser is detected.
Visual Alert: LASER 55
Audio Alert: Voice announces “Laser” followed by
unique tone.
Alerts from non-police signals
Your RL100 is sensitive enough to detect signals generated
by non-police equipment, such as bank security systems. To
learn how to deal with these signals, please read about FILTER
options (page xx) and the MARK Location function (page xx).

Special Features/Functions
Mute Sounds
Using the MUTE button, the RL100 provides you two ways
to mute audio alerts (both voice and tones) for either 15
seconds or 2 minutes:
•OPTION 1: Silence all audio after an alert has sounded.
•OPTION 2: Silence all audio for a preset time before any
alert occurs. (Example: You may mute sounds
for 2 minutes prior to making a phone call.)
For either option, here’s how to mute your device:
After pressing the MUTE button, the display will show
Mute On_ and the voice will announce “Mute On.”
NOTE: While this feature is engaged you will only receive
new alerts as visual indications on the display.
Mark Location
The “Mark” function conveniently allows you to store specific
locations and provide you two levels of alert:
Level 1, MUTE — Mute a future alert from a location
known to contain non-police signals, such as a bank that’s
known to transmit security signals that trigger your detector.

the alert.
Level 2, FULL ALERT — Provides you both audio and visual
alerts for a specific location you’ve stored. (Examples:
school zone, speed camera, red-light camera intersection).
•To activate, press and release MARK button twice when
you are at the location.
•Display shows Alrt Loc and voice announces “Marked
to Alert”
•After marking the location, in the future the RL100 will
alert you:
To remove a previously marked location: Press and
release MARK button while in that location.
To remove all currently stored locations: Press and hold
MARK button for 5 seconds at any time.
When you arrive… You will hear a…
…within 1500 foot radius of ..."Bing Bong" tone and the
the marked location display will show Alrt Loc
...at a marked location ...single “Bing” tone
