Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-D250 - Manual

1. Introduction
Dear Rocky Mountain Radar Owner,
Congratulations on your purchase of one of the world’s most
sophisticated radar/laser detectors. The RMR-D250 is a completely
integrated radar/laser detector which responds not only to all the radar guns in
use today, including “Stalker”, but also to the other latest development in speed
monitoring devices- the laser gun.
This model provides distinct visual and voice alerts to warn you of the
presence of X, K, and all kinds of Ka Band radar guns in the front and
rear of you. This model also provides the benefit of ‘undetectability’ by
alerting you to the presence of VG-2 (‘The Radar Detector detector’).
It also incorporates a new safety feature - Safety Alert(SA) and Safety
Warning System(SWS). This safety feature warns you of the presence of
potential road hazards by detecting signals from safety radar
transmitting devices.
Note :
Important : The RMR-D250 is not designed to help you disobey the
law. A defensive driver always obeys the posted speed limit and legal
driving methods.
Federal and Local Regulations
The FCC passed the Communications Act in 1934 to give all citizens the
right to receive all types of radio transmissions. 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 RMR-D250 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.

3. Installation
1) Mounting Guidelines
For the best performance, select the proper location for the unit
where it has a direct view of the road. The radar antenna is located
behind the rear panel of the unit and the laser detection lenses are
located behind the rear panel of the unit and the front window. 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.
· Choose a location that does not block the driver’s vision.
· Mount the detector in a level position.
· Do not mount the detector behind metal surfaces, windshield
antenna, wiper blades, ornaments, or mirrored glass.
· Heated windshields, currently available as an option on some Ford
(Instaclear) or GM(electriclear) vehicles act as an impenetrable
barrier to radar signals.
· Do not mount the detector where the driver or passenger might
collide in the case of an abrupt halt.
N o t e : Whichever mounting method you choose, remember to
place the radar detector out of view when you leave your
vehicle.This keeps the detector out of sight from thieves and
prevents exposure to extremely high temperatures.
N o t e : If necessary, you may adjust the bracket to the proper angle
by bending it. To remove your detector, pull up the detector
from the front pulling it towards you.
Caution : On some newer model cars, a plastic safety coating has
been applied to the windshield. The suction cups may leave
permanent marks on the windshield once they are removed.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if your car has
the plastic safety coating.
2) Mounting Types
A. On Windshield
a. Attach bracket to windshield.
b. Bend bracket for correct detection angle.
c. Plug Power cord into detector.
d. Attach bracket to detector.
e. Plug power cord into cigarette lighter.
B. On Dashboard
a. Peel protective paper off one
side of hook-loop.
b. Tape on detector ’ s bottom.
c. Peel top paper off.
d. Place detector on dashboard.
e. Plug power cord into detector and cigarette lighter.
3) Power Connection
The coiled power cord provided with the unit has a cigarette lighter
socket plug at one end and a small connector on the other.
1. Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the unit.
2. Insert the other end into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle.
If the detector does not operate when you turn it on, remove the
adapter from the cigarette lighter socket and carefully check the
socket for debris. Also, check the fuse in the adapter and your
vehicle fuse box.
4) Replacing Fuse
a. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug.
b. Remove and check the fuse to see if it has blown, If it has, replace it.
5) MAIL IN TICKET REBATE REGISTRATION CARD WITHIN 30
DAYS.
4. Operation
1) Power and Volume Control
Turn on and adjust volume.
Note : Turning on the detector will trigger the Self-Test mode.
2) Dim Mode
· Press Dim Button.
→ A voice sound will alert you that Dim mode has been
activated. Each time you press Dim button, display
intensity will change Dim, Dimmer, Dark, Bright.
Note : The RMR-D250 cannot activate Mute and Dark at same
