Quick Reference Guide Power Press the Power button to turn the RX75 PLUS on. (We recommend wiring the RX75 PLUS to a switched circuit so that it will turn on/off with your vehicles ignition).

Controls and Features Highway / AutoScan / City Switch Dark Mode The “City” button selects the RX75 PLUS’s sensitivity. We recommend the “AutoScan” mode for most driving. The RX75 PLUS’s exclusive AutoScan mode provides long-range warning, with minimum false alarms. In this mode, the RX75 PLUS’s internal computer continuously analyzes all incoming signals and intelligently adjusts the sensitivity – eliminating the majority of false alarms. You can also select conventional “Highway” and “City” modes.

Interpreting Alerts Although the RX75 PLUS has a comprehensive warning system and this handbook is as complete as we can make it, only experience will teach you what to expect from your RX75 PLUS and how to interpret what it “tells” you. The radar alerts you receive are affected by the specific type of radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on) and the location of the radar source.
How Radar Works How Radar Works Radar range also depends on the power of the radar equipment itself. The strength of the radar unit’s beam diminishes with distance. The farther the radar has to travel, the less energy it has for speed detection. Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as X-Band radar, your The RX75 PLUS will occasionally receive non-police radar signals.
How Safety Radar Works How Safety Warning Systems Works Note: Some of the safety messages have been condensed, so each message can be displayed on one or two screens on the RX75 PLUS’s eight character display.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problem Solution Explanation of Displays The RX75 PLUS beeps briefly at the same location every day, but no radar source is in sight. • An X-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within range of your route.
