Wake-Up Sequence (using factory default settings) Your K40 system will be ready for use following this automatic wakeup sequence: 1. Start your vehicle – Your K40 system is designed to turn on automatically every time your vehicle is started. 2. Listen for Wake-Up Sequence – Both front and rear alert lights in your dash will flash (front only radar receiver systems have one alert light). The voice will announce, “K40 Scan, Active,” then you will hear alerts for all bands.
Receiving Alerts Your K40 system provides a combination of audio and visual alerts to warn you when radar is detected. Radar Alert Sequence Your K40 system detects all North American police radar bands (X, K, and Ka-Band). When a signal is detected: • A voice alerts which band was identified. (This assumes the factory default “Voice On” setting has not been changed.) • The K40 RL360di will announce the direction of the signal’s source, either front or rear, along with the band detected.
Laser Settings The Laser Defuser can be configured to one of three different operational settings: Laser Settings Description Recommended Use Constant Transmit Upon receiving a laser signal, the Laser Defuser will continuously transmit a jamming signal for the duration of the laser encounter.

Quiet Ride The Quiet Ride function will automatically silence all radar / laser alerts when traveling under a speed setting of your choice between 5-75 mph in 5 mph increments or 10-120 kph in 10 kph increments. Visual alerts are unaffected by Quiet Ride settings. The factory default setting for Quiet Ride is “Off.” Activating / Adjusting Quiet Ride and release QUIET on the remote control to activate the RIDE Quiet Ride menu.

Mark to Mute The Mark to Mute function allows you to mute any radar band / laser alert from a non-police source (i.e. an automatic door) in a specific GPS location. Using Mark to Mute • Press and release • A voice announces that a specific radar band / laser alert has been muted (i.e. “K Muted”). • You will no longer receive audible alerts for the muted radar band / laser alert when within a 1,500 ft. radius of the muted location. • You will still receive visual alerts from the alert LED(s).
Mark to Alert The Mark to Alert function allows you to add specific GPS locations to your personal database, alerting you to any point of interest you choose (such as school zones, speed traps, or red light cameras). • Press and release MA on the remote control when you want to mark a location for alert. Voice will announce, “Marked to Alert.” In the future, you will be alerted as follows: • When you arrive… You will hear… …within a radius of 750 feet of a marked location ...
Activating / Adjusting Speed Monitor • Press and release • Press and release + or - to adjust the Speed Monitor speed setting. When you have chosen your desired Speed Monitor setting, stop scrolling and voice will announce, “Exit.” MENU until voice announces, “Speed Monitor.” When driving and the Speed Monitor speed is exceeded: • Your K40 system will emit a continuous “Bing Bong” tone and the LED(s) will remain lit.

ELECTRONICS Tech Tips ***Please call before replacing system components to verify compatibility*** ***Always test system with vehicle running*** DO use a reliable source of ground, e.g: steel in kick panel using the supplied ground ring terminal. DON'T use any factory dash or console ground- can cause erratic system behavior. DO mount radar receiver(s) horizontally. DON'T mount radar receivers behind metal or chromed plastic- reduces range and sensitivity.
