MOBILE AND FIXED RADAR DETECTOR KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II
EUROPEAN MODEL - Pre config red for SPAIN
1. Introd ction
Thank you for purchasing the KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II Mo ile and Fixed Radar Detector.
The new KAZA DM480 Defender II is a state-of-the-art radar detector that has een equipped with a
new DSP antenna specially designed to detect, at a great distance, the new MTR radars
(MULTARADAR), without producing false alerts. With extended range and fewer false alerts thanks to
advanced digital signal processing (DSP) and in-vehicle technology filtering (IVT).
The Kaza DM 480 DEFENDER II DSP Radar Detector and Warning offers an improved detection range,
with longer detection distances and the practical cancellation of false alerts caused mainly y the
adaptive cruise control systems and lind spot sensors that equip some modern vehicles.

Radar detectors equipped with DSP technology recognize radar wave data y their unique
signature. These detectors detect and lock data other than individual signal, offering a great
improvement in the cancellation of false alerts and identifying real radars with digital signatures. In
addition, DSP technology allows a permanent evolution of the firmware adapting it to any change
such as: new radars, sensors in vehicles that could interfere with radars, etc.
This powerful antenna increases its sensitivity y more than 30% compared to the previous version. It
relies on a new DSP chip to identify radar signals quickly and more efficiently. It multiplies y 100 the
capacity of filtration and detection of radiofrequency emissions and optimizes detections in MTR
and KA and.
The new radars called MTR, with intelligent multi-rail control, are eing strongly implemented
throughout Europe. They cover more than 30% of radars in Spain and more than 80% in Portugal.
They have ecome the model most chosen y the authorities.
This type of radar, which is replacing the veteran Multanova (34.3 Ghz and 35.5 Ghz), are a le to act
oth static and moving, controlling several roads / vehicles at the same time.
The Kaza DM480 DEFENDER II radar detector and warning device offers a dou le protection shield:
•GPS radar warning.
•Exclusive DSP detector antenna with digital signature technology.
Do not use the KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II Mo ile and Fixed Speed Camera Detector to ypass
speed controls, ut to make your driving safer. The device will remind you of the limits that must e
met at all times helping you not to incur distractions that may cause an infringement or accident.
Do not tamper with the unit inside the vehicle while driving, as this may divert your attention to the
road.
Don't forget to check yo r co ntry's legislation regarding the detector!
The ser of this device will be solely and personally responsible for its se, taking into acco nt the
provisions of each co ntry. The man fact rer or distrib tor will not ass me any responsibility when its
se contravenes the provisions of the legislation that is in force in the co ntry in which it is sed.

2. Recommendations for se for the KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II Mobile and Fixed Speed Camera
Detector
•Put it close to the glass, totally parallel to the road, and facing forward.
• Place it at such a height that neither the windshield wipers nor any other o ject hinders
the vision of the detector.
•Do not place it on top, or on sunshades, if the glass has a tinted sun protection zone as the
detector will not work properly.
•Make sure your vehicle does not have leaded athermic glass. With this type of crystals the
detector does not work properly. Athermal windows have a layer of leaded metal inside the
windshield. This layer of metal can nullify or weaken the signal emitted y radars, thus
reducing or canceling the strength of the signal that reaches the detector. This can cause
the detector to take longer to warn or even not at all. In these athermal moons there is an
area of lack dots, just ehind the rearview mirror, where it does not have the metallic layer.
To improve the reception somewhat, it is recommended to put the porta le detector tohí.
Detection distances depend on many factors: installation and orientation of the detector,
configuration, type of radar, amount of traffic, interference, etc. But, a ove all, it depends on the
type of radar.
Considerations for the se of the KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II
Differences between a radar detector and a GPS radar warning?
The radar detector antenna , located inside the device, captures the existence of a radar y
receiving radio waves (Ghz) emitted y the radar.
The GPS radar warning , located inside the device, knows the position of the vehicle at all times and
also that of the fixed radars through the complete, careful and constantly updated data ase that is
incorporated. Therefore, it does not have to pick up the signal from a radar, nor detect it. When the
car approaches one of those points, the radar warning will warn you well in advance to slow down
thanks to its data ase. The effectiveness of a GPS radar warning device depends on the quality of
the data ase.
In the KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II the two technologies are combined, so its effectiveness is very high.
How does a radar sed by the police work?
The operation of a radar is as follows: This device emits high-frequency electromagnetic radiation
that is reflected off o jects. The frequency of this reflected radiation on a static o ject is different
from that reflected on a moving o ject and radars rely on this principle to calculate the speed of
the vehicle. This is known as the 'Doppler Effect'.
The only way to 'detect' these radar emissions is through so-called 'radar detectors', such as the
KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II Mo ile and Fixed Radar Detector.
RADAR WARNING VIA THE GPS OF THE KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II
In general, all fixed, section, traffic light and fixed varia le radars will e announced y GPS (photo
1, photo 2, photo 3).
In some cases, exceptionally, the antenna will also e detected, ut the GPS will warn you much
more in advance.

(Photo 1) (Photo 2)
The fixed A tovelox ( photo 3), are of transverse laser type ( ndetectable by any system) and,
therefore, will only e announced well in advance y means of the GPS warning.
(Photo 3)
Other radars that do not emit waves and that can only e prevented with the GPS warning are
induction and section radars:
Induction radars are located under the asphalt that calculate the speed of the vehicle when
passing over them, they are also used in traffic light radars (photo 4).
(Photo 4)
The section radars are two video cameras, with an optical license plate reading system, separated
y a fixed distance of X Km (photo 5). The system measures the time it takes for the vehicle to travel
the distance and calculates the average speed. This type of radars will e announced y your GPS.

RADARS DETECTED WITH THE DETECTOR ANTENNA
The detector antenna of the KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II detects radars that emit waves and use KA
ands in 34.3 and 35.5 Ghz and the and of the new Multaradar CD and CT, in addition to the K
and and the X and (It is recommended not to connect it since they do not exist in Spain and will
produce false alerts).
In Spain the KA and is used and they are of the Multanova 6F type, oth fixed and mo ile. In the
KAZA DM 480 DEFENDER II model, this factory and is activated as well as that of the new
Multaradar. See examples (photo 6).

RADARS NO DETECTED BY NINGUN ANTI-RADAR
A tovelox mobile and velolaser that work with a transverse road la . There are approximately 2% of
these radars. They can e identified if a car is o served on the shoulder with the glass ehind the
driver half-lowered (photo 7).
Sometimes the velolaser (central photo) if pointed from the front, the detector could detect them
later.
(Photo 7)
OTHER INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW
Sometimes, the antenna of your detector will not emit any alarm when passing in front of a radar.
This could e due to the following reasons:
1. The radar is off.
2. The radar is in a cali ration state.
3. The radar may have een sa otaged.
4. The mo ile radar is temporarily turned off ecause officers have stopped many vehicles and
are fining.
On these occasions the detector antenna will not emit alarms, ut it may receive warnings from the
GPS system of your device.
3. Interpretation of alarm warnings
The detector antenna s ddenly emits an almost contin o s tone and the vis al alarm is visible.
It is approaching a near y radar source. This situation requires immediate attention.
The detector antenna begins to so nd slowly, grad ally increasing the tone, the vis al alarm is
visible.
It is approaching a radar source aimed at its vehicle.
The detector antenna emits a weak signal and s ddenly so nds at peak intensity.
It is approaching a radar source ehind a mound or curve. Being hidden, the signal was detected
weakly. It will detect it with maximum intensity when it enters the field of vision of the radar.
The detector antenna emits short alarms for a few seconds.
It is approaching a radar source, or transmitting station, located far and out of its sight. They are
simple echoes of radio waves.
The detector antenna receives a brief laser-like alarm.
There is a laser emitter, pro a ly very close.

The detector antenna emits intermittent alerts for no apparent reason.
It is pro a ly an official vehicle with a radar emitting device circulating in front of your vehicle.
Radar signals are reflected off other vehicles and the radar detector picks up the echo. It may also
e that another vehicle carries a detector antenna and these detect each other.
The detector antenna warns KA band weakly and intermittently.
You are pro a ly driving in an area with radar sensors (remote controls for garage doors, urglar
alarms, mo ile phone repeaters, etc.)
The detector antenna warns M ltaRadar weakly and intermittently.
You are pro a ly driving in an area with radar sensors (remote controls for garage doors, urglar
alarms, mo ile phone repeaters, etc.)
The detector antenna so nds intermittently, passing thro gh the same place, b t there is apparently
no radar.
There is pro a ly an emission that produces a false alarm. With the use of the apparatus, you will
distinguish real alarms from false alarms.
The detector antenna does not appear to react to mobile radars.
Make sure that nothing interferes with the field of vision of the appliance and that the antenna
power supply is correct. Also verify that there is no mistakenly recorded radar jamming memory. Try
clearing the radar interference memory.
Radars are not always in operation. Note that they are periodically connected and disconnected.
The detector antenna does not warn me in advance of fixed radars.
Fixed radars installed on gantries and on the margins of roads (in ooths) are the most difficult to
detect. This is ecause they emit at very low intensity. To detect this type of fixed radars, the GPS
that incorporates your device is the est solution. The detector antenna is not designed for the
capture of fixed radars, although, exceptionally, it can detect them. For that there is the GPS that
incorporates the device that will warn you, in any case, in advance.
The detector antenna did not raise any alarm when it passed a police car.
They do not always have the radar active, especially if they already have a car stopped ahead.
Laser radar warnings.
Only porta le front-focus laser radars, not used in Spain, can e detected. Other transverse fixed
laser radars are undetecta le and will only e alerted y GPS.

5. Getting started with yo r comp ter
The factory val es that the eq ipment brings,are ideal for the standard operation of the
eq ipment in Spain and Port gal. If yo want to change something, read this man al caref lly
before doing so.
In the car:
1. Connect the adapter ca le to the car cigarette lighter and equipment.
2. Hold the detector y one of the methods provided, making sure it is facing forward and
as horizontal as possi le. Poor placement significantly reduces detections.
3. To connect the detector you must press the red utton on the car cigarette lighter
adapter. To disconnect it, perform the same operation.
6. Installation with s pplied brackets
Thesuction cups will e inserted into the device.
Stick the suction cups on the glass. To glue the suction cups, it is convenient to put the heating with
the defogging of the front glass for a while, if the glass is cold, they will not stick.
You can also use the non-slip mat on the dash oard.
Important notice:
For good detections, make s re the view of the detector is clear. Do not place the detector near
metal objects, it has to be facing forward and completely horizontal to the road. Be caref l not to
interfere with yo r car's windshield wipers.
