Introduction
Thank you for purchasing MRD-1000 radar&laser detector.
The MRD-1000 with VCO technology is a radar&laser detector, which detects not only X, K, and
Ka superwide band signals, also laser signals.
The MRD-1000 contains visual and audio alerts which warn you of X, K, and Ka superwide
band radar signals as well as laser signals in front of you.
The MRD-1000 has the technology, which makes it undetectable to the interceptor VG-2 and
helps prevent false alarms caused by signals from other radar detectors.
Note: Laws of some area may prohibit the use of a Radar detector. Please check with laws in
your area before use of this device. It is your responsibility to abide by laws.

2. Description of Features
(1) Memory Retention
Anytime MRD-1000 is turned off or unplugged from the cigarette jack socket, all
operating mode you have selected are retained in the memory. When the
MRD-1000 turned on again, it is reinstated in MRD-1000’s former mode.
(2) City Button
The city mode has been designed to reduce unwanted audio alerts caused by
non-traffic radar systems such as intrusion alarms, automatic door openers, microwave
traffic signal controllers, and older or poorly-shielded detectors of other vehicles. X
band radar signals from non-traffic radar system are frequently encountered in urban
and sub-urban areas, MRD-1000 will produce no audio alert only with Band Indicator
LED’s blinking at this mode. Since non-police signals are weak, making use of the city
mode allows you to drive out of their signal range without audio alert before they reach
the already setting signal level. But, police radar signals are generally stronger and will
exceed the already setting signal level, they will produce audio alert with Band
Indicator LED’s blinking. To select the city mode, press City Button with beep until the
city mode Indicator LED turns on. In contrast, to select the highway mode, press City
Button with beep until the city mode Indicator LED turns off.
(3) Dim Button
Dim Button provides 4-levels selections of brightness. Each time Dim Button is
pressed with beep, the Indicator LED will cycle through 4-levels brightness. Use of
the Dim Button has no effect on audio alerts.
(4) Mute Button
To silence the MRD-1000, press mute button with beep provides muting of audio
alerts and turn mute LED on. Pressing mute button again, MRD-1000 turns audio
alert mode on and mute LED off.

3. Interpretation of Alert
Description of LED ( Reference: Profile of Feature No (9) )
(1) Radar Alert (X, K, Ka Band)
When MRD-1000 receives radar signal, the following will be occurred:
1) Different audio alerts will be provided for X, K, and Ka band radar
signals. The beep sounds will be faster and faster as the radar signal gets
stronger.
2) The different Band Indicator LED will turn on or blink in unison with the
different audio alert.
3) The Signal Strength LEDs will blink as the strength of signals.
Ex) Visual Alert (at X Band)
Strength 1: POWER is on, and X is blinking
Strength 2: POWER and X are on, and P1 is blinking
Strength 3: POWER and X are on, then P1 and P2 can be automatically
blinked
(2) Laser Alert
When MRD-1000 receives laser signal, all of Band Indicator LEDs are blinking with
siren wailing during 4 seconds.
(3) VG-2 Guard Alert
MRD-1000 provides VG-2 GUARD ALERT making it undetectable to the
Interceptor VG-2. When MRD-1000 receive VG-2 signal, all of Indicator LEDs are
blinking twice with siren wailing and are turned on. After leaving VG-2 signal area,
MRD-1000 automatically returns to normal after 10 seconds. To return to normal
intentionally, you have to press Mute Button.

If the detector gives a false alert when the vehicle hits bumps:
◉Check the vehicle’s electrical system, including main battery cable and alternator
connections.
If the receiving signal is weak:
◉Check the angle of detector. Point to the horizon.
◉Radar detector antenna and laser sensor is obstructed.
Relocate the detector clear of any obstruction outside the windshield, such as a
wiper blade.
◉Relocate the detector clear of window.
◉Determine whether your vehicle has an electric clear or it is covered with a metallic
sun screen.
