PRE-OPERATING INFORMATION
Youcan usethe RADARHAWK™TRAVELLER IIwithyour
hands-free ear piece or amplied speakers by connecting
your ear piece or speakers to the auxiliary audio jack of
the unit. You must have an ear piece or speakers with a
2.5mm (1/10˝) plug. If you have an ear piece or speakers
with dierent sized plug, use a 2.5mm adapter between the
plug and the jack. Please note that we do not provide ear
pieces, speakers, or 2.5mm adapters.
e RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II is designed to
operate on two AA alkaline batteries. To ensure maximum
performance, we advise that you should not use other battery
types. You may use AA alkaline rechargeable batteries.
However, the resulting battery life will be extremelly short
because of characteristics of rechargeable batteries.
Do not leave the RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II exposed
to extreme heat like strong sunlight. It can damage the unit
and battery.
Battery installation
1. Remove the battery compartment door at the bottom of
the unit when the unit is powered o.
2. Remove any old batteries (both batteries must be replaced
at the same time.).
3. Press down two fresh AA alkaline batteries into place,
observing the polarity indication inside the battery
compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment door.
5. Turn the unit on to verify correct battery installation.

Battery life
e RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II can provide
approximately 30~40 hours of battery life from two AA
alkaline batteries. Battery life is aected by many variables like
the conditions and brand of battery, the ambient temperature,
the number and strength of engaged signals, the duration of
reported alerts, the user interface mode you select, etc. e
approximate battery life we quote is based on our aging tests
in a shielded laboratory. Your specic conditions and the way
you use the RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II will result in
dierent battery life.
e RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II provides voice
announcements when function buttons are used, so that
you can know which function was actually activated.
However, for the purpose of extended battery life, the
RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II was designed to give
voice announcements only for the secondary functions
(language, voice, and tutorial) of each button which will
be less frequently used than the primary functions (city,
dim, and mute).
Low battery life indication
e RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II has a separate low
battery indication LED. It intermittently blinks with warning
alarms from the moment when there is about two to four
hours of remaining battery life.

PRE-OPERATING INFORMATION
Always keep the power cord (included in the package)
at the glove compartment of your vehicle and connect
power to the RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II from your
vehicle until you replace old batteries. is way you can
drive with the RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II always
on.
Auto power-o
In the event that you forget to turn o the RADARHAWK™
TRAVELLER II when you leave your vehicle, the
RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II has an automatic power-
o feature to conserve battery life. e RADARHAWK™
TRAVELLER II will automatically shut o when no signals
are detected for approximately 45 minutes. An obtrusive
audio and visual warning will conrm that the auto power-
o is about to happen. You can cancel auto power-o by
pressing any button while the audio and visual warning is
being displayed.
Turn o the RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II whenever
you leave your vehicle. Even a weak signal can cause
the RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II to remain on and
drain your batteries.

Mounting guidelines
e RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II can be mounted on
your windshield using the mounting bracket included in the
package.
• Mount on the windshield in a centered location that will
not obstruct the view of the driver and is within reach, so
the buttons can be easily accessed.
• Do not mount behind windshield wipers, metal surfaces,
ornaments, or mirrored sunscreen glass, as these aect
radar/laser signals. Tinted glass does not aect radar/laser
signal reception.
Conceal the RADARHAWK™ TRAVELLER II when
you leave your vehicle to prevent the and to minimize
the unit’s exposure to extreme temperatures, which can
temporarily impair performance.
