Introduction  
Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/radar  
detection. You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar  
detectors available. The LRD 6699SWS is a complete integrated  
laser/radar detector. It responds to the X-, K-, and Ka-SuperWideband  
radar guns in use today and also provides 360° detection of the latest  
speed monitoring system — the laser gun. And, the built-in Safety  
Warning System (SWS™) is capable of detecting hazardous warning  
signals transmitted on the K-band.  
The LRD 6699SWS provides distinct visual and audio alerts to warn you  
of the presence of X-, K-, and Ka-SuperWideband radar signals as well as  
IR laser signals. You can drive with confidence when you bring along the  
LRD 6699SWS.  
The LRD 6699SWS employs Super Stalker Technology (SST), a  
state-of-the-art electronic system designed to make this radar detector  
invisible to all current VG-2 radar detector detectors. The LRD 6699SWS  
also uses the new D.R.O. (Dielectric Resonant Oscillator) and E.D.I.T.  
(Electronic Data Interference Terminator) circuitry, giving more reliable  
performance.  
We are certain that you will enjoy the LRD 6699SWS, and to ensure that  
you get the most from its features, please read this Operating Guide  
carefully before installing and operating the unit.

Speed Detection Systems  
A speed detection device (often called a radar gun) sends out either a  
microwave signal or beam of light. When this signal reaches its target,  
part of the signal is reflected or bounced back toward the emitting gun.  
The time required for the signal to leave the gun, bounce off an object,  
and return is used to determine a vehicle’s distance and speed.  
Radar  
Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a microwave system for  
detecting the speed of moving objects by reflected pulses of high  
frequency radio waves. There are three radar bands (microwave  
frequencies): X-band (10.49 to 10.56GHz), K-band (24.04 to 24.26 GHz),  
and the “SuperWide" Ka-band (33.4 GHz to 36 GHz).  
The X-band was the first used for traffic, followed by the K-band which  
is harder to detect (most instant-on radar is K-band). The Ka-band was  
introduced in 1987, and widened to Ka-SuperWideband in 1990 by the  
FCC. The LRD 6699SWS monitors all current radar bands including the  
entire Ka-SuperWideband.  
The radar beam is cone shaped — the narrower the beam, the greater the  
resolution. A moving vehicle reflects radar signals back towards the radar  
gun. The LRD 6699SWS can detect the signals emitted by radar guns,  
and it will sound an audio alarm and flash a warning indicator.  
For continuously transmitting radar, use the LRD 6699SWS to get  
accurate detection from a safe distance. Weak signals cause the audio and  
visual alarms to sound intermittently, but as the signal gets stronger (the  
closer you get to the radar gun), both alarms increase in intensity.  
Instant-on transmitters fire a short radar pulse beam at a vehicle and  
instantly read its speed. When detected at a distance, you will hear a few  
beeps and see the strength meter begin to light. Instant-On radar signals  
are the most difficult to detect at a safe distance because they are  
transmitted only when directed at you or at a vehicle directly ahead of  
you.

Laser  
The Laser Speed Detection System, also called LIDAR (for Light  
Detection and Ranging), uses a laser gun that emits infrared light pulses  
just outside the spectrum of visible light. Each reflected pulse measures  
the speed of the object coming toward, or going away from, the laser gun.  
Unlike radar, the laser gun emits a very narrow beam of light, so it can  
pinpoint a speeding car within traffic. The infrared beam spreads out, but  
slowly and over a longer distance than a radar signal.  
The laser gun can acquire a speed reading as quickly as 0.3 seconds,  
sometimes less. However, since it isn’t easy to accurately aim at and hit a  
moving target, an operator often moves the laser gun in several directions  
to get a reading. So laser signals are emitted continuously for a few  
seconds for each speed measurement. The LRD 6699SWS can detect  
these light pulses from as far away as 1.5 miles, which is about four times  
the effective range of a laser gun (2,000 feet), and about ten times its  
average operating range (500-800 feet).  
Note: To be safe, do not ignore any warnings. Although there are other  
types of radar signals that may cause interference, when the  
LRD 6699SWS detects a signal, be on the alert. It is important to  
exercise caution at all times.

Installation  
The LRD 6699SWS uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna and IR  
laser sensor to receive radar/laser signals. Its sensitivity and range depend  
on the method of installation and the direction of the antenna/sensor in  
relation to the signal source. The inherent nature of radar waves makes  
them reflect off metallic surfaces. This is why these waves are so useful  
for measuring the speed of a vehicle. The IR laser light may reflect only  
from shiny surfaces. Both radar waves and IR laser light will, however,  
pass through plastic or glass.  
Before you decide where to put your radar detector, please keep in mind  
these two important factors:  
For safety, do not mount the LRD 6699SWS in a location where it  
will obstruct your driving vision.  
Most vehicles have the top part of the windshield tinted. Mounting  
the LRD 6699SWS behind tinted or mirrored glass may reduce the  
effectiveness of laser detection by reducing the amount of laser light  
received by the Detector.  
Helpful Tips  
The antenna and the forward looking sensor  
are located behind the rear panel of the unit,  
(and the rear- and side-looking sensors are  
located on top of the unit), directly behind the  
mode selection keys. The antenna and  
sensors should not be obstructed by metal or  
metallic surfaces and should be pointed at the  
horizon for accurate long-range detection.  
Do not mount the unit behind the windshield wiper blades, radio  
antenna, tinted glass area, or mirrored glass. Be sure the unit is free  
from obstruction by seat backs, rear view mirror, sun visors, or the  
ceiling of the automobile.  
Do not mount the unit in front of the heater or defroster vents.  
Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or in the glove compartment of  
a closed car for long periods of time, as extreme changes in  
temperature may cause internal damage. Also, removing the unit from  
the windshield makes you less susceptible to break-in and theft.

2.  
The metal portion of the bracket locks into the plastic portion at  
three different positions. These positions can be used for vehicles  
with different vertical windshield angles. The back position can be  
used for vehicles with windshields that are slanted back.  
For optimum laser detection, bend the angled portion of the  
windshield mounting bracket so that the LRD 6699SWS is parallel  
to the road surface. Be sure the LRD 6699SWS is mounted so it is  
free of obstructions from seat backs, rear view mirror, sun visors,  
or the ceiling of the automobile. There must be a clear 360° line of  
sight to the outside of the vehicle.  
To mount the LRD 6699SWS:

Operation  
You are now ready to enjoy the convenience and security of your  
LRD 6699SWS. Please read this section of the Operating Guide carefully  
to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of this unit.  
Power On  
Turn the Volume Control switch to turn power on. Once the Power-On  
alert sounds, your LRD 6699SWS performs a six second self-test of all  
circuits. The X-band alert sounds for two seconds while the Three-Color  
LED illuminates red, and the Signal Meter LED lights. Next you will  
hear the K-band, Ka-Super Wideband, Laser, and SWS alerts for one  
second each. (The corresponding Three-Color LED, City/Highway,  
Audio/Dimmer, and Mute indications also light.)  
After the self-test, your detector sets the modes which were used last. If  
this is the first time you have used your LRD 6699SWS, it should be set  
for HWY use, and both the AUDIO and MUTE modes should be off.  
If you experience any of these problems:  
Settings do not display  
The unit turns on and off intermittently  
An alert sounds too often for no reason  
Check to make sure both ends of the power cord are tightly secured. If the  
problems continue, refer to page 20, “Troubleshooting” for more  
information.  
Volume Control  
Adjust the Volume to a  
comfortable announcement/  
alarm tone level for your  
vehicle. The volume level  
does not have any effect on  
the unit’s sensitivity.

Full Warning  
When the LRD 6699SWS detects a radar, laser, or safety warning signal,  
it emits a distinct warning tone. The corresponding X-, K-, Ka-Super  
Wideband, Laser, or SWS indication display along with the  
corresponding red, green or amber Three-Color LED. For radar, as the  
signal gets stronger, more signal strength LEDs light.  
Note: The alert tones for the radar, laser, and SWS are all different.  
The Safety Warning System  
The Uniden Safety Warning System™ (SWS) is a new communication  
system which will provide you with an early warning message when a  
road hazard exists. The LRD 6699SWS is capable of detecting SWS  
signal broadcasts on the K-band by either law enforcement or local  
departments of transportation.  
You will receive several indications when an SWS warning is received.  
The three-color LED on the left part of the display turns amber, an alert  
sounds, and a message appears on the 8-digit screen.  
Since some warning messages exceed the screen’s display length, your  
detector is designed to scroll messages with more than 8 characters. Also,  
during an alert, certain conditions can cause warning indications to be  
different from those you’ll usually get. These special indications are  
listed below:  
If your detector receives a message but cannot determine its content,  
the message “SAFETY WARNING MESSAGE” is displayed.  
Similarly, if an incomplete message is received or if the signal is  
interrupted during an alert, the 8-character display begins to flash.  
The display stops flashing once the full message is received or the  
SWS signal is reacquired.  
Important: Your unit only displays safety warning messages when it  
receives signals from an active Safety Warning System  
transmitter.

Memory Retention Feature  
The Memory Retention Feature retains the LRD 6699SWS’s operational  
settings in memory for at least two days without power. When you turn  
on the LRD 6699SWS, it will be in the same mode as when you turned it  
off.  
Audio/Dimmer Operation  
Press the AUDIO button to select one of the following modes:  
DIMMER mode – dims your detector’s display. A “D” is displayed to  
indicate this mode.  
AUDIO mode – turns your detector’s display off. An “A” is  
displayed to indicate this mode.  
(The mode indications ( CITY, AUDIO, or MUTE) remain on.)  
Note: Do not set the Volume control at minimum while in this  
mode because you’ll disable both alert types–visual  
and audio.  
NORMAL mode – is the normal display mode.

City/Highway Operation  
In highly populated areas, you may encounter many devices that use the  
same frequencies as radar signals, such as motion detectors, automatic  
doors, and intrusion alarms. These devices may trigger an effect called  
“falsing.”  
Press the CITY button to change between Highway or City mode:  
CITY mode – filters most of the weaker radar signals and  
significantly reduces “falsing.” In this mode, the combination of  
visual and audio alert tones varies based on the strength of the signal  
received. “CTY” is displayed to indicate this mode.  
HIGHWAY mode – has a lower signal threshold, which simply  
means it doesn’t filter out weaker signals. Your detector will be more  
sensitive to distant signals, but it also is more likely to “false.” Since  
radar use declines significantly outside heavily populated areas, this  
mode provides better long range detection while traveling long  
distances. “HWY” is displayed to indicate this mode.  
Note: If you use both Mute mode and City modes, you won’t receive an  
alert until you are very close to the radar source.

LED Signal Strength Meter in City Mode  
The LED signal strength meter gives you instant information about the  
strength of the signal being detected. A weak signal causes the first LED  
to light, but as signal strength increases, additional LEDs light. All LEDs  
light when a full-strength signal is received. Use this meter to judge the  
distance from the signal source.
