1.Introduction

Dear Rocky Mountain Radar Owner,

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the world’s most sophisticated radar/laser

detectors. The RMR-D550 is a completely integrated radar/laser detector which responds not

only to all the radar guns in use today, including “Stalker”, but also to the other latest

development in speed monitoring devices- the laser gun.

This model provides distinct visual and voice alerts to warn you of the presence of X, K,

and all kinds of Ka Band radar guns in the front and rear of you.

It also incorporates a new safety feature – Safety Alert(SA) and Safety Warning System(SWS).

This safety feature warns you of the presence of potential road hazards

by detecting signals from safety radar transmitting devices.

Note:

Important : The RMR-D550 is not designed to help you disobey the law. A defensive

driver always obeys the posted speed limit and legal driving methods.

Federal and Local Regulations

The FCC passed the Communications Act in 1934 to give all citizens the right to receive all

types of radio transmissions. The same radio frequencies used by police radar are also used by

other devices, such as automatic door openers, burglar alarms, and some amateur radio

equipment. Since the RMR-D550 is just a radio receiver tuned to a specific portion of the public

radio spectrum, it is protected under this act.

Some local, state, and federal regulations may prohibit the use of this detection device.

Please check with authorities regarding the use of this device before operating it.
