Power Connector

RX55’s new power jack uses a telephone-
type connector. This new 6-pin connector
works with the included coiled cord, and
with our optional new SmartPlug.

The SmartPlug is a special power cord

that has a power-on indicator, a bright alert
light that warns of radar or laser, and a
convenient mute button right on the plug.

It’s the perfect addition for any car

where reaching the detector mute button
on the windshield is a stretch. And for
discreet night driving, put the RX55 in the
Dark Mode, and use the SmartPlug for your
visual alerts. Other drivers won’t know you
have a detector.

Two versions are available: A SmartPlug

that plugs into your lighter socket and has a
coiled cord, and a Direct-wire SmartPlug
module that you wire into your electrical
system, with an 8 foot straight cord to route
to your RX55.

us toll-free at 1-800-341-2288.

Signal Strength Meter 

RX55’s alphanumeric display consists of
280 individual LEDs, to provide an intuitive
ultra-bright display of signal strength and
text messages.

RX55’s standard bar-graph signal

strength meter only displays information on
a single radar signal. If there are multiple
signals present, the RX55’s internal
computer determines which is the most
important threat to show on the bar-graph
meter.

When RX55 detects radar, it displays

the band (X, K, or Ka), and a precise bar
graph of the signal strength. When RX55
detects a laser signal, the display will show
“Laser.”

NOTE: If you are operating the RX55 in

Dark mode, the display will not light when
a signal is detected – only the audio alert
will be heard.

VG2

If the VG2 band (Radar detector detector) is
turned on, VG2  units will be detected with
an audible and visual alert. Once detected,
the RX55’s internal oscillator will shut
down for a period of time, making it
undetectable. The RX55’s receiver will then
periodically turn back on to see if the VG2
unit is still present. If not, RX55 will return
to normal operation.

NOTE: With VG2 detection on, other

radar detectors could be detected as well.
