COMPONENTS 

Your RMR-8RDS remote consists of the following components: 
(1) Control module 
   (1) Velcro Tape for control module 
(1) Front Antenna for Radar and Laser detection 
   (1) Mounting Bracket for Front Antenna 
   (1) Dual Lock Tape for Front Antenna 
   (2) Special Screw for installation of the bracket with antenna 
   (10) Washer Screws for mounting the bracket 
   (10) Cable Tie 
   (1) Coiled 12V DC Power cord 
(2) Scrambler modules with Laser detection (identical) 
   (2) Dual Lock Tape for scrambler modules 
(1) Owners Manual 
(1) Ticket Registration Booklet 

 
Before  installation  do  a  preliminary  layout  of  the  modules 
and cables for proper fit and length of cables. 
 

INSTALLATION 

Complete, sign, and mail Ticket Rebate Registration card. 
NOTE:  It  is  very  important  that  the  power  on  the  Control 
Panel is not on while you plug and unplug the modules. 
  

Front Antenna 

It is very important that the front antenna is mounted properly. 
Determine  the  best  location  for  the  front  antenna.  The  optimal 
location  for  mounting  the  front  antenna  depends  on  the 

vehicle’s  type.  In  most  vehicles  the  best  mounting  location  is 
directly  behind  the  grill  through  the  slot  openings.  It  should 
have  a  clear  view  of  the  road  ahead.  Other  locations  that

 

provide  concealment  and/or  protection  of  the  antenna  may  be 
acceptable. 
Using  the  supplied  mounting  bracket,  mark  location  and  drill 
pilot holes in the vehicle if necessary. 
Fit the mounting bracket using the washer screws. 
Verify the lens of the front antenna has a clear view of the road 
ahead. 
You can use the included Dual Lock tape to attach the mounting 
bracket.  Thoroughly  clean  any  surface  before  the  tape  is 
applied. 
 

Front Scrambler 

It is very important that the scrambler is mounted properly. The 
scrambler  scrambles  the  radar  and  laser  signals  received  from 
the front and detect laser signals. 
 
Determine  the  best  location  for  the  scrambler.  For  optimum 
performance,  install  the  scrambler  on  either  side  of  the  front 
license plate on the bumper or in the front grill area.  
 
Using  the  built  in  mounting  bracket,  mark  location  and  drill 
pilot holes in the vehicle if necessary. 

NOTE: 
DO NOT

 drill holes in the front antenna or scrambler modules.
