USER’S MANUAL
R8
R8 OVERVIEW
Uniden’s R8
is a top of the line Radar Detector with a built-in GPS feature. With
the R8, you can mark geographical points where you commonly encounter radar
transmissions. These can be school zones, red-light cameras, and places where police
frequently monitor traffic. You can mark these points so the detector will announce
“User mark ahead” when you approach them. Among other announcements, the
Voice Notification feature lets you know when you are approaching a radar and what
type of radar it is (red light, speed, etc).

INSTALL AND TURN ON R8
You can mount the R8 on the windshield (1- and 2-cup suction brackets included) or
on the dashboard (hook and loop tape included).
- 13 -
INSTALL/POWER ON
Windshield
When you mount the R8 on the windshield, mount it in the middle of the windshield
between the driver and passenger. Be sure there are no obstructions and that there
is a clear view through the windshield.
1. Attach the rubber suction cups to the bracket and push the cups firmly onto the
windshield.
2. Slide the unit onto the bracket until it clicks into place.
3. Plug the power cord RJ11 connector into the R8 and plug the cigarette lighter
adapter into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
4. When the vehicle turns on, the R8 automatically turns on and runs through a
self test cycle.
Release the R8 from the bracket by pressing the
Eject
key on top of the detector.
Dashboard
The same types of mounting requirements for the windshield apply for mounting the
unit on the dashboard.
1. Attach the unit to the dashboard using the hook and loop fastener tape.
Be careful not to cover any air vent holes with the hook and fastener tape.
2. Plug the power cord RJ11 connector into the R8 and plug the cigarette lighter
adapter into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
3. When the vehicle turns on, the R8 automatically turns on and runs through a
self test cycle.
Pull the unit from the dashboard, separating the hook and loop tape.
GPS CONNECT
When the R8 powers on, it starts receiving GPS data. When it receives GPS data, it
announces “GPS Connected” and displays the following:

ALLOCATING MEMORY
The R8 allows 2000 memory points to be shared between Mute Memory points and
User marks. The default allocation is 1000 points each; the most one category can
have is 1750 with the other category having a maximum of 250 at the same time.
Change this allocation through the Memory Quota menu.
The Memory Quota menu lets you allocate memory in 50 point blocks. For example,
if you want to add 50 points to Mute Memory, those 50 points are deducted from
User Marks. This creates a balancing effect between the two.
1. Select Memory Quota from the
main menu. The Memory Quota
screen displays. The bottom line is
the starting allotment; the middle
line is the line that changes as you
increase/decrease allotments. The
number in parentheses indicates
the number used; for example,
the user has used 100 Mute
Memory points out of 250.

AUTO MUTE/AUTO MUTE VOLUME
When the R8 detects a signal, it sounds an alarm at the current volume level for three
seconds. After 3 seconds, R8 changes the volume level to the Auto Mute Volume level
set in the Menu (see page 23).
Regardless of how high Auto Mute may be set, it will never be at a higher level than
the actual volume level. For example, if the volume is set to level 5 and Auto Mute
Volume is set to level 7, Auto Mute will keep the volume at level 5, the same as the
actual volume level.
Auto Mute ends 10 seconds after the alarm ends unless:
• The same signal is detected within that 10 second period; then, Auto Mute stays
on.
• A different band signal is detected during that 10 second period; then, Auto Mute
turns off and then back on at the current volume level.
Auto Mute does not apply to Laser Alert.
LOW BATTERY
The R8 alerts every 30 minutes when the car battery voltage is under 11 Volts. It
announces Low Battery and displays a Low Battery alert.

MODES (HIGHWAY, CITY, AUTO, AND ADVANCED)
Uniden’s R8 radar detector operates in two different frequency (X, K, and Ka band)
sensitivity modes - Highway and City. Highway mode is the most sensitive, with
maximum detection ranges while on the highway or open road. City is on the lower
end of the detection scale for city driving. City mode reduce sensitivity so that false
signals (such as from automatic door openers) are filtered out.
Under factory default conditions (X band = off on all modes, K and Ka bands = on),
the band sensitivities are:
• Highway: X, K, and Ka bands full sensitivity.
• City: X and K bands sensitivity reduced; Ka band full sensitivity.
• Auto: Auto mode will switch the R8 between Highway and City depending on the
Auto City Speed menu setting (see page 14). If the driving speed is over the
Auto City Speed setting, R8 operates in Highway mode. If it is below the set speed,
R8 operates in City mode. Sensitivity is the same as Highway and City settings.
If GPS is not connected, R8 automatically operates in Highway mode.
• Advanced: Adjust the sensitivity level for each band.
1. Press MENU. The current level and mode display.
2. Press MENU to scroll through the modes and select Advanced mode.
3. Press VOL+ to scroll through the Bands and then press MENU to adjust the
desired band in 10% increments.

5. Press VOL+ to return to the MENU.
If a band is turned off through the menus, it is off in all modes.
MUTE MEMORY
Use Mute Memory to mute known areas of false alarms (such as department store
automatic doors). The R8 remembers where you muted the audio (GPS location) and
the frequency you muted. It will automatically mute when you travel to that location
and the saved frequency is detected; however, if a different frequency is detected,
the R8 alerts to that different frequency.
When you press
MUTE/DIM
or the
MUTE
button on the power cord to mute audio
for a specific location, Mute On displays. While Mute On displays, press
MUTE/DIM
or the
MUTE
button on the power cord again to save that GPS location to memory.

rader signal is designated as the Priority signal, and its frequency displays on the
OLED. Alert Display #3 also displays the second strongest signal on the OLED. The
other signals (threats) are indicated in the left side of the display. In the following

USER
MARKS (LASER AND RADAR SITES)
With the R8, you can mark geographical points where you commonly encounter
radar transmissions, These can be school zones, red-light cameras, and places where
police frequently monitor traffic.
When you are at the location, press MARK. The R8 announces “User mark logged.”
Now, when you approach these points, the R8 announces “User mark ahead.”
If there is already a User Mark within a 1,666 ft (508m) radius, you cannot save
that specific location as a new User Mark.
Press and hold MARK at that location to delete that user mark.
The R8 registers up to 2,000 marks split between mute memory marks and user
marks. These marks are split at 1750 maximum and 250 minimum between the two
mark types.
USER SPEED LIMIT
When you set a speed limit thorough the menus, the R8 sends an alarm tone if your
speed exceeds that speed limit setting. If that happens, the unit announces and
displays over speed warnings.
MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING THE EQUIPMENT
The R8 requires very little physical maintenance. Wipe it with a soft cloth to keep
dust from accumulating. Check the power cord connections to keep them clean and
free of corrosion.
UPDATING THE FIRMWARE/DATABASE
Uniden recommends that you update your firmware and database periodically. Go
to uniden.com, find your model, and check if you have the latest firmware.
