Rocky Mountain Radar Scrambler - Manual (Page 4)

IS IT LEGAL?
The Rocky Mountain Radar scramblers conform to all FCC
rules and regulations. Part 15 of the FCC code regulates
consumer products that may leak or transmit radio frequency
energy into the atmosphere. Since the scramblers are not
transmitters, these sections do not apply.
The radar scrambler is a reflective receiver and has no
emissions. It does not transmit, but uses the police radar gun’s
own signal as a carrier of its information.
The laser scrambler transmits a series of light pulses. There are
no laws regarding the transmission of invisible light.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Rocky Mountain Radar scramblers are designed to give
you radar and laser scrambling from the front half of the
car.
Can I test it with roadside trailer radars?
The trailers you see on the side of the road that show your speed
are not legal to use to write tickets. They do not contain the
sophisticated sampling computers that are in police radar guns.
Since our units confuse the computer and there is none, they
will not work reliably against the trailers.
Can the police detect it?
The radar and laser scramblers do not have RF emissions and
cannot be detected.
What states are they legal in?
The Rocky Mountain Radar scramblers are not legal in
Colorado, Utah, California, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Minnesota
(unless the switchable scrambler feature is set to off) and
Virginia. The Rocky Mountain Radar detectors are not legal in
commercial vehicles in most states. Use caution in these states.
What is Punch-Through?
The signal reflected by the car gets stronger the closer the target
is to the radar gun. The Rocky Mountain Radar scrambler uses
the radar signal as a carrier and reflects it through a high-gain
antenna. It will work only as long as the scrambling signal is
greater than the signal from the target. Punch-through is when
these signals are equal or within 50-200 feet.
What is the effective range?
The radar scrambler works at four to six times the range of the
radar gun. The laser scrambler is effective at more than two
times the Lidar range.
Important information:
When driving in states that ban scramblers – turn off
the scrambler function. Detectors are legal in all states
except Virginia and Washington D.C. With the
scrambler off, this unit is only a detector.
