Before you begin installation, double check that the RDI

software card and connector cable are correct for your radar

detector. The RDI software card is pre-installed in the side of

the RADARnode transmitter. Always ensure that the

power is OFF before removing or inserting your RDI

software card.

Instal the RADARnode according to one of the wiring options

above.

4.1 Remove your Valentine power cord from your V1. Plug

the end of the Cheetah connector cable labelled “V1” into

your Valentine detector.

IMPORTANT - the Cheetah connector cable for the V1 must

be installed the correct way round. If the cable is inserted

the wrong way round it will not work.

4.2 Safely route the RDI connector cable from your V1 to the

RADARnode transmitter and plug it into the RADARnode

socket marked DETECTOR.

4.3 Plug your existing Valentine power cord into the POWER

IN socket on the RADARnode.

V1 menu items can be set according to personal preference.

IMPORTANT - If you add in a Valentine Concealed Display

or a Valentine Remote Audio Adapter, this standard pack

does not enable these Valentine remote displays to function

correctly. To make them work, you can purchase an extra

component called the Cheetah V1 Remote Adapter from our

website at www.SpeedCheetah.com and click on Accesso-

ries in the main menu.

8.1 Constant KU Band radar alert - RDI software card is

not correctly installed. It must be fully inserted into the slot on

the side of the RADARnode. Switch off power, then remove

the card and re-insert flush. Always ensure the power is

OFF before removing or inserting your RDI software card.

8.2 No wireless link symbol

Check the power connections to the RADARnode and V1.

7.1 Start-up tones - When you switch on your V1, it’s

start-up tones will trigger a brief K band and laser alert on

your Cheetah to confirm that the wireless link is operational.

To avoid this, switch on the V1 first, before your Cheetah.

7.2 Wireless link - A short time after you switch

on your detectors, you will see a small red wireless

symbol appear on the Cheetah GPS detector. This

shows that the wireless datalink is active and V1

alerts will be provided instantly.

7.3 Radar detector alerts - When your Valentine One picks

up a signal, a voice alert from your Cheetah will announce the

radar band being picked up.

Warning tones are also given for the duration of an alert.

There are different warning tones for each radar / laser band.

The Cheetah detector will continue alerting for as long as the

V1 does. A confirmation "chirp" signals the end of an alert.

7.4 Ku band users (Europe) -Please note the V1 uses the

same audio tone for K and Ku bands. The RADARnode

listens to the audio, so therefore it will transmit a K band

warning for both K and Ku alerts.

7.5 Signal strength - Radar alerts on the Cheetah will ramp

up in 5 stages as the signal strength increases, from 1 tone

per second, up to 5 tones per second:

V1 display strength 1-2 is transmitted as signal strength 1

V1 display strength 2-4 is transmitted as signal strength 2

V1 display strength 4-5 is transmitted as signal strength 3

V1 display strength 5-6 is transmitted as signal strength 4

V1 display strength 7-8 is transmitted as signal strength 5

The actual alert given by your Cheetah may vary occasionally

from the V1 display as the RADARnode responds to the V1’s

AUDIO signal and NOT the display.

7.6 Radar Mute - During a radar alert, press button 3 to

mute the remainder of an alert.

7.7 City Mute during an alert - If you want to swap from

VOICE+TONE alerts to VOICE ONLY alerts (or vice versa)

during an alert, you still need to press button 4, but hold it

down for a little longer than normal, until you hear the voice

confirmation that the mode has changed.
