  Controls and Features

  Optional Detector Configuration

Display Brightness

SHIFTER’s display brightness is automatically 
adjusted to suit ambient lighting conditions 
in your car. (The light sensor is located to 
the left of the Mute button on the Display 
Controller and may dim the display  
momentarily when accessing this button.)

Alert Indications – Audible

Since Laser signals are a possible threat no 
matter how weak, the SHIFTER ZR4 alerts 
you with a full continuous laser alert.

Alert Indications – Visual

Separate front and rear alert lamps (red 
LED’s) provide visual indication for 
incoming signals. 

 

Once a laser signal is received, the 

appropriate alert lamp (red LED) will 
begin to flash, indicating that a laser signal 
has been received, and that the SHIFTERS 
are transmitting back. 

 

If the manual shut off feature is 

engaged, the alert lamp (red LED) will 
switch to a solid “on” state, and will 
remain on until the sixty second timer has 
elapsed (see page 3 for more details).

Diagnostics

Your SHIFTER ZR4 comes complete with 

built-in self-diagnostic circuitry, and error 
indications.

 

During the start-up sequence, the 

SHIFTER display will make certain that all

components are connected and  
communicating properly.
 

On initial start-up, the power-on  

indicator (blue LED) will blink. During this 
time communications between the front 
SHIFTERS, Interface, and rear SHIFTER 
are tested. Finally, the Interface and 
Display communications are tested. If 
everything is working correctly, a double 
beep tone is given, and the power-on 
indicator will stop flashing and remain “on.”

Error Indications

The ZR4 will test each element of the 

system during the start-up sequence. If  
communications stop (i.e. cable is  
disconnected) an error message is given.

Front SHIFTER Error

 

If one, or both of the front-mounted 

SHIFTERS is not communicating properly,
the front LED on the display controller 
will remain on, and a double brap tone 
will be heard. This sequence will continue 
until the unit is turned off, indicating that 
service is required.

Rear SHIFTER Error

 

The ZR4 can be installed without the 

rear laser SHIFTER.

 

If the rear SHIFTER stops communi-

cating, or is not installed, the rear LED on 
the display controller will remain on 
approximately 5-10 seconds during start-
up, and a double brap tone is given. Once 
this sequence is complete, the rear LED on 
the display controller will turn off.

The new Laser SHIFTER ZR4 laser defense 

system can be integrated, or  “linked” to a 
PASSPORT or BELTRONICS radar and laser 
detector, creating the ultimate protection 
against radar and laser guns. Contact your 
local installer for details.

        Once the ZR4 Laser SHIFTER is linked 

to one of these detectors, all visual and 
audible alerts are generated through the 
detector, eliminating the use of the 
supplied display controller.

Start-Up Sequence

Once the ZR4 has been successfully 

installed, the detector will provide 
confirmation of this by displaying a “ZR4 
Shft” (factory default), “Zr4 Off,” or “Zr4 
Rec” message during its start-up sequence.

        If both the detector and the SHIFTER 
Display Controller are connected at the 

same time, both will go through a self-test. 

Once the self-test is complete, the Display 
Controller will go to “sleep,” relying on the 
detector’s display any visual information.
        If the SHIFTER Display Controller is 
connected, and the detector is turned off, 

the SHIFTER Display Controller will 
provide all visual indications from the 
SHIFTER ZR4.

How to change the ZR4’s setting using 

the detector

 

Once the detector is connected to the 

ZR4’s Interface module, you may change 
how the Laser SHIFTERS operate. Three 
options are available:  “Shft” (SHIFTERS 
On/factory default), “Rec” (received only), 
and “Off” (Laser SHIFTERS will not 
receive or transmit).

To change the factory default setting:

1

 

Enter the Program Mode or  

  Preferences on the detector. (see  
  detector owner’s manual for details)

2

 Press the REVIEW button until you  

  reach the “Bands” category.

3

 Select the Laser category.

4

 Press the CHANGE button to toggle  

  between “Zr4 SHFT,” “Zr4 REC,” and  
  “Zr4 OFF.”

5

 To leave the Program Mode or  

  Preferences, simply wait 8 seconds  
  without pressing any buttons.

Visual Laser Alerts

When a laser signal is received from the 

front, the detector will display “F Laser 
Shifter.”

        When a laser signal is received from 

the rear (with the rear SHIFTER installed) 
the detector will display “R Laser Shifter.”
