H.A.R.D. F.A.Q
1.
In 30 words or less, can you explain what the H.A.R.D.
System does and why it is worth $160.00 plus $5 shipping
and handling?
2. What
makes up the H.A.R.D. System?The H.A.R.D. System is made up of two
devices. One is a miniature transmitter that plugs into your radar
detector. The second device is a wireless receiver that is small
enough to fit inside your helmet nestled between your padding.
3.
What is the size and other details of the transmitter?
4.
You say the transmitter 'plugs into the your radar detector.'
Where and how does everything get power
5.
Back up there captain, you said RJ11 jack. Is that like a phone
jack?
6.
Since the H.A.R.D. transmitter now uses the same power supply
as the detector, should I be worried about excessive power draw
from the motorcycle's electrical system?
7.
You say there are no modifications to the radar detector. How
then does your transmitter get a signal to trigger and send a
warning signal to the receiver?Excellent question. That is one
of the reasons why we have been issued a patent for our design.
We would love to give out the details but that would make it
that much easier for those people, not creative enough to invent
this on their own, to copy our product. Be assured that the warning
signal that is presented on the actual screen of the radar detector
takes only milliseconds to be sent to the H.A.R.D. receiver.
8.
Back to the modification issue. I understand there are no modifications
to the bike or radar detector. But how can I put a receiver in
my helmet and not have to modify it?
9.
What is the size and other details of the receiver?
10.
So let me make sure I understand all this correctly. The transmitter
simply plugs into the radar detector. I use the same power cord
for both units. The receiver is small enough to fit inside my
helmet and there are no modifications for this either?
11.
And the H.A.R.D. System is wireless? All this sounds to good
to be true.
12.
Cute. Let's try to stay focused. What kind of warranty comes
with the H.A.R.D. System?
13.
Got any pictures of the H.A.R.D. System?
14.
What about the weather. Is the H.A.R.D. System waterproof?
1.
In 30 words or less, can you explain what the H.A.R.D.
System does and why it is worth $150.00 plus $5 shipping and
handling? Yes. H.A.R.D. provides
immediate notification of radar without the rider taking
his eyes off the road. The price is less than two average
speeding tickets. It is wireless too! (That was only 28 words
and 1 acronym.)

3. What is the size and other details
of the transmitter?
The transmitter is part one of the two part H.A.R.D. System. This
device simply plugs into the side of your radar detector, in the power port (must
be the RJ11 jack), and then you plug the power cord into the transmitter. Simple. No
batteries. No modifications. Whenever your detector sends an alert,
the H.A.R.D. transmitter
sends this same alert instantly to the receiver inside your helmet. We
have designed the transmitter to look attractive whether it is plugged
into an Escort or Valentine unit. Dimensions are approximately 1.5L x 1.25W
x .80H (figures in inches).

You say the transmitter 'plugs into the your radar detector.'
Where and how does everything get power?The radar detectors
we are compatible with use the RJ11 jack as a power input jack
(this type of jack is also known as a phone jack or
modular jack). The H.A.R.D. transmitter
plugs into the radar detector's power port and then the power supply
cord that would normally plug into the detector now plugs into the H.A.R.D. transmitter.
The receiver is powered by a single lithium battery just like
in your watch and are readily available at most stores.

Back up there captain, you said RJ11 jack. Is that like a
phone jack?Yes. The RJ11
jack is just like the jack used on most household phones. This is a very
important fact for only the latest, more advanced detectors use this
type of jack. Those detectors are the Valentine One, Escort models 8500,
7500, and 6800 windshield mounted detectors. Recently, Escort
introduced the S-2. This detector can use a power cord or be operated
using batteries. If you power the S-2 using a power cord,
it is compatible with the H.A.R.D. System. If using
the S-2 in battery mode, it will not work with our system.

Since the H.A.R.D. transmitter now uses the same power supply
as the detector, should I be worried about excessive power draw
from the motorcycle's electrical system?No. The H.A.R.D. transmitter
uses minimal power and no special changes have to be made to
the electrical system. The same power cord that you use
for powering the detector will now power both the detector and
the H.A.R.D. System
transmitter.

Back to the modification issue. I understand there are no
modifications to the bike or radar detector. But how can
I put a receiver in my helmet and not have to modify it? We
have designed the H.A.R.D. receiver
to be small enough to fit between the pads inside a helmet. We
recommend placing the small receiver unit in the lower
padding then running the twelve (12) inch warning indicator
cord, containing the LED warning light, behind the cheek
pad. This acts as a friction fit and holds all the components
inside the helmet. We will be including pieces of Velcro
with the H.A.R.D. System
for we understand some helmets have more padding than others.
The receiver weighs just ounces so Velcro will hold it
in place. You can also mount the receiver unit on the bottom
side of the helmet padding and still run the warning indicator
cord behind he cheek pad.

What is the size and other details of the receiver?
The receiver is the second part of the H.A.R.D. System. When the receiver
gets a signal from the transmitter, the signal is processed and illuminates the
vivid LED light located in the peripheral area of the rider's line of sight. The
receiver is small in order to easily nestle between the helmet pads. Dimensions
are approximately 2.0L x 1.28W x .5H (figures in inches). From one end of the
receiver extends a twelve (12) inch cord that holds the LED light at the end. Run
the cord behind the helmet pads and you are ready to go! Again, simple
design with no modifications needed. We have estimated the average installation
time for both units to be between 23 and 26 seconds.

And the H.A.R.D. System is wireless? All this sounds to good to be
true.It
is. You are dreaming. You also have just won the Isle of Man
race by 10 laps. Because of your total domination of the track,
once you cross the finish line the track will be converted into
a school bus driving course. The three girls from the old ZZ
Top 'Legs" video sweep you away into a private jet (BTW -
the three girls are on the same drugs as Dick Clarke and they haven't
aged one day since making the video). When the jet lands you are back
on your private island where a crowd of your 500 closest friends inform
you that you are Time's Man of the Year and the Pope has blessed your
motorcycle. It is now the 'Official Vatican Two Wheeled God Mover.' While
your head is spinning with all this activity, you hear the voice of your
cranky neighbor. 'Hey, get this @#$%*&# motorcycle off my lawn.'
I just had the Chemlawn guy here and it is leaking oil.' You have been
startled out of your backyard hammock and run to move your bike. But
when you get to the bike, you see something plugged into your radar detector.
It is the H.A.R.D. System. Some dreams do come true.

Cute. Let's try to stay focused. What kind of warranty comes with
the H.A.R.D. System?If someone places
a deposit of any amount, they can receive a full refund prior to the H.A.R.D. System
shipping. No questions asked. Once a person receives the H.A.R.D. System,
they have 90 days to return the product if they simply 'don't like it.'
A one (1) year warranty covers the entire system. If at any time the
product fails or breaks under normal use conditions, we will replace
the component(s) with a new unit. Again, no questions asked.

13. Got any pictures of the H.A.R.D.
System?
Yes, please click on the link to the right. - See

What about the weather. Is the H.A.R.D. System waterproof? No.
We considered making the H.A.R.D. System waterproof. However,
there are no waterproof radar detectors. Didn't make much sense
making a portion of the overall solution waterproof. Kind of like
standing naked in the rain wearing waterproof gloves.
