In response to the individual targeting nature of police
radar guns, any laser signal detected during this period will
override the Alert Off function.
Radar and Laser Signal Detection
When a radar or laser signal is detected, the Main Console
beeps at frequencies according to the detected signal
strength. Slower beeps indicate weak signal detection.
Rapid beeps indicate strong signal detection. Each radar
band or laser signal has its own distinct beep.
The LCD displays the detected radar band or laser signal and
the corresponding signal strength. There are four distinct
radar bands and one laser band as described below:
X band (
) - The oldest and least common police
radar band. Many automatic door openers and other
nuisance signals use this band. An X band reading has a
high probability of being a false alert. This band is ignored in
City No X Mode. However, a few remaining law enforcement
agencies still use this band, so be careful.
K band (
) - A common police radar band. There
is a moderate chance of this signal originating from a police
radar gun. Be aware.
Ka band (
) - The newest and a common police
radar band. There is a very high chance of this signal
originating from a police radar gun. Watch out!
Laser (
) - Growing in popularity among police
traffic enforcement. There is a very high chance of this
signal originating from a police laser gun. Watch out!
