Technical Details
INTERPRETING ALERTS
Although the
V945
is a comprehensive
warning system and this handbook is as
complete as we can make it, only
experience will teach you what to expect
from your
V945
and how to interpret
what it tells you. The specific type of radar
being used, the type of transmission
(continuous or instant-on) and the location
of the radar source affect the radar alerts
you receive.
The following examples will give you
an introduction to understanding the
V945
’s warning system for radar, laser and
safety alerts.
EXPLANATION
You are approaching a continuous radar
source aimed in your direction.
An instant-on radar source is being used
ahead of you and out of your view.
An instant-on radar source or laser source is
being used nearby. This kind of alert
requires immediate attention!
Laser is being used in the area. Because laser
is inherently difficult to detect, any laser
alert may indicate a source very close by.
ALERT
The
V945
begins to sound slowly, then
the rate of alert increases until the alert
becomes a solid tone. The Signal Meter
ramps accordingly.
V945
emits short alerts for a few seconds
and then falls silent only to briefly alert and
fall silent again.
V945
suddenly sounds a continuous tone
for the appropriate band received. All
segments in the Signal Strength Meter are lit.
A brief laser alert.
