Detection

Signals Detected

The tables on the following pages show you the types of 

Signals

your detector

will detect, as well as the voice and visual alerts it provides for each of them.

Audio Alerts

In 

Voice Alert

mode you will first hear several tones, then a voice message

announcing the type of signal detected, followed by more tones. In 

Tone Alert

mode, you will hear the tones only.

In both 

Voice Alert

and 

Tone Alert

modes, a distinctly different alert tone is

used for each type of signal detected (including separate tones for each laser
signal). For X, K, Ka and Ku band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as 
you approach the signal source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful
information about the signal detected. (See responding to alerts on page 17.)

Visual Display

An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the DigiView Data
Display. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, you will also see from 1 to 5 vertical
bars, indicating the strength of the signal detected.
