Pop Radar Guns

The Pop mode 

Radar Gun

is a single pulse Doppler radar that is a feature 

of a K and Ka (Bee III Ka radar gun) band Instant-On radar gun. It uses a
single short time pulse to measure the target vehicle’s speed. Despite the fact
that the short, single pulse makes the unit very sensitive to officer hand and
vehicle movement and reduces the range of the gun in Pop mode to 50% of
its range in Continuous Wave mode, this feature is added in an attempt to
make the radar gun invisible to Radar Detectors. 

Although your detector can sense Pop signals beyond the effective range 
of Pop radar guns, there will be a signal to sense only if a gun is triggered. 
In addition, the Pop mode receiver section is more prone to false alerts
because of its extra sensitivity. This is especially so in urban areas. As a
result, you should consider using the Pop Detect mode only in highway 
and rural situations. Cobra Electronics has included a user selectable on 
or off Pop Detect mode.

Maintenance

Maintenance of Your Radar Detector

Your detector is designed and built to give you years of trouble-free
performance without the need for service. No routine 

Maintenance

is required.

If your unit does not appear to be operating properly, 
please follow these troubleshooting steps:

Make sure the power cord is properly connected.

Make sure the socket of your vehicle’s cigarette lighter 
is clean and free of corrosion.

Make sure the power cord’s cigarette lighter adapter 
is firmly seated in your cigarette lighter.

Check the power cord fuse. (Unscrew the ribbed end cap of 
the cigarette lighter adapter and examine the fuse. If required, 
replace it with a 2-amp fuse only.)
