Signals Detected

The tables on the following pages show the types of

Signals

your

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

Audio Alerts

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 25.

Visual Display

An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the OLED Data
Display. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, you will also see the numbers from
one to five, indicating the strength of the signal detected.

Spectre 1 Audio Mode

When

Spectre 1 Audio

mode is on, alerts will be sounded as well as being

displayed on the screen. This setting is only available if Spectre 1 Alert is on.
The factory setting is Spectre 1 Audio off.

Safety Alert

an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect other
signals. The factory setting is Safety Alert on.
