Instant-On Detection
Your detector is designed to detect
Instant-On
speed monitoring signals, which
can suddenly appear at full strength.
NOTE
You should take appropriate action immediately whenever an Instant-On
alert is given.
Pop Detection
Your detector is designed to detect single pulse mode radars. These radars
are designed to have a low probability of detection. You should note that these
radar guns have a much shorter range while in this mode (see page 34 for more
details).
