Receiving Alerts
The Platinum100 provides a combination of audio and vi-
sual alerts to warn you when police radar and laser signals
are detected.
Radar Alert Sequence
The Platinum100 detects all North American police radar
signals (X, K, and Ka-Band). When a signal is identified:
•
The OLED display will provide you band and signal strength
information. You can choose from a 5-bar alert display (default)
or a 3-bar alert display. The alert indicators will display a
range of colors from green when the signal is weakest to red
when the signal is strongest.
•
A voice announces which radar band was detected (this
assumes the factory default “Voice On” setting has not
been changed).
•
Signal strength and proximity to the radar source will be
identified as a series of Geiger counter-like tones. The
faster the tone pattern, the closer you are to the source.
Each police radar band alert has its own distinctive tone.
