Find some real targets (stationary)
Place the Ranger EZ into the stationary mode. Ensure that some vehicles are within the radar beam. With a
target present, press the “Front” button. The Ranger EZ will beep and turn the front antenna on, and if the
target is strong enough a speed will be displayed in the Target window.
If you want to lock in the speed, press the “Lock” button. The “Lock” icon will light. After locking a target,
the Ranger EZ will continue to track it until the radar is placed into Standby. The target may be re-locked at
any time by pressing the Lock button again.
Now place the radar into Standby. Notice that the locked speed is shown in the Target window. If there was
a faster vehicle in the beam at the time, its speed will be shown in the middle speed window. The Range bar
will indicate the distances of the strongest and fastest targets at the time they were locked into the radar, and
the mode window will show the radar’s mode at the time of locking.
Press the “Range” key. The numeric distances to the strongest (and fastest, if present) vehicles will be
displayed momentarily. Distances greater than 990 yards (or meters) are displayed as “999”. The distances
will correspond to the distances shown on the range bar.
Locked speeds and distances will be erased when the radar is placed back into transmit mode. They will also
be automatically erased 15 minutes, unless otherwise requested, after they are locked in, if the radar is not
placed back into transmit mode.
Find some real targets (opposite direction moving mode)
Operating in the opposite direction moving mode shouldn't hold any surprises. It works just like above,
except that the patrol vehicle’s speed is also displayed. The Ranger EZ can be used in an instant-on mode by
waiting to turn the transmitter on until a speeding target is close enough to lock in, or it can be operated in
continuous transmit mode.
Note that locking a target speed does not freeze the speed windows until the unit is placed into standby.
Keeping the speeds active allows the officer to continue to verify patrol speed and monitor target speeds, re-
locking at any time.
The patrol blanking function is activated by pressing the “2
nd
F” key then the “Pat Bl” key on the remote
control. It works when the unit is in standby with a locked target. Pressing the “Pat Bl” key alternately
blanks and un-blanks the locked patrol speed in the Patrol window.
