BCT7

alerts you when Highway Patrol/State Police units using mobile extenders are within an

approximate three mile radius.

1. The Warning Light flashes and

the Alert Tone beeps five times
when a signal is received.

2. The active bank indicator

replaces the state name, and
the frequency displays until the
transmission ends.

3.The Warning Light glows steadily

for approximately three minutes.
Then, if no other mobile extender

transmissions are received, the
light goes out.

4. If more transmissions are

received before three minutes have
passed, the Warning Light flashes
and the Alert Tone sounds twice.
