Filter Mode
(N/A on XTR-500/550/555)
There are times when a radar detector in another
vehicle, can unintentionally emit a frequency
which can cause your detector to falsely alarm.
The Whistler Filter Mode options provide
additional signal processing to minimize the
occurrences of these false alarms. Filter mode
provides normal processing. Filter 1 mode
provides additional signal analysis before
alarming.
Filter Mode is the factory default setting and
should provide adequate filtering for most
conditions. If you experience excessive alerts
due to radar detectors in other vehicles, try Filter
1 mode. Filter Mode analysis occurs in Highway
Mode and all City Modes. See Option Selection
Mode to change the filter settings.
