Vehicle Battery Saver Mode

The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatically shuts
off your detector after 3 hours. The timer is reset if
the detector is turned off, unplugged or any button
is pressed before the timer has expired.  The detec-
tor will alert you with an audible and visual warning
before it shuts off. During this warning, you can
momentarily reset the timer by pressing any button.
If the unit has automatically turned itself off, press
any button to turn the unit back on.
Refer to “Option Select Mode” for instructions
for deactivating battery saver mode feature. 

Filter Mode

There are times when a radar detector can emit
the same frequency as police radar and can
cause your detector to falsely alarm. Sometimes
a detector can display a signal  when picking up
another radar detector in vehicle close by. The
Whistler Filter Mode options provide a method
to study the signal which will verify if the signal
is a legitimate police radar or a false alert from
another detector.  Three options exist:  

Filter:

Allows for normal filtering. 

Filter 1:

Provides and extra step to analyze the

legitimacy of the signal.  

Filter 2:

Provides 2 extra steps to analyze legiti-

macy of the signal.
Filter is the factory default and should provide
adequate filtering for most conditions.  If you
experience excessive alerts due to radar detec-
tors in other vehicles, try the Filter 1 option.  If
you continue to receive alerts from radar detec-
tors, use the Filter 2 option.  Filter Mode does
not override Highway or City settings.  See
Option Select Mode to change Filter settings.
