Mode Alerts
Because POP
™
Mode radar utilizes the same
K or Ka band frequencies, POP
™
Mode Alerts will be
displayed as regular radar alerts.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and
signal strength are displayed. The audio alert is
continuous and has a geiger counter-like
pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or
stronger the radar source.
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected the audio alert is
continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.
• The Displays Shows:
Pulse Protection
®
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to
detect than conventional radar because it
remains ‘off’ until activated to measure the speed
of a targeted vehicle.
When a pulse type transmission is detected, your
Whistler detector sounds an urgent 3-second
audio warning and the display shows:
After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert
pattern continues for as long as the signal is
present.
It is important to respond promptly to a pulse
alert, since warning time may be minimal.
OPERATION
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the
same time, the alert priority is:
1
. Laser
2.
Speed Radar
3
. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly a
laser signal is detected, the laser warning will
override the X band alert.
Compass Calibration Set-up
The unit will need to be calibrated in order for
the compass to provide accurate readings. To
calibrate the unit, perform the following proce-
dure:
1
1.. Mount the unit level in the center of the
vehicle’s windshield. Make sure there are no
other magnetic sources near the detector
(i.e., speaker)
.

2. Select a large clear area
(parking lot or field)
without any power lines.

Note:
In Combo Mode an “H
H” or “C
C” will be
shown to indicate mode of operation.
Important:
If unit mounting is relocated in the
vehicle, (i.e., visor to windshield mounting or
dash mounting), or if the unit is moved to
another vehicle, you must recalibrate the com-
pass.
