unit’s power jack.

lighter.

Fuse Replacement

The lighter socket plug is equipped with a
replaceable 2 amp 3AG fuse located behind
the silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully
unscrew the tip of the plug.

IMPORTANT: Unscrew slowly. The tip 
contains a spring which may fly out when
disassembling. 

Insert the new fuse with the

spring and screw on the tip. 

With use, screw

cap on plug may loosen. Retighten occa-
sionally.

Unscrew the tip of the lighter socket plug 
carefully when replacing the 2 amp fuse.

INSTALLATION

Power On and Self Test

Each time your Whistler detector is turned
on, an automatic self-test sequence confirms
that the speaker and visual displays are func-
tional.

Feature Engaged Confirmation

Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms
feature “on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.

Auto Quiet Mode

Pressing QUIET before a radar signal is 
detected provides an alternate alert pattern,
consisting of four beeps (indicating X, K, Ka
or Safety Radar) followed by clicking. The
clicking will continue for as long as the
detected signal is present or any new signal
is detected within 20 seconds, becoming
more rapid as the strength of the signal
increases.

Quiet Mode

Quiet cancels audio during an alert and any new
alert within 20 seconds. After approximately 20 
seconds,  2 beeps are provided on any new alert,
and unit then remains quiet.
• Press Quiet to cancel the audio.
• Press Quiet a second time during an alert 

to restore the standard audio alert pattern; 
or turn the unit off, then on.

OPERATION

Audio Level Adjustment

The audio levels can be adjusted high to low or low
to high.
• Move Power/Volume button back to increase 

audio level.

• Move Power/Volume button forward to decrease 

audio level. As audio level is adjusted, beeps are 
provided and the display indicates volume level. 

City Mode

Whistler’s City Mode is designed to reduce
the annoyance of automatic door openers, 
intrusion alarms and other devices which
share frequencies with police radar.
• Press City to engage City Mode. 
• Pressing City a second time cancels City 

Mode.

In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar sig-
nals give an initial alarm of two beeps, and
then the unit remains quiet unless the signal
strength increases, two additional beeps are
provided.

Highway Mode

Highway Mode provides full audio warnings
any time radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser
signals are detected, and is recommended
for open road driving.
