OPERATION
Twin Alert Periscopes
Whistler’s new Twin Alert Periscopes provides an
additional attention getting visual alert. The two
extra LED’s flash on and off when the unit alarms
to provide a unique visual alert. This alert can be
programmed, through the Option Select Mode to:
1. flash for all alarms, 2. remain on, or 3. turn LEDs
off completely. (XTR -265/335 only)
Dim/Dark Mode
(XTR-265/335)
Dim/Dark Mode reduces the illumination of the
display.
• Press the Dark button to reduce illumination to a
Dim setting.
• Press the Dark button a second time engages Dark
Mode.
In Dark mode display illumination is further
reduced. Dim or dark can be engaged
during an alert. In Dark Mode, the display
goes dark for as long as a signal is being
detected and for 20 seconds after, then the
display returns to the dimmer setting.
• Pressing the Dark button a third time restores full
illumination to the display.
Engaging/Disengaging VG-2

Vehicle Battery Saver Mode
The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatically
shuts off your detector after 6 hours. The timer
is reset if the detector is turned off, unplugged
or any button is pressed before the time has
expired. The detector will alert you with an
audible and visual warning before it shuts off.
During this warning, you can momentarily reset
the unit by pressing any button. This will reset
the timer. If the unit has automatically turned
itself off, press any button to turn the unit back on.
Stay Alert Feature
(XTR-265/335)
The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a
driver’s alertness. To engage (when unit is not
alarming):
• Press and hold the City button for less then 2 seconds.
The ”H” or “C” will flash indicating Stay Alert is
activated.Within 30-60 seconds two beeps are
sounded; to show alertness, the driver must press
either the City, Menu or Quiet button within 3-5
seconds. If the button is pressed within 3-5 seconds,
the cycle is repeated. If a button was not pressed
within 3-5 seconds, the alarm sounds and the display
flashes all the LEDs.
• Press Dark to cancel Stay Alert.
WARNING!!!
Stay Alert is NOT intended as a
substitute for adequate rest. You should NOT operate a
vehicle if you are drowsy. During extended periods of
vehicle operation, you should take frequent breaks.
Improper reliance on the Stay Alert may result in vehicle
damage, personal injury or death.
NEVER OPERATE A VEHICLE IF YOU ARE DROWSY.
OPERATION
Laser Audio / Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected, the display
indicates alert by illuminating the “V/L” and
scrolling the signal strength indicators from right
to left or display indicates an “L” on the
display. The audio alert is continuous for a
minimum of 3 seconds.
Laser Tips
If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun
can often determine your speed within a few
seconds after you receive an alert. In this
situation there is generally no time to safely
adjust your speed. However, if you are
traveling near or behind the targeted
vehicle and receive an alert, response time
should be sufficient. Any laser alert, regardless
of duration, requires immediate action!
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 . Models XTR145 will flash the Alert
strength indicators at their fastest rate; on
models XTR-265/335 a “P
P” will be displayed.
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.
