Laser Alerts
When Laser is detected, the display will flash “
LASER
”
coupled with a distinct Laser audio alert. If a vehicle is a long
distance from the source of Laser pulses, fewer pulses will
generally be received. The closer the vehicle is to the source of
Laser pulses, the greater the likelihood of receiving a steady
stream of Laser pulses. The reason for this is the aiming
stability of the Laser gun and the fact that it is difficult to hold
the gun absolutely still. Any movement of the gun results in
motion of the beam at the target. The further the target, the
greater the displacement of the beam and the shorter the dwell
time of the beam at the target point. Therefore, there is the
possibility of receiving only a few Laser pulses. Due to these
characteristics, all Laser alerts should be taken seriously.

With the Safety Warning System

feature
on
and an
sws

transmitter in use, your detector will provide a unique,
2
second
sws
™
tone coupled with a Safety Warning System
®
category
word (i.e.“
Ha z d Zo n e
” indicating
Highway Hazard Zone
Advisory
) to quickly orient you to the type of situation
ahead. This introductory message is followed by a specific Text
Message (i.e.“
SHARP CURVE AHEAD
”) and Digital Voice
Message (if
SWSv o i c e
is engaged) which is repeated twice.
After the Digital Voice, the unit will continue to present the
message and provide the “clicking” tone for as long as an
sws
™
signal is detected.
If two separate
sws
™
messages are received, each message is
presented twice before the “clicking” resumes.
You can replay the last
sws
™
message received by pressing
the
drk
button within
30
seconds of receiving an
sws
™
alert.
Both Digital Voice and Text Message are replayed.
