Signal Strength Meter
Your Pro100’s alphanumeric display
consists of 280 individual LEDs, to provide
an intuitive ultra-bright display of signal
strength and text messages.
The Pro100’s standard bar-graph signal
strength meter only displays information
on a single radar signal. If there are multiple
signals present, the Pro100’s internal
computer determines which is the most
important threat to show on the bar-graph
meter.
When your Pro100 detects radar,
it displays the band (X, K, or Ka), and a
precise bar-graph of the signal strength.
When your Pro100 detects a laser signal,
the display will show
LASER
.
NOTE: If you are operating the Pro100
in the Dark mode, the display will not light
when a signal is detected, only the audio
will be heard.

Audible Alerts
For Radar signals:
Your Pro100 uses a Geiger-counter-like
sound to indicate the signal strength and
type of radar signal being encountered.
When you encounter radar, a distinct
audible alert will sound and occur faster as
the signal gets stronger. This allows you to
judge the distance from the signal source
without taking your eyes from the road.
Each band has a distinct tone for easy
identification.
X-band = chirping
K-band = buzzing
Ka-band = double-chirp
POP = full double-chirp
For Laser and POP signals:
Since laser and POP signals (if turned
on) are a possible threat no matter how
weak, the Pro100 alerts you to these bands
at full strength.
For Safety signals:
Your Pro100 will alert you to these
signals with a double-beep tone, and a
corresponding text message. A complete
listing of the text messages is on page 21.
Programming
There are 6 user-selectable options so you
can customize your Pro100 for your own
preferences. The buttons labeled CITY and
BRT are also used to enter the Program
Mode, REVIEW your current program
settings, and to CHANGE any settings as
desired. The words PGM, RVW, and CHG are
located on the top of the detector, and are
highlighted in colored graphics. Pages 13-
14 explain each option in more detail.
