Interpreting Alerts

Although the V955 has a comprehensive 
warning system and this handbook is as
complete as we can make it, only  
experience will teach you what to expect 
from your V955 and how to interpret what 
it tells you. The specific type of radar being 

used, the type of transmission (continuous 
or instant-on) and the location of the radar 
source affect the radar alerts you receive.
 

The following examples will give you 

an introduction to understanding the your 
V955’s warning system for radar, laser and 
safety alerts.

Explanation

You are approaching a continuous radar 
source aimed in your direction.  

An instant-on radar source is being used 
ahead of you and out of your view. 

An instant-on radar source or laser source is 
being used nearby. This kind of alert requires 
immediate attention!

Laser is being used in the area. Because laser 
is inherently difficult to detect, any laser alert 
may indicate a source very close by. 

A moving patrol car with continuous radar is 
overtaking you from behind. Because these 
signals are reflected (reflections are increased 
by large objects), they may or may not  
eventually melt into a solid point even when 
the patrol car is directly behind you. 

Alert

The V955 begins to sound slowly, then the 
rate of alert increases. The Signal Meter ramps 
accordingly. 

The V955 emits short alerts for a few seconds 
and then falls silent only to briefly alert and 
fall silent again.         

The V955 suddenly sounds a continuous 
tone for the appropriate band received. All 
segments in the Signal Strength Meter are lit.

A brief laser alert. 

The V955 receives weak signals. These signals 
may be a little stronger as you pass large, 
roadside objects. The signals increase in 
frequency.

Explanation

You are approaching a radar unit concealed 
by a hill or an obstructed curve.

A patrol car is traveling in front of you with a 
radar source aimed forward. Because signals 
are sometimes reflected off of large objects 
and sometimes not, the alerts may seem  
inconsistent. 

A patrol car is approaching from the other 
direction, sampling traffic with instant-on 
radar. Such alerts should be taken seriously.  

You are driving through an area populated 
with radar motion sensors (door openers, 
burglar alarms, etc.). Since these transmitters 
are usually contained inside buildings or 
aimed toward OR away from you, they are 
typically not as strong or lasting as a real radar 
encounter.

Alert

The V955 alerts slowly for a while and then 
abruptly jumps to a strong alert.

The V955 alerts intermittently. Rate and 
strength of alerts may be inconsistent or vary 
wildly.         

The V955 alerts intermittently. Rate and 
strength of signal increases with each alert.         

The V955 gives an X-band, or K-band alert  
intermittently.

CAUTION: Since the characteristics of 
these alerts may be similar to some of 
the preceding examples, overconfidence 
in an unfamiliar area can be dangerous. 
Likewise, if an alert in a commonly trav-
eled area is suddenly stronger or on a 
different band than usual, speed radar may 
be set up nearby.
