Radar Alert Settings
The detector allows you to choose whether it will show alerts on the
X
,
K
and
Ka
Bands. The factory settings are: X, K, and Ka On.
Signals Detected
The tables on the following pages show you the types of Signals your detector will
detect, as well as the visual alerts it provides for each of them.
Audio Alerts
A distinctly different Alert tone and voice message is used for each type of signal
detected (including separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K and Ka band
radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as you approach the signal source. The
repeat rate of the tones gives you useful information about the signal detected.
(See responding to alerts on page 14.)
Visual Display
An indication of the type of signal
detected and, for radar signals, the signal
strength will appear in the UltraBright
Data Display. Radar signal strength will
be indicated by steady, flashing, or a
combination of steady and flashing
LEDs as shown in the signal strength
chart below.
