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 is used for each type of signal detected
(including separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K, Ka and Ku 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 18.)
Visual Display
An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the UltraBright
data
Display
. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, a number will also appear,
indicating the strength of the signal detected. (1 = weakest, 5 = strongest)
During pop alerts, the letter
P
will
appear; and during laser alerts,
the letter
L
will appear, instead of
the signal strength indication.
During VG-2 or Spectre I or IV+
alerts, the letter
V
will appear.
It will be steady during VG-2
and blink during Spectre I or IV+.
During Safety Alert the letter
S
will appear.
