Your K40 system will be ready for use following this automatic Wake-
Up sequence:
1.
Start your vehicle
– Your K40 system is designed to turn on
automatically every time your vehicle is started.
2.
Wake-Up Sequence
– Both front and rear alert LED’s in your
dash will flash (Platinum200 systems have one alert LED). The
voice will announce, “K40 Scan, Active”, you will then hear alerts
for X, K, Ka-Band, and laser.
Wake-Up Options can be changed in the Menu, page 14.
•
Wake-Up Long: default and as described above.
•
Wake-Up Short: LED’s will flash and you will hear an
abbreviated audible sequence of three beeps.
•
Wake-Up Silent: an LED only sequence (no audible).
3.
GPS Connection
– After locating available satellites, the K40
system will announce, “GPS Connected”.
NOTE:
If you don’t hear and/or see the Wake-Up sequence,
press and
release the power button
on the K40 remote control.
NOTE:
If you are in a location that prevents connection with GPS
satellites (e.g. parking garage), your K40 system will still protect you
from all radar and laser threats (
laser protection only available with
optional Laser Defuser installed
). Once you drive to an unobstructed
location, the GPS will connect and you will hear, “GPS Connected”.

Your K40 system provides a combination of audio and visual alerts
to warn you when radar signals are detected.
Radar Alert Sequence
Your K40 system detects all North American police radar signals (X,
K, and Ka-Band). When a signal is identified:
•
The K40 Platinum360 will announce the direction of the signal’s
source, either front or rear, along with the police radar band de-
tected. K40 Platinum200 systems will only announce the band
detected (this assumes the factory default “Voice On” setting
has not been changed).
•
Signal strength and proximity to the radar source will be identified
as a series of Geiger counter-like tones. The faster the tone, the
closer you are to the source. Each police radar band alert has its
own distinctive tone.
Laser Alert Sequence
(only for K40 systems that include Laser Defusers
®
)
When your K40 system detects a laser signal:
•
A voice announces, “Laser” (this assumes the factory default
“Voice On” setting has not been changed).
•
You will then hear a distinct and urgent audio tone.
•
LED(s) will pulse rapidly for the duration of the alert.
