Finding Radar
On-the-road situations
Valentine One gives you far more information about radar
than any radar detector. Still, to achieve the best defense,
you must interpret this information correctly. The following
examples will help you get maximum protection.
Situation 1:
You are driving toward a radar aimed at you.
Your Warning:
The Ahead arrow will glow. The Bogey
Counter will show 1. You’ll hear a slow Beep for X band or
Brap for other radars. As you come close to the radar, the
Beeps (or Braps) will become more frequent until they
merge into a continuous tone. By this time you should see
the radar.
The Beside arrow and then the Behind arrow will glow as
you pass the radar.
In this situation, moving radar and stationary radar will give
the same alert, except the Beep rate will increase faster with
moving radar because the closing speed is greater.
Situation 2:
You’re driving on a hilly road. Radar is
waiting over the next hill.
Your Warning:
Well before you reach the hilltop, the
Ahead arrow will glow. The Bogey Counter will show 1.
You’ll hear a slow Beep or Brap, and the rate will increase
very quickly as you near the hilltop. As soon as you can see
over the hill, you will probably spot the radar.
Situation 3:
You’re driving on a curvy road. Radar is
waiting around the next curve.
Your Warning:
The Ahead arrow will glow (because the
radar is forward, not to the side, of your car). The Bogey
Counter will show 1. You’ll hear a slow Beep or Brap, and
the rate will increase very quickly as you turn the corner.
You should see the radar as soon as you’re around the
corner.
