Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and signal strength
are displayed. The audio alert is continuous and has a geiger
counter-like pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or
stronger the radar source.
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected the audio alert is continuous
for a minimum of 3 seconds.
Pulse Protection®
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to detect than
conventional radar because it remains ‘off’ until activated to
measure the speed of a targeted vehicle. When a pulse type
transmission is detected, your Whistler detector sounds an
urgent 3-second audio warning.
After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert pattern
continues for as long as the signal is present. It is important
to respond promptly to a pulse alert, since warning time may
be minimal.
