SPEED
MONITORING
Laser Facts
It’s well documented that many radar guns cannot reliably
provide the speed of a targeted vehicle that is traveling
in a group of vehicles. In contrast, a laser gun can target
a specific vehicle out of a line of traffic and determine its
speed. The advantage of laser over radar in terms of
target identification is the result of the laser gun’s narrow
beam. A radar gun’s transmission can cover more than a
four-lane highway at a distance of 1,000 feet, compared
with a laser gun’s transmission which covers about 3 feet at
the same distance. For best protection, keep these points
in mind:
• Because the vehicle’s license plate or headlights are
the laser gun’s primary targets, mounting the Whistler
detector on the dashboard can improve laser detection
at short range.
• Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you cannot see
through. If you can’t see past a vehicle ahead of you,
chances are your detector can’t either.
•
The receiving range of your laser detector will not be the
same as a radar detector.
• Laser guns are most often used at short range.
During the summer months, avoid prolonged exposure to
direct sunlight by removing your unit from the dash when
your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time. Do
not spray water, cleaners, or polishes directly onto the unit.
The spray may penetrate through the openings and damage
the unit. Also, do not use any abrasive cleaners on the unit’s
exterior.
