INTRODUCTION

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dear Whistler Owner,
With the change in time also comes change in technology.
Radar gun manufacturers have stepped up to the plate.
The new arsenal they carry is called POP

Mode.  This new

gun is a normal K or Ka band radar gun detectable by
most radar detectors made in the past 30 years, unless
the gun is placed in POP

Mode. POP

Mode is a feature

on some newer radar guns operating on K and Ka bands.
When the gun is in POP

Mode and activated, a brief burst

of energy, less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and
the vehicle’s speed is quickly acquired. A detector without
POP

Mode detection capability cannot respond to this

brief transmission. This detector has the power to report
this new gun where other detectors cannot! - until now!
Whistler introduces the Pro-58 and Pro-73 with POP

Mode detection! These units are the beginning in total
protection.  With POP

Mode detection, these units can

react fast enough to detect this new technology.  Packed
with power you still have a full featured radar detector:

INTENSE BLUE TEXT DISPLAY (PRO-73 Only)

provides distinct visual confirmation of signals 
detected, signal strength, and indicates 
engaged modes of operation.

HIGH GAIN OPTICAL LENS

which provides 

increased laser sensitivity.

REAL VOICE

®

ALERTS (PRO-73 Only) 

are given

verbally through the detector so you do not have
to take your eyes off the road to look at the display.

SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY (PRO-58 Only)

provides

intense blue

numeric signal strength 

indicator and band identification.

Even though these units are packed full of features, they’re
still very easy to use.  To fully utilize your unit to its potential,
we recommend reading this entire manual or visit our
FAQ page on our web site www.

Enjoy your new Whistler and please drive safely.

Sincerely,

The Whistler Group, Inc.
