Safety Warning System
™
In communities where transmitters are located,
the Safety Warning System
™
displays over 60 text
messages. When Safety Radar is detected, a unique
audio alert sounds.
Safety Warning System Text
Example: Poor - Road - Surface.
Note:
Not all areas have Safety Warning System
™
transmitters.
OPERATION
POP
™
Mode Alerts
Because POP
™
Mode radar utilizes the same
K or Ka band frequencies, POP
™
Mode Alerts will be
displayed as regular radar alerts.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K, or Ka is detected, the band ID and
signal strength is displayed. The audio alert is
continuous and has a pattern like a geiger
counter. 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.
• The Display Shows:
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 and the display shows:
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.

MODE ALERTS
VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts
Note:
You must turn this feature on before it will detect VG-2.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector “hides” its
own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the
VG-2. Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2
signal. If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues
to hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is
detected, two beeps are provided, indicating an “all
clear” condition. During a VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band
signals cannot be received (see pg. 11).
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the same
time, the alert priority is:
1
. Laser
2.
VG-2
3.
Speed Radar
4
. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly a VG-2
signal is detected, the VG-2 warning will
override the X band alert.
