OPERATION RADAR/LASER ALERTS

Stay Alert Feature

The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a driver’s alertness.

To engage (when the unit is not alarming):

• Press and hold the City button for approximately 2 seconds.

Release the button during or immediately after the alert is given.

LASER/RADAR ALERTS

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.

Within 30-60 seconds, two beeps are sounded; to show alertness, the driver must press either the City, Menu, or Quiet buttons within

3-5 seconds. If a button is pressed within 3-5 seconds, the cycle is repeated. Before unit alerts, press PWR to exit this feature. If a button is not pressed within 3-5 seconds, an alarm sounds and the entire display flashes.

Laser Audio/Visual Alerts

When a laser signal is detected the audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.

• The unit‘s “L” icon will illuminate along with a corresponding segment to indicate the general PPS rate of the source.

• When a TraffiPatrol XR laser gun is detected the unit‘s “L” icon will illuminate along with an “t” on the display.

• Press the Power button to exit.

WARNING!!! Stay Alert is NOT intended as a substitute for adequate winauto.ua

vehicle damage, personal injury or death. NEVER OPERATE A

VEHICLE IF YOU ARE DROWSY.

Pulse Protection®

Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more of a threat 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 a “P”.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your Whistler detector is expertly engineered and designed to exacting quality standards to provide you with reliable, trouble-free operation. If your unit has been correctly installed following the guidelines in this manual, but is not operating optimally, please refer to the troubleshooting guide below.

PROBLEM: No display or audio.

• Check fuse in power cable, replace if necessary. winauto.ua

PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle equipment or electrical accessories (brakes, power mirrors/windows, directionals, horn, etc.)

• Check conditions of vehicle’s electrical system, including battery and alternator.

PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud enough.

• Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.

• Check audio level setting.

23 22



TROUBLESHOOTING SPEED MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES

PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits bumps.

ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?

Check with your country’s laws reguarding radar detector ownership and use.

• Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean.

• Check connections at both ends of the power cord.

Substitute another cord to determine if the cord is defective. Return defective cord to the factory.

It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector user to know and understand the laws in your area regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors.

PROBLEM: Unit falses too much.

• If alarms are POP Ka, switch POP Mode to off.

• If the above option doesn’t help, turn off Ka Band if its not used in your area.

POP™ Mode

POP™ Mode is a feature on some 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.

If difficulties occur which cannot be solved by information in this Troubleshooting Guide, please call Whistler Customer

Service at 1-479-273-6012 or visit our FAQ page at www.whistlergroup.com, before returning your unit for service.

Laser Facts winauto.ua

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.

SPEED MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES SPEED MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES

Radar Facts - Continued 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.

This laser/radar detector receives signals from traffic radar guns at X Band (10.500 - 10.550 GHz), K Band (24.050 - 24.250

GHz), and Ka Band (33.400 - 36.000 GHz).

Note: Your radar detector is designed to alarm if an officer is transmitting on any one of the above radar bands.

• 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. Whistler Laser-Radar detectors receive all current laser guns which operate at a laser wavelength of

800-1000nm.

Other Speed Detection Systems

Several techniques other than radar or laser are used to measure vehicle speeds. When these methods are being used, no detector can provide a warning.

These techniques include:

• Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and matches your driving speed.

Laser Tips

If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often determine your speed within a few seconds after you receive winauto.ua

Radar Facts

A radar gun operates by transmitting radio waves at certain frequencies which reflect off objects and are picked up by the radar gun’s receiving section. When a radar beam reflects off a moving target, a measurable frequency shift occurs. The radar unit converts this shift into miles per hour to determine your vehicle’s speed. these devices are known as a “radar detector detector”

(RDD). An RDD is the primary tool used by the police to identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If caught in a country where detectors are illegal, drivers risk losing their radar detector and receiving a fine. In addition, instant-on radar is almost always used in combination with an RDD, leaving unsuspecting motorists

store receipt must still accompany any unit sent in for warranty work. If the unit is returned without a dated store receipt an out of warranty service charge applies.

Note: Your warranty period begins at the

time of purchase. The warranty is validated only by the dated store receipt! Now is the time to record the serial number of the unit in the space provided in the warranty section of the manual.
