INTRODUCTION
Dear Whistler Owner,
For many of us, a vehicle is more than just transportation.
It can be a mobile office, communications or entertainment
center, or simply an expression of our personality. Whistler
products are designed to make the time you spend in your
vehicle more productive, more fulfilling, safer, or just simply
more fun. Our mission is to provide products that improve
your driving experience.
Our new units offer not only bold new styling but also many
features not found on other detectors at any price. We start
with a proven detection circuitry with All Band™ and added
top-of-the-line features such as:
•
Whistler's exclusive Safe Driving System -
Incorporates the Safety Warning System (SWS),
keeping you informed of road hazards as well as our
unique Stay Alert system, it tests your alertness on
long solo trips.
•
Vehicle Battery Saver - battery saver turns the
detector off if you forget.
•
High Visibility Display - a digital display with safety
messages to you informed while you drive.
•
Real Voice™ - (1750 only) allows you to keep your
eyes on the road.
•
Digital Compass - (1760, 1765 only) provides
cardinal points and direction in 5 degree increments.
Even though these units are packed full of features, they're
still very easy to use. To fully utilize your unit to its poten-
tial, we recommend reading this entire manual or visit our
FAQ page on our web site www.whistlergroup.com.
Note: On 1760 and 1765 models the compass must be
calibrated before use! See Compass Calibration set-up
section.
Enjoy your new Whistler and please drive safely.
Sincerely,
THE WHISTLER GROUP

reduce critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass does
