OPERATION

Power On And Self-Test

Each time your Whistler detector is turned on, an auto-
matic self-test sequence confirms that the speaker and
visual displays are functional.
During Power Up, all the LEDs illuminate, while the X, K,
and Ka alerts are sounded in sequence. Immediately after
the radar alerts, the red LEDs are momentarily canceled,
then illuminated from right to left while the laser alert is
sounded.
After the laser alert the 1st and 4th (3rd on 1710) alert LEDs
flash and the Safety Radar alert is sounded. At the end of
the self-test sequence the unit is in the highway mode.
