OPERATION
Feature Engaged Confirmation
Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms feature
"on", two beeps confirm feature "off".
Quiet Mode
The QUIET Button accesses one of two muting options.
Auto Quiet Mode
(1730 Only)
Pressing QUIET before a radar signal is detected provides
an alternate alert pattern, consisting of four beeps
(indicating X, K, Ka or Safety Radar) followed by clicking.
The clicking will continue for as long as the detected

signal increases.
If Auto Quiet is engaged, pressing QUIET while the unit
is alarming will cancel the beeps or clicking.
Pressing QUIET a second time when the unit is not
alarming will cancel Auto Quiet mode and restore the
continuous audio alert pattern.

OPERATION
Power On And Self-Test
Each time your Whistler detector is turned on, an
automatic 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 1730) 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.
