Pop Alert
The Pop Mode Radar Gun is a single-pulse Doppler radar that is a feature
of a K and Ka (Bee III Ka radar gun) band Instant-On radar gun. It uses
a single, short-time pulse to measure the target vehicle's speed.
The Pop mode receiver senses Pop singles beyond the effective range of Pop
radar guns. As the Pop mode receiver is so sensitive, you should limit the use
of Pop Detect mode to highway and rural driving.
Pop Alert will alert you to Pop radar signals. During the alert, the unit
continues to detect other signals. The factory setting is Pop Detect Off.

Detection
The tables on the following pages show you the types of Signals your detector
will detect, as well as the voice and visual alerts it provides for each of them.
In Voice Alert mode you will first hear several tones, then a voice message
announcing the type of signal detected, followed by more tones. In Tone Alert
mode, you will hear the tones only.
In both Voice Alert and Tone Alert modes, a distinctly different alert tone is used
for each type of signal detected (including separate tones for each laser signal).
For X, K, Ka and Ku band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as
you approach the signal source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful
information about the signal detected. (See responding to alerts on page 18.)
An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the UltraBright
data Display. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, a number will also appear,
indicating the strength of the signal detected. (1 = weakest, 5 = strongest)
