Page 3: A Detailed Explanation Of The Ranger's Features
Modern DSP radar such as the RANGER can process many targets at the same time, but there is no practical way to display multiple targets and associate them with the correct vehicles. Fastest... - Page 4 RANGER considers all possible targets (there may be several in range of the radar) and displays the fastest one. While the speeds indicated in the fastest mode are as accurate as normal targets, visual identification of the offending vehicle is more difficult. For this reason, the RANGER only displays fastest targets on request when the mode is enabled and does not allow them to be locked.

Page 5: Display
The operating mode of the RANGER is illustrated with the scene of a patrol car and selected targets. In opposite direction moving mode, the scene shows an arrow in the left lane of traffic; it is ahead of the patrol car if the front antenna is selected and behind the patrol car if the rear antenna is selected. - Page 6 Doppler audio The RANGER features a speaker on the front panel for Doppler audio. The RANGER's audio is useful as an aid in target identification. The loudness is proportional to the strength of the received signal and increases as the target vehicle approaches.

Page 7: Remote Control
The RANGER remote has two main sections of controls located on its face. These sections are separated by a heavy white line on the label. - Page 8 Less-frequently used keys. These keys are flat membrane-type keys that are embossed around their edges to make them easy to identify by feel. Some of the keys have two colors of text identifying them. The red text is the default function of the key;...

Page 9: Operation
Operation Power up When the RANGER is first turned on, it will go through a complete self test. The radar will first perform a light test, in which all of the display's indicators will light, and then the radar will perform a 32 mph internal circuitry test. - Page 10 One fork will be used to simulate patrol speed and the other target speed. In moving mode, the speed printed on the target fork will not match the speed shown on the RANGER display. It will be added to or subtracted from the patrol speed depending on the mode switch selections.
- Page 11 RANGER's warranty. Remote control batteries The RANGER wireless remote uses 2 AA disposable alkaline batteries. These require periodic replacement by the user. A typical set of batteries should last approximately six months, as long as the remote control is not stored in a manner in which one of the buttons is inadvertently depressed for a significant period of time.
