Page 15: Understanding Your Detector
Understanding Your Detector Interpreting Alerts Although SmartRadar has a comprehensive warning system, only experience will teach you what to expect from your detector and how to interpret what it tells you. The specific type of radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on), and the location of the radar source affect the alerts you receive. - Page 16 Caution: Overconfidence in an unfamiliar area can be dangerous. Likewise, if an alert in a commonly traveled area is suddenly stronger or on a different band than usual, speed radar may be set up nearby. How Radar Works Traffic radar, which consists of microwaves, travels in straight lines and is easily reflected by objects such as cars, trucks, and even guardrails and overpasses.
- Page 17 LIDAR can be used day or night. How TSR Works SmartRadar includes a new boost in anti-falsing software to eliminate excessive alerts from erroneous X- and K-band sources, such as traffic flow-monitoring systems. These systems, which are becoming more widely used in several countries, generate K-band signals to measure the flow of traffic on a given road.
