OPERATION
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the
same time, the alert priority is:
1. Laser 2. Speed Radar 3. Safety Radar
Example: If X band is alerting, then suddenly a
laser signal is detected, the laser warning will
override the X band alert.
Compass Calibration Set-up
The unit will need to be calibrated in order for
the compass to provide accurate readings. To
calibrate the unit, perform the following proce-
dure:
1 1 . . Mount the unit level in the center of the
vehicle's windshield. Make sure there are no
other magnetic sources near the detector
(i.e., speaker).
2 2 . Select a large clear area (parking lot or field)
without any power lines.
3 3 . Press the Menu button until display shows
C C A A L L M M O O D D E E . Then press the Dark and Quiet buttons
simultaneously. The display shows (scrolling):
4 4 . If calibration does not automatically finish press
the Dark and Quiet buttons simultaneously to com-
plete calibration. The unit will beep twice and dis-
play shows, for example:
Note: In Combo Mode an "H H " or "C C " will be
shown to indicate mode of operation.
Important: If unit mounting is relocated in the
vehicle, (i.e., visor to windshield mounting or
dash mounting), or if the unit is moved to
another vehicle, you must recalibrate the com-
pass.

POP Mode Alerts
™
Because POP ™ Mode radar utilizes the same
K or Ka band frequencies, POP ™ Mode Alerts will be
displayed as regular radar alerts.

LASER/RADAR ALERTS

Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and
signal strength are displayed. The audio alert is
continuous and has a geiger counter-like
pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or
stronger the radar source.
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected the audio alert is
continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.
• The Displays Shows:
Pulse Protection
®
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to
detect than conventional radar because it
remains 'off' until activated to measure the speed
of a targeted vehicle.
When a pulse type transmission is detected, your
Whistler detector sounds an urgent 3-second
audio warning and the display shows:
After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert
pattern continues for as long as the signal is
present.
It is important to respond promptly to a pulse
alert, since warning time may be minimal.
