How Safety Radar Works

How Safety Warning Systems Works
Safety Warning Systems, or SWS, is a
modified K-band radar signal used to
transmit important driving related
information.
From the factory, your RX75 PLUS is
programmed with SWS turned ON. If SWS is
not used in your area, you can simply turn
SWS reception OFF by using the RX75
PLUS's Programming feature.
The SWS system has 64 possible
messages (60 allocated). The SWS messages
your RX75 PLUS can decode and display are
listed on the facing page.
Note: Some of the safety messages have
been condensed, so each message can be
displayed on one or two screens on the
RX75 PLUS's eight character display.
Since Safety radar technology is
relatively new and the number of
transmitters in operation is not yet
widespread, you will not receive Safety
signals on a daily basis and should not be
surprised to encounter emergency vehicles,
road hazards and railroad crossings that are
unequipped with these transmitters and,
therefore, fail to provide a signal. As Safety
transmitters become more prevalent (the
number of operating transmitters is growing
every day), these Safety radar signals will
become more common.
