  • Page 36: Legal Notices

    LEGAL NOTICES ARE DETECTORS LEGAL? In Most States YES. Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state (except Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have local regulations restricting the use of radar receivers in any vehicle) when used in automobiles or light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a regulation, effective January, 1994 which prohibits radar and laser detector use in vehicles over 10,000 lbs.

  • Page 37: Fcc

    (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. MPORTANT: FCC requirements state that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Whistler could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

  • Page 38: Radar/Laser Alerts

    ® Pulse (or instant-on) radar 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. Display Shows: After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert pattern continues for as long as the signal is present.

  • Page 39: Speed Monitoring

    For best protection, keep these points in mind: • Because the vehicle’s license plate or headlights are the laser gun’s primary targets, mounting the Whistler detector on the dashboard can improve laser detection at short range. • Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you cannot see through.

  • Page 40: Laser Tips

    SPEED MONITORING Laser Tips If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often determine your speed within a few seconds after you receive an alert. In this situation, there is generally no time to safely adjust your speed. However, if you are traveling near or behind the targeted vehicle and receive an alert, response time should be sufficient.

  • Page 41: Other Speed Detection Systems

    SPEED MONITORING Other Speed Detection Systems Several techniques other than radar or laser are used to measure vehicle speeds. When these methods are being used, no detector can provide a warning. These techniques include: • Pacing – A patrol car drives behind you and matches your driving speed.
  • Page 42 SPEED MONITORING NOTE: The newest tool police have to detect radar detectors is called Spectre. Spectre can detect the majority of undetectable (VG-2) laser/radar detectors on the market. It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector user to know and understand the laws in your area regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors.
