RADAR/LASER ALERTS
Radar 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 word "LSR" and the
corresponding laser pulse rate is displayed, the audio alert is
continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds. "LSR 238"
Pulse Protection
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. It is important to
respond promptly to a pulse alert, since warning time may be
minimal.
POP
Mode
™
POP
Mode is a feature on some radar guns operating on K
™
and Ka bands. When activated, a brief burst of energy, less
than 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and the vehicle's speed
is quickly acquired. A detector without POP
capability cannot respond to this brief transmission.
