Setup

1. Select a location that provides a good view of the traffic
to be monitored.
2. Check the immediate area for potential interference
sources, such as large reflecting signs in the direct path
of the radar's microwave beam, power substations and
other sources of electrical interference.
3. Position the patrol vehicle in a safe location, with easy
access to the roadway.
NOTE: Cosine error (angle between the target's
direction of travel vs. the path to the radar), in the
stationary mode, will ALWAYS be in the driver's
favor. Refer to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's "Basic Training Program
in RADAR Speed Measurement" for speed
reduction information due to cosine angle effect.
4. Adjust the Doppler audio for the desired listening level.
Ensure that one of the antennas is selected (not in
Hold). Depress the AUDIO switch. The TARGET
window will display "Aud" and the PATROL window
will display the current audio level.
With "Aud" still being displayed, depress either the
AUDIO (down) or RANGE (up) switches to decrease
or increase the audio level. The displays will return to
their normal mode two seconds from the last switch
entry.
5. To toggle between squelched or unsquelched audio,
depress the AUDIO switch. The TARGET window
will display "Aud" and the LOCK window will either
be blank for squelched or displaying "Un" for
unsqelched. While "AUD" is displayed depress the
