Technical Details
How Safety Radar Works
Safety Warning System,or SWS,uses a
modified K-band radar signal.The SWS safety
radar system has 64 possible messages (60
currently allocated).The SWS messages
your V928i can display are listed on the
facing page.
From the factory,your V928i is
programmed with SWS decoding OFF.If
SWS is used in your area,your V928i will
display the safety messages associated with
the signal.If you wish to detect this system,
use the Programming feature to turn the
V928i's SWS decoding ON.
NOTE:Some of the safety messages
have been condensed,so that each message
can be displayed on one or two screens on
the V928i'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.Do not be surprised
if you encounter emergency vehicles,road
hazards and railroad crossings that are
unequipped with these transmitters.As
Safety transmitters become more prevalent
(the number of operating transmitters
is growing every day),these Safety radar
signals will become more common.
