RADAR ALERTS
Radar Audio And Visual Alerts
When your Whistler detector encounters traffic radar, it pro-
vides a distinctive audio tone for the specific radar band
detected: X, K, or Ka. At the same time, LEDs illuminate
sequentially from left to right (see page 9). The green and
amber LEDs are cancelled during an alert.
The audio alerts are continuous, but have a Geiger counter-
like pattern to help you determine your distance from the
radar source; the faster the beeping, the closer you are to the
transmitting source.
At the same time, illumination of multiple LEDs indicates rel-
ative signal strength.
Pulse Protection
®
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to detect than con-
ventional radar because it 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 and flash-
es the red LEDs at their fastest rate. 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.
