Laser Audio/Visual Alerts - Whistler 1610 Owner's Manual

RADAR/LASER ALERTS
Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K or Ka is detected the band ID and signal
strength is displayed. The audio alert is continuous and
has a geiger counter-like pattern. The faster the beep the
closer or stronger the radar source. Example:
X K PWR
Ka
1 Alert LED = weak signal, 4 Alert LED's = strong signal
Radar Band Identification (1630 only)
When the Whistler 1630 encounters traffic radar, the Radar
Band Indicators confirm the band detected by illuminating
one or both of the LEDs as follows:
X Band — Amber LED Only
K Band — Red LED Only
Ka Band — Amber And Red LEDs Illuminate
Laser Audio And Visual Alerts
If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often deter-
mine 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. Any laser alert, regardless of
duration, requires immediate action! When your Whistler
detects a laser signal, the laser audio alert is sounded and
the four red LEDs (three red LEDs on 1610) illuminate from
right to left for as long as the signal is present, or for a
minimum of three seconds.
When the laser signal is no longer detected, the audio
warning ends, but the LEDs continue to flash slowly for three
seconds, indicating a laser encounter has just occurred.
