Note: Not all units have all features described.

INSTALLATION

Mounting Guidelines Mount the unit as low and level as possible near

the center of the windshield. Unit must be level for compass to function properly.

Do not mount your unit behind wipers, ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal surfaces which can affect radar and laser signals and reduce critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass does not affect reception.)

Some windshields have an Instaclear or Electriclear

type coating, which affect radar signals. Consult your dealer or the owners manual supplied with your vehi- cle to determine if your windshield has this coating.

Avoid placing unit in direct contact with windshield.

To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your unit when not in use.

Windshield Mounting Install the two suction cups and rubber bumper onto

the bracket by fitting them into their holes.

Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the location you have chosen. IMPORTANT: Some newer cars have a plastic safety coating on the inside of the windshield. The suction cups may leave permanent marks on this type of surface. To find out if your vehicle has this type of windshield, check the owners manual or ask your dealer. We recommend that you do not leave the suction cup bracket on the window in direct sunlight. If the detector is removed, this may cause blistering of the dash in some vehicles.

Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into place.

If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the windshield bracket. Press the bracket release button and remove the detector before bending.

OPERATION

Compass Calibration Set-up The unit will need to be calibrated in order for the compass to provide accurate readings. To calibrate the unit, perform the following procedure:

1. Mount the unit level in the center of the vehicles windshield in which it will be used. Make sure there are no other magnetic sources near the detector (i.e., speaker).

2. Select a large clear area (parking lot or field) without any power lines.

3. While parked, press both volume buttons simultaneously until unit displays:

4. Drive vehicle slowly in at least two complete circles. If calibration does not automatically finish press both volume buttons simultane- ously to complete calibration. The unit will beep twice and display, for example:

Note: If unit mounting is relocated in the vehicle, (i.e., visor to windshield mounting or dash mount- ing), or if the unit is moved to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the compass.

CAL MODE

Memory / Beep Confirmation All features selected (except Stay Alert and Quiet) are retained in memory. Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms feature on, two beeps confirm feature off.

VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts Note: You must turn this feature on in option select mode before it will detect VG-2.

When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector hides its own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2.

Text message confirms detection of VG-2.

Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal. If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues to hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is detected, two beeps are provided, indicating an all clear condition. During VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot be received (Reference page 25 for VG-2 information).

Alert Priority When two or more signals are received at the same time, the alert priority is:

1. Laser 2. VG-2 3. Speed Radar 4. Safety Radar

In Most States YES! Laser/radar detectors are legal in every state

(with the exception of Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have local regulations restricting the use of radar receivers in any vehicle) when used in automobiles or light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.). Similarly, when used in automo- biles or light trucks, radar detectors are legal in almost every state. Exceptions are Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have local regulations restricting the use of radar receivers in any vehicle.

Concerning trucks over 10,000 lbs., the Federal Highway Administration (FHwA) issued a regulation, effective January, 1994 which prohibits radar and laser detector use in these types of vehicles nationally. Prior to the FHwA regulation, laws existed in the state of New York restricting the use of radar detectors in trucks over 18,000 lbs. and in Illinois in trucks over 26,000 lbs.

FCC ID HSXWH14 - 1753 FCC ID HSXWH13 - 1763

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device many not cause harmful interfer- rence.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT FCC requirements state that changes or modifica- tions not expressly approved by Whistler could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

Radar Facts A radar gun operates by transmitting radio waves at certain frequencies which reflect off objects and are then picked up by the radar guns receiving section. When a radar beam reflects off a moving target, a measurable frequency shift occurs. The radar unit converts this shift into miles per hour to determine your vehicles speed.

Currently, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) permits operation of traffic radar guns at:

X Band (10.500 - 10.550 GHz) K Band (24.050 - 24.250 GHz) Ka Band (33.400 - 36.000 GHz)

Note: A radar detector will not alarm if an officer is not transmitting on any one of the above radar bands.

PROBLEM: No display or audio.

Check fuse in Whistler plug; replace if necessary with a 2 amp 3AG type.

Check fuse for lighter socket; replace if necessary.

Make sure lighter socket is clean.

PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits bumps.

Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean.

Check connections at both ends of power cord Substitute another cord to determine if cord is defective. Return defective cord to the factory.

PROBLEM: Unit alarms when using vehicle equipment or electrical accessories (brakes, power mirrors / windows, directionals,horn, etc.).

Vehicles electrical system, including battery and alternator, may have electrical noise. Install a filter capacitor (470mfd. 25 volt or larger capacitance value) on the back of the lighter socket.

PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud enough.

Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.

Check audio level setting (see page 9).

PROBLEM: No X band signals.

Cancel City 2.

PROBLEM: Unit gives laser alert when accelerating.

Possible bad or low quality distributor cap. Replace with high quality cap.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Laser Facts Its well documented that many radar guns cannot reliably provide the speed of a targeted vehicle that is traveling in a group of vehicles. In contrast, a laser gun can target a specific vehicle out of a line of traffic and determine its speed.

The advantage of laser over radar in terms of target identification is the result of the laser guns narrow beam. A radar transmission can cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser transmission which covers about 3 feet at the same distance.

For best protection, keep these points in mind:

Because your vehicles license plate or headlights are the laser guns primary targets, mounting your Whistler detector on the dashboard can improve laser detection at short range.

Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you can not see through. If you cant see past a vehicle ahead of you, chances are your detector wont either.

The receiving range of your laser detector will not be the same as a radar detector. Laser guns are most often used at short range.

Whistler Laser/Radar detectors receive all current laser guns which operate at a laser wavelength of 905 +/- 10mm.

Pro Laser I II III LT1 20-20 Ultra Lyte

It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector owner to know and understand the laws in your area regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors.

Consumer Warranty This Whistler Radar/Laser detector is warranteed to the original purchaser for a period of one year from the date of original purchase against all defects in materials and workmanship. This limited warranty is void if the unit is abused, modified, installed improperly, if the housing has been removed, or if the serial number is missing. There are no express warranties covering this product other than those set forth in this warranty. All express or implied warranties for this product are limited to one year. Whistler is not liable for damages arising from the use, misuse, or operation of this product.

Service Under Warranty During the warranty period, defective units will be repaired without charge to the purchaser when returned with a dated store receipt to the address below. Units returned without a dated store receipt will be handled as described in section Service Out Of Warranty. Due to the specialized equipment necessary for testing a radar/laser receiver, there are no authorized service stations for Whistler brand detectors other than the factory.

When returning a unit for service under warranty, please follow these instructions:

1. Ship the unit in the original carton or in a suitable sturdy equivalent, fully insured, with return receipt requested to:

Whistler Repair Dept. 1201 North Dixieland Rd. Rogers, AR. 72756

Please allow 3 weeks turnaround time.

IMPORTANT: Whistler will not assume responsibility for loss or damage incurred in shipping. Therefore, please ship your unit insured with return receipt requested.

Other Speed Detection Systems Several techniques other than radar or laser are used to measure vehicle speeds. When these methods are being used, no detector can provide a warning. These techniques include:

Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and matches your driving speed.

Vascar / Aircraft - The time it takes a vehicle to travel a known distance is measured.

Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2) The Interceptor VG-2, or simply VG-2, is a microwave receiver used by police to detect signals radiated by the local oscillator of a radar detector. Because its purpose is to identify persons driving with radar detectors, the VG-2 is known as a radar detector detector.

The VG-2 is the primary tool used by the police to identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If caught, in a state where detectors are illegal, (see page 22), drivers risk losing their radar detector and receiving a fine. In addition, instant-on radar is almost always used in combination with a VG-2, leaving unsuspecting motorists vulnerable to receiving two tickets one potentially for speeding, the other for possession of a detector. Having a radar detector capable of detecting the VG-2 may alert you to the presence of a speed trap.
