Summary of Content for Whistler LR300GPX Laser Radar Detector Owners Manual PDF

Setting Saver Setting Saver stores your personalized settings so that when the detector is turned off and then on again, you do not have to re-enter them.

VG-2 Mode See Option Select Mode to turn this feature on/ off. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is sounded and the display flashes VG-2. After 3 seconds the audio is canceled and the display no longer flashes. This cycle is repeated if the VG-2 signal is detected again . During the period a VG-2 signal is detected, a radar signal cannot be detected. However, because the VG-2 alert has confirmed that a patrol car is nearby, you are already aware of the potential for speed monitoring and can adjust your speed accordingly. Laser detection is not affected while a VG-2 signal is detected. (See page 24 for more information)

Laser Signature ID (LSID) Identify the Laser guns pulse rate or PPS (Pulses per Second) that is transmitted by the speed laser gun. LSID may also be used to identify other forms of laser sources such as LACC (Laser Assisted Cruise Control) systems found in some high end vehicles. If the Laser PPS information displayed is due to another source such as local airports or LACC, LSID allows you to Lock Out this rate from giving you the continuous audio alert during this and any new encounter of the same rate.

To lock out a PPS, press the Quiet button during the Laser alert. This will place an * on the screen beside the PPS rate and Lock Out this signature ID. Any new encounter with the same Laser Signature ID will provide the display information and two quick beeps.

Caution: Do not lock out a PPS rate if it is close to known speed laser guns.

Segmented Selectable Laser Receiver If these alerts are bothersome, you may wish to make note of the PPS rate for these occurrences. The laser validation windows are separated into segments allowing for customization.

Segment Pulse Rate Laser Area 1: 20Hz to 950Hz Laser Area 2: 2600Hz to 3200Hz Laser Area 3: 3800Hz to 4200Hz

Laser Area 1 covers the traditional laser guns used in North America. Laser Area 2 and 3 cover laser guns recently approved for use in North America. You can change the selection from yes to no individually in option mode. If laser within a group is not used in your area, you may shut off that group (change the selection from Y to N while in Option Select Mode) by pressing the DARK or QUIET buttons.

POP Mode Alerts Because POP Mode radar utilizes the same K or Ka band frequencies, POP Mode Alerts will initially be displayed as POP K or POP Ka then switch to band and signal strength. 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

Example: If X band is alerting, then suddenly a laser signal is detected, the laser warning will override the X band alert.

Option Select Mode Press the Menu button to enter Option Select Mode. Press the Menu button again will step thru in an ascending order while pressing the City button will step thru in a decending order. Press and hold the Menu button to exit. Option mode will automatically exit if no buttons are pressed within 20 seconds.

OPERATIONS OPERATIONS OPERATIONSOPTION SELECT MODE LASER/RADAR ALERTS Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts when X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and signal strength are displayed. The audio alert is continuous and has a Geiger counter-like pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or stronger the radar source.

Laser Audio/Visual Alerts When a laser signal is detected the word LSR and the corresponding laser pulse rate is displayed, the audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds. LSR 238

Pulse Protection Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more of a threat than conventional 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 the display shows:

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.

Reset Features All user features can be reset to factory settings. Remove Power from the unit. Press and hold the Quiet button. Restore Power to the unit. (power switch

turned on) Wait for 2 beeps. Release the Quiet button. Unit is now reset to the following features and settings.

Stay Alert Feature The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a drivers alertness. To engage (when the unit is not alarming): Press and hold the City button for

approximately 2 seconds. Release the button during or immediately after the alert is given.

Display shows:

Within 30-60 seconds, two beeps are sounded; to show alertness, the driver must press either the City, Menu, or Quiet buttons within 3-5 seconds. If a button is pressed within 3-5 seconds, the cycle is repeated.

If a button is not pressed within 3-5 seconds, an alarm sounds

Display shows:

Press the DARK button to exit during the Stay Alert feature.

TROUBLESHOOTINGRADAR/LASER ALERTS RADAR/LASER ALERTS PROBLEM: No display or audio. Check fuse in power cable, replace if

necessary. Check fuse in fuse box, replace if necessary

PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle equipment or electrical accessories (brakes, power mirrors/ windows, directionals, horn, etc.) Check conditions of vehicles electrical system,

including battery and alternator.

PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud enough. Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode. Check audio level setting. Check Speed Selective Auto Quiet setting in

Option Mode.

PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits bumps. Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean. Check connections at both ends of the power

cord. Substitute another cord to determine if the cord is defective. Return defective cord to the factory.

PROBLEM: Unit falses too much. If alarms are POP Ka, switch POP Mode to off. If the above option doesnt help, use a higher

Filter setting or if Ka is not used turn Ka band off. If alarms are X or K band and due to radar

based traffic flow sensors or radar based vehicle blind spot detectors, turn TFSR to ON.

SPEED MONITORING SPEED MONITORING SPEED MONITORING WARRANTY INFORMATION WARRANTY INFORMATION SPECIFICATIONS 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 police measure the

time it takes your vehicle to travel a known distance.

Radar Detector Detectors: VG-2, Spectre The Interceptor VG-2 or simply VG-2, is one type of 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, these devices are known as a radar detector detector (RDD). An RDD is the primary tool used by the police to identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If caught in a state or country where detectors are illegal, drivers risk losing their radar detector and receiving a fine. In addition, instant-on radar is almost always used in combination with an RDD, leaving unsuspecting motorists vulnerable to receive two tickets; one potential for speeding, and the other for possession of a detector.

Note:The newest tool Police have to detect radar detectors is called Spectre. Spectre can detect the majority of undetectable (VG-2) laser/ radar detectors on the market.

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

ARE DETECTORS LEGAL? Check with your local laws regarding radar detector ownership and use. It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector user to know and understand the laws in your area regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors.

POP Mode POP Mode is a feature on some radar guns operating on K and Ka bands. When the gun is in POP Mode and activated, a brief burst of energy, less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and the vehicles speed is quickly acquired. A detector without POP Mode detection capability cannot respond to this brief transmission.

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 guns transmission can cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser guns transmission which covers about 3 feet at the same distance.

For best protection, keep these points in mind:

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

Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you cannot see through. If you cant see past a vehicle ahead of you, chances are your detector cant 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 wave length of 905nm +/- 50nm.

Laser Tips If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often determine 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.

Radar Facts A radar gun operates by transmitting radio waves at certain frequencies which reflect off objects and are 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. This laser/radar detector receives signals from traffic radar guns at X Band (10.500 - 10.550 GHz), K Band (24.050 - 24.250 GHz), and Ka Band (33.400 - 36.000 GHz).

Note: Your radar detector is designed to alarm if an officer is transmitting on any one of the above radar bands.

FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS Mounting Guidelines Mount the unit as low as possible near the

center of the windshield. 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 affects radar signals. Consult your dealer or the vehicles owners manual 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 windshield bracket may leave permanent marks on this type of surface. To find out if your vehicle has this type of windshield, check the vehicles owners manual or ask your dealer.

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INSTALLATION

the standard audio alert pattern; or turn the unit off, then on.

Auto Quiet Mode Auto Quiet mode reduces the selected audio level approximately 5 seconds after a radar signal is detected followed by a reduced tone. The reduced tone will continue for as long as the detected signal is present and for any new signal within 20 seconds. Auto Quiet mode does not affect laser alerts. Press Quiet (before a signal is detected) to engage Auto Quiet mode.

OPERATION OPERATION Highway Mode Highway mode provides full audio warnings any time radar (X, K and Ka) or laser signals are detected, and is recommended for open road driving. For more information on City and Highway modes, please visit our FAQ page on our website: www.whistlergroup.com

Understanding the Display The units display can be set up to indicate Heading, Mode of Operation (Highway and City modes) and Clock.

Signal Strength Display When a radar signal is detected the audio alerts have a geiger counter-like pattern to help you determine the strength of the radar source; the faster the beeping the stronger the radar signal. At the same time the audio is reporting, the display illuminates the band identification Icon and relative signal strength from 1 to 9.

1 = weak signal, 9 = strong signal

Alert Periscopes Whistlers Alert Periscopes provide an added attention getting visual alert. The two extra LEDs flash on and off when the unit alarms to provide a unique visual alert. This alert can be programmed, through the Option Select Mode to: 1. flash for all alarms 2. remain on 3. turn LEDs off completely

OPERATION Red Light/SpeedCamera Detection This unit is capable of alerting to these locations with the updatable database. Getting a Satellite Lock Powering up, the unit will begin its search for satellites. During this time, the unit will flash the satellite icon on the display. Please allow several minutes for the unit to lock onto the satellites. This delay is normal when the unit is turned on at least 500 kilometers from when the unit last received a satellite lock or if several days have passed since its last usage.

NOTE: Driving while initially searching for satellites will take longer than if you are stationary. Acquiring satellites takes much longer the first time.

Camera Alerts When approaching a known camera, the unit will provide the type of alert (Red Light Camera, Traffic Camera, Speed Camera, or User Location). Example: the display will show TRF CAM then count down the distance to the camera. Once past the camera location, the unit will provide a beep-beep audio tone and the word PASS will be shown on the display.

Manual Entry (Waypoint) The unit will save a special location (i.e., a new red light camera or even a trap) if you enter it manually. The unit will store 1000 user locations. NOTE: Manual entries must be approximately 100 meters apart to prevent overlapping locations. To manually enter a location, simply press and hold the QUIET button and the unit will beep to confirm. Manual entries can be deleted within a certain radius (selected in Option Select Mode). Once a radius is selected the data can be deleted within the selected Radius or they all can be deleted completely from memory.

OPERATION Updating the Database Follow the steps below to update the Laser- Radar Detector. Step 1: Remove the Laser-Radar Detector from the vehicle and bring it to your PC. Note: You do not need to power the Laser-Radar Detector to update it. Step 2: Download the update program and install it on your PC Note: Program is not MAC compatible Step 3: Download and save the .msc file downloaded to your PC. Create a folder for the unit so you can store future updates and save this file into the newly created folder.

DO NOT RENAME THE .msc FILE OR TRY TO OPEN IT! Step 4: Open the update program and plug the USB cable into the Laser-Radar Detector. Step 5: Click the Open File button on the update program and locate the saved file from Step 3. Click the DB Update button to install the file. Step 6: When update is complete, close the update program, unplug the USB cable and the Laser-Radar Detector is ready with the new updates.

Dim/Dark Modes Dim/Dark Mode reduces the illumination of the display. Briefly press and release the Dark button to

reduce illumination to a Dim setting.

Briefly press and release the Dark button a second time engages Dark Mode. In Dark Mode, the display goes dark for as long as a signal is being detected and for 20 seconds after, then the display returns to the dim setting. Dim Modes can be engaged during an alert.

OPERATION OPERATION Traffic Flow Signal Rejection (TFSR) Recently, many new products operate on X or K band causing nuisance alerts to radar detectors. Some of these are radar based Traffic Monitoring Systems mounted to poles alongside the highway and others are K Band Lane Change Assistants and Blind Spot Detectors found on some automobiles. When turned on in option mode, helps eliminate excessive alerts from erroneous X and K-band sources. Traffic flow monitoring systems are getting more common. Many of these systems generate radar signals to measure the flow of traffic across multiple lanes. Most detectors will alert you to it unnecessarily. This rejection feature examines the incoming signal and will aid in reducing the alerts to such sources.

We suggest you turn TFSR on if you are experiencing excessive X or K band false alerts every half mile or so along stretches of roadway that contain these traffic flow sensors. Filter Modes There are times when a radar detector in another vehicle, can emit a frequency which can cause your detector to falsely alert. The Filter Modes allow you to select the level needed for your area to minimize the occurrences of these false alerts.

Filter Mode is the factory default setting and should provide adequate filtering for most conditions. If you experience excessive alerts due to radar detectors in other vehicles, increase the Filter level. See Option Select Mode chart to change the filter settings.
