LASER-RADAR DETECTOR

POP MODE ALERTSLASER/RADAR ALERTS Safety Warning System/Audio/Visual Alerts When your Whistler detector detects a safety radar signal, it provides a distinctive audio tone and the Numeric Icon display shows an S. and a decimal point when a Safety radar signal is detected. (XTR-265/335)

NOTE: You will not be able to receive SWS alerts if transmitters are not located in your area.

VG-2 ALERTS

VG-2 Detection Mode The VG-2, also known as a radar detector detector, is a special receiver used by police to detect signals radiated by a radar detector. See page 21 for more information on VG-2.

When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is sounded. After 3 seconds, the audio is cancelled and the VG-2 indicator flashes at a slower rate. Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal. This cycle is repeated if the VG-2 signal is detected again. If no signal is detected, two beeps are provided indicating an all clear condition.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Your Whistler detector is expertly engineered and designed to exacting quality standards to provide you with reliable, trouble-free operation. If your unit has been correctly installed following the guidelines in this manual, but is not operating optimally, please refer to the troubleshooting guide below.

PROBLEM: No display or audio. Check fuse in plug; replace if necessary with a 2 amp, 3AG type. Check fuse for lighter socket; replace if necessary. Make sure the lighter socket is clean.

PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud enough. Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode. Check audio level setting (see pg.8). PROBLEM: The 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 the cord is defective. Return the defective cord to the factory.

If difficulties occur which cannot be solved by information in this Troubleshooting Guide, please call Whistler Customer Service at 1-800-531-0004 or visit our FAQ page at www.whistlergroup.com/faq-detectors.asp before returning your unit for service.

Care & Maintenance During the summer months, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight by removing your unit from the dash when your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time. Do not spray water, cleaners, or polishes directly onto the unit. The spray may penetrate through the openings and damage the unit. Also, do not use any abrasive cleaners on the units exterior.

In Most States YES! Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state for automobiles and light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.) except Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have local regulations restricting the use of radar receivers in any vehicle.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) passed a nationwide regulation, effective January 1994, which prohibited radar and laser detector use in vehicles over 10,000 lbs.

SPEED MONITORING 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), and Ka Band (33.400 - 36.000 GHz).

NOTE: A radar detector will only alarm if an officer is transmitting on any one of the above radar bands.

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, listed on the following section, in mind:

SPEED MONITORING Laser Facts (Continued) 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. If you cant see past a vehicle ahead of you, chances are your detector wont either.

The receiving range of laser signals will not be the same as radar signals. 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 +/- 10nm.

ProLaserIIIIIILT120-20UltraLyte

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.

SPEED MONITORING Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2) Spectre 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 a tool used by the police to identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If caught, in a state where detectors are illegal, (see page 18), 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 ticketsone 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.

For more information on speed monitoring technologies, please visit our F.A.Q. page on our website: www.whistlergroup.com

It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector operator to know and understand the laws in your area regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors. NOTE: Having a radar detector capable of detecting the VG-2 may alert you to the presence of a speed trap. 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.

Mounting Guidelines Mount the unit as low as possible near the center

of the windshield. Do not mount the 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 owners manual to determine if your windshield has this coating.

Avoid placing unit in direct contact with the windshield.

To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal the 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: Make sure the unit is level

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 owners manual or ask your dealer. We recommend that you do not leave the suction cup bracket on the windshield in direct sunlight. If the detector is removed, this may cause blistering of the dash in some vehicles.

OPERATION

City/City I/City II Mode Whistlers Three Stage City Mode is designed to reduce the annoyance of automatic door openers, intrusion alarms and other devices which share frequencies with police radar. Generally, X band is used for these devices. PressCitybuttontocancelHighwayMode and engage City Mode. PressCitybuttonagaintoenterCity1Mode PressCitybuttonagaintoenterCity2Mode PressCitybuttonafourthtimetocancelCity2 Mode and return the unit to Highway Mode. In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals give an initial alarm of two beeps, and then remains quiet unless the signal becomes very strong. When the signal strength increases, two additional beeps are provided. City 1 and City 2 Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but in City 1 Mode, X band requires a stronger signal to alert. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected.

Caution: Some towns/small cities may still be using X band radar. City Modes do not change the audio alert for laser or VG-2.

Highway Mode Highway mode provides full audio warnings any time radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser signals are detected, and is recommended for open road driving.

OPERATION OPERATION

Low Profile Alert Periscopes Whistlers Low Profile 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 be: ON, OFF, or FLASHING during alerts. (XTR-265/335 only)

PressandreleasetheDarkbuttonathirdtime to restore the display to full illumination.

Engaging/Disengaging VG-2 See Option Select Mode to turn this feature on.

Vehicle Battery Saver Mode The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatically shuts off your detector after 6 hours. The timer is reset if the detector is turned off, unplugged or any button is pressed before the time has expired. The detector will alert you with an audible and visual warning before it shuts off. During this warning, you can momentarily reset the unit by pressing any button. This will reset the timer. If the unit has automatically turned itself off, press any button to turn the unit back on.

Stay Alert Feature (XTR-265/335) The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a drivers alertness. To engage (when unit is not alarming): Press and hold the City button for less then 2

seconds. The H or C will flash indicating Stay Alert is activated.Within 30-60 seconds two beeps are sounded; to show alertness, the driver must press either the City, Menu or Quiet button within 3-5 seconds. If the button is pressed within 3-5 seconds, the cycle is repeated. If a button was not pressed within 3-5 seconds, the alarm sounds and the display flashes all the LEDs.

Press Dark to cancel Stay Alert.

WARNING!!! Stay Alert is NOT intended as a substitute for adequate rest. You should NOT operate a vehicle if you are drowsy. During extended periods of vehicle operation, you should take frequent breaks. Improper reliance on the Stay Alert may result in vehicle damage, personal injury or death. NEVER OPERATE A VEHICLE IF YOU ARE DROWSY.

OPERATION Laser Audio / Visual Alerts When a laser signal is detected, the display indicates alert by illuminating the V/L and scrolling the signal strength indicators from right to left or display indicates an L on the display. The audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.

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!

Pulse Protection Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to detect 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 . Models XTR145 will flash the Alert strength indicators at their fastest rate; on models XTR- 265/335 a P will be displayed. 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.
