Rubber Bumper
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 user guide to determine if your windshield has this coating. Avoid placing unit in direct contact with the wind shield. To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal the unit when not in use.
INSTALLATION
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.
Note: 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 user guide 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. Power Connection Plug the small end of the power cord into the units power jack. Plug the large end into the vehicles cigarette lighter. Fuse Replacement The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable 2 amp, 3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully unscrew the tip of the plug.
City/City 1/City 2 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.
Press City button to cancel Highway Mode and engage City Mode. Press City button again to enter City 1 Mode Press City button again to enter City 2 Mode Press City button a fourth time to cancel City 2 Mode and return the unit to Highway Mode.
In City Mode, weak speed/safety warning system 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 Mode does 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 Warning System) or laser signals are detected, and is recommended for open road driving.
Field Disturbance Sensor Rejection (FDSR) Traffic Flow Sensor Rejection (TFSR) Recently many new products that operate on police radar frequencies have been causing nuisance alerts to radar detectors. These radar based sensors are installed alongside the Highway and more recently on vehicles used as lane change assist / blind spot detectors / collision avoidance systems. TFSR when turned ON is designed to eliminate alerts from specific Traffic Flow sensors. FDSR when turned ON is designed to identify all radar based collision avoidance systems that operate within the same band as police radar and provide a brief less intrusive alert to keep you informed and aware. A signal strength indicator will help determine your proximity to the source without the continued annoyance of audio.
We suggest you turn FDSR ON if you are experiencing excessive random false alerts when behind select vehicles.
NOTE: TFSR and FDSR are ON by default and not selectable on the Z11R+/Z-11RS
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 be: ON, OFF, or FLASHING during alerts.
Dim/Dark Mode Dim/Dark Mode reduces the illumination of the display.
Press and release the Dark button to reduce illumination to a dim setting.
Press and release the Dark button a second time to engage Dark Mode. The display illumination is further reduced.
Dim or Dark can be engaged during an alert. In Dark Mode, the display goes dark for as long as a signal is being detected and 20 seconds after, then the display returns to the dimmer setting.
Press and release the Dark button a third time 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 within 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 (Z-15R+/Z-15RS Only) 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 button during or immediately after the alert is given. 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 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 and the display flashes all the LEDs.
Press the Dark button to exit the Stay Alert feature.
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 feature may result in vehicle damage, personal injury or death.
Laser Audio / Visual Alerts When a laser signal is detected, model Z-11R+/Z-11RS display indicates alert by illuminating the V/L and scrolling the signal strength indicators from right to left. Model Z-15R+/Z-15RS 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. Model Z-11R+/Z-11RS will flash the alert strength indicators at their fastest rate; on model Z-15R+/Z-15RS 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.
Safety Warning System/Audio/Visual Alerts When your Whistler detector detects a safety warning system, it provides a distinctive audio tone and; Model Z-11R+/Z-11RS illuminates the first and last alert LED; Model Z-15R+/Z-15RS display shows an S. and a decimal point when a Safety warning system is detected.
Z-15R+/Z-15RS Display Shown
NOTE: You will not be able to receive SWS alerts if transmitters are not located in your area.
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 speed monitoring section for more information on VG-2.
When the 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.

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.
Auto Quiet Mode Pressing QUIET before a radar signal is detected provides an alternate alert pattern, consisting of several beeps (indicating X, K, Ka or Safety Warning System) followed by reduced tone. The reduced tone will continue for as long as the detected signal is present or any new signal is detected within 20 seconds, becoming more rapid as the strength of the signal increases.
Press Quiet (before a signal is detected) to engage Auto Quiet. Once the Auto Quiet mode is engaged, you may cancel the audio alarm by pressing Quiet. Press Quiet (when the unit is not alarming) to cancel Auto Quiet mode.
Quiet Mode Quiet mode cancels audio during an alert and any new alert within 20 seconds. After 20 seconds of no alerts, the audio is restored for any new alerts.
Press Quiet to cancel the audio. Press Quiet a second time during an alert to restore the standard audio alert pattern; or turn the unit off, then on.

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 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 FAQ 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: 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.
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:
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 50 nm including but not limited to the following:
Ultra Lyte LTI 20 - 20 LTI TruSpeed S Pro Laser I II III Laser Ally Laser Atlanta Stealth Mode
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.
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
IMPORTANT: FCC requirements state that changes or modifications 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), 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.
NOTE: To exit Option Select Mode press and hold the menu button. Reset Features All user features can be reset to factory settings. Factory Reset 1. Unplug Power Cord from unit 2. Press and hold Quiet 3. Plug the Power Cord into the unit (Power switch turned on) 4. Wait for 2 beeps 5. Release the Quiet button
POP Mode Alerts Because POP Mode radar utilizes the same K or Ka band frequencies, POP Mode Alerts will be displayed as regular radar alerts.
Option Select Mode Press the Menu button to enter Option Select Mode. Each press of the Menu button changes to the next selectable feature. The Dark (D) button and the Quiet (Q) button turns the feature ON/ OFF or Blinking for example.
