Signals Detected
The tables on the following pages show
you the types of signals your ESD-9230 WX
will detect, as well as the voice and
visual alerts it provides for each one.
Audio Alerts
In Voice Alert™ mode you will first hear
several tones, then a voice message
announcing the type of signal detected,
followed by more tones. In Tone Alert
mode, you will hear the tones only.
In both Voice Alert™ and Tone Alert modes,
a distinctly different alert tone is used for
each type of signal detected (including
separate tones for each laser signal). For
X, K and Ka band radar signals, the tones
will repeat faster as you approach the signal
source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you
useful information about the signal detected.
(See Responding to Alerts, page 17.)
Visual Display
An indication of the type of signal detected
will appear in the UltraBright™ Data Display.
During X, K and Ka alerts, from one to three
ovals will also appear, indicating the strength
of the signal detected. (band indicator
only = weakest signal, all ovals lit =
strongest signal)
During laser alerts the letter ”L“ will appear,
instead of the signal strength indication.
During VG-2 Alert
®
the letter ”V“ will appear.
During Safety Alert
®
and Strobe Alert™
the letter ”S“ will appear.
