Spectre Audio Mode
When Spectre Audio mode is On, alerts will be sounded as well as being
displayed on the screen. This setting is only available if Spectre Alert is On. After
Spectre Alert is turned On in the Alert Settings menu, the Spectre Audio On/Off
screen will appear. If Spectre Audio Alert is turned Off, the audio portion of the
alert will not sound.
Safety and Strobe Alert
When Safety Alert mode is On, Safety Alert radar signals will be detected and an
alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect other signals.
Strobe Alert remains On when Safety Alert is turned Off. See pages
32 and 33 for more information about Safety and Strobe Alerts.
Car Battery Low Voltage Warning
In addition to displaying system voltage, your detector can provide a warning
that battery voltage is low so that timely steps can be taken to correct the
problem. The Car Battery Low alert is triggered when the voltage drops below
11.9 volts. Following the alert, the unit enters SmartPower mode to avoid further
draining your car battery.
NOTE
For GPS settings and alerts, see the material beginning at page 38.
Radar and Laser Alerts
•
Signals Detected
The tables on the following pages show the types of radar and laser signals your
detector will detect, as well as the visual alerts it provides for each of them.
Audio Alerts
A distinctly different Alert tone is used for each type of signal detected (including
separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K, Ka and Ku 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 on page 31.
Visual Display
An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the OLED Data Display.
During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, you will also see symbols indicating the strength of
the signal detected on a scale of one to ve. Pop alerts always show at level ve
as soon as they are detected.
