Interpreting Alerts
Although the Road Tech 75 has a comprehensive warning system and this
handbook is as complete as we can make it, only experience will teach you
what to expect from your Road Tech 75 detector and how to interpret what it is
telling you. The radar alerts you receive are affected by the specific type of
radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on) and the
location of the radar source.
The following examples will give you an introduction to understanding the
Road Tech 75’s warning system for radar, laser and safety alerts.
Alert Explanation
Road Tech 75 begins to sound slowly,
and then the rate of alerts increases
until the alert becomes a solid tone.
The Signal Meter ramps accordingly.
You are approaching a continuous
radar source aimed in your direction.
Road Tech 75 emits short alerts for a
few seconds and then falls silent only
to briefly alert and fall silent again.
An instant-on radar source is being
used ahead of you and out of your
view.
Road Tech 75 suddenly sounds a con-
tinuous tone for the appropriate band
received. All segments in the Signal
Strength Meter are lit.
An instant-on radar source or laser
source is being used nearby. This kind
of alert requires immediate attention!
A brief laser alert. Laser is being used in the area.
Because laser is inherently difficult to
detect, any laser alert may indicate a
source very close by.
