Escort 9500I Radar Detector User Manual


 
21
Explanation
A patrol car is travelling in front of you with
a radar source aimed forward. Because
signals are sometimes reflected off of large
objects and sometimes not, the alerts may
seem inconsistent.
A patrol car is approaching from the other
direction, sampling traffic with instant-on
radar. Such alerts should be taken seriously.
You are driving through an area populated
with radar motion sensors (door openers,
burglar alarms, etc.). Since these transmit-
ters are usually contained inside buildings or
aimed toward OR away from you, they are
typically not as strong or lasting as a real
radar encounter.
CAUTION: Since the characteris-
tics of these alerts may be similar to
some of the preceding examples,
over-confidence in an unfamiliar
area can be dangerous. Likewise, if
an alert in a commonly traveled
area is suddenly stronger or on a
different band than usual, speed
radar may be set up nearby.
