ALERT EXPLANATION
SOLO alerts intermittently. Rate and
strength of alerts may be consistent or
vary wildly.
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.
SOLO alerts intermittently. Rate and
strength of signal increases with each
alert.
A patrol car is approaching from the
other direction, “sampling” traffic with
instant-on radar. Such alerts should
be taken seriously.
SOLO gives an X-band alert
intermittently.
You are driving through an area
populated with radar motion sensors
(door openers, burglar alarms, etc.)
Since these transmitters 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 characteristics
of these alerts may be similar to some
of the preceding examples, overcon-
fidence in an unfamiliar area can be
dangerous. Likewise, if an alert in a
commonly travelled area is suddenly
stronger or on a different band than
usual, speed radar may be set up
nearby.
SOLO braps rapidly and the Signal
Meter scans from right to left.
A fast-travelling emergency vehicle is
in the vicinity.
SOLO sounds a repetitive “double-
brap” and the entire Signal Meter
flashes.
You are approaching a hazardous
road condition such as an accident
site or construction.
SOLO sounds a repetitive “brap” and
the two LEDs on each end of the
Signal Meter alternate flashing.
You are approaching a dangerous
railroad crossing.
