added attention getting visual alert. The two extra
LED’s flash on and off when the unit alarms to pro-
vide a unique visual alert. This alert can be pro-
grammed, through the Option Select Mode to: 1.
flash for all alarms, 2. remain on, or 3. turn LEDs off
completely.
City/City 1/City 2 Mode
Whistler’s Three Stage City Mode is designed to
reduce the annoyance of automatic door open-
ers, intrusion alarms and other devices which
share frequencies with police radar. Generally, X
band is used for these devices.

• Press City again to enter City 2 Mode
• Pressing City a fourth time cancels City 2
Mode and returns the unit to Highway Mode.
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals
give an initial alarm of two beeps, and then
remains quiet unless the signal becomes very
strong. When the signal strength increases, two
additional beeps are provided. City 1 and City 2
Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but
in City 1 Mode, only the X band sensitivity is
lowered. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detect-
ed.
Caution: Some towns/small cities may still be
using X band radar
. City Modes do not change
the audio alert for laser or VG-2.
OPERATION
Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio warnings any
time radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser sig-
nals are detected, and is recommended for
open road driving. ( Highway Mode displays every signal )
