Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K, or Ka band is detected, the band ID
and signal strength is displayed. The audio alert
is continuous and has a geiger counter-like
pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or
stronger the radar source.

Pulse Protection
®
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to
detect than conventional radar because it
remains off until activated to measure the speed
of a targeted vehicle.
When a pulse type transmission is detected, your
Whistler detector sounds an urgent 3-second
audio warning and the display will show a max
signal strength level.

After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert
pattern continues for as long as the signal is
present.
It is important to respond promptly to a pulse
alert, since warning time may be minimal.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the
same time, the alert priority is:
1. Laser
2. VG-2
3. Speed Radar
4. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly a VG-2
signal is detected, the VG-2 warning will
override the X band alert.
POP MODE ALERTS
POPMode Alerts
Because POP
Mode travels on regular radar
bandwidth, there is no particular alert for POP
Mode transmissions. POP
Mode alerts will be
displayed as a regular radar alert.
