Filter Mode (N/A on XTR-500/550)
There are times when a radar detector can emit
the same frequency as police radar and can
cause your detector to falsely alarm. Sometimes
a detector can display a signal when picking up
another radar detector in vehicle close by. The
Whistler Filter Mode options provide a method
to study the signal which will verify if the signal
is a legitimate police radar or a false alert from
another detector. Two options exist:
Filter: Allows for normal filtering.
Filter 1: Provides and extra step to analyze the
legitimacy of the signal.
Filter is the factory default and should provide
adequate filtering for most conditions. If you
experience excessive alerts due to radar detec-
tors in other vehicles, try the Filter 1 option.
Filter Mode does not override Highway or City
settings. See Option Select Mode to change
Filter settings.
