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 option 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.
Filter: Allows for normal filtering.
Filter 1: Provides an extra step to analyze the signals
that may come from other detectors.
Filter is the factory default and should provide adequate
filtering for most conditions. If you experience excessive
alerts due to radar detectors in other vehicles, try the
Filter 1 option. Filter Mode functions in both Highway
and City Modes. See Option Select Mode to change
Filter settings.
