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 shows:
After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert
pattern continues for as long as the signal is
present.
It is important to r
espond pr
omptly to a pulse
alert, since warning time may be minimal.

TROUBLESHOOTING
D
uring the summer months, avoid prolonged
e
xposure to direct sunlight by removing your unit
from the dash when your vehicle is parked for an
e
xtended period of time. Do not spray water,
c
leaners, or polishes directly onto the unit. The
spray may penetrate through the openings and

ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES.
Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state
(except Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have
local regulations restricting the use of radar
receivers in any vehicle) when used in
automobiles or light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.).
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
issued a regulation, effective January, 1994 which
prohibits radar and laser detector use in vehicles
over 10,000 lbs. Prior to the FHWA regulation,
laws existed in New York restricting the use of radar
detectors in trucks over 18,000 lbs. and in Illinois in
trucks over 26,000 lbs.
