INTRODUCTION

Dear Whistler Owner,

Whistler has developed a complete and comprehensive laser-radar solution for “TUNERS”. This unit allows laser-radar protection that complements other automotive gauges installed in the vehicle.

Not only does this unit provide a stealthy installation but also delivers very powerful protection from the newest laser-radar guns – especially POP™ Mode detection! Along with POP™ Mode this unit also offers:

PROGRAMMABLE BLUE BACKLIT LCD TEXT DISPLAY

Create your own custom 10 character text display. The easy to read blue display shows alert and detector status.

BATTERY VOLT METER

Displays the battery voltage.

TEMPERATURE METER

Provides outside temperature with freezing alert.

CONTROL PANEL DESIGNED TO FIT 2 1/16” GAUGE MOUNTS

This allows use of after market housings to further customize this unit.

Even though this unit is packed full of features, it’s still very easy to use. To fully utilize your unit to its potential, we recommend reading this entire manual or visit our FAQ page on our web site www.whistlergroup.com.

Enjoy your new Whistler and please drive safely.

Sincerely,

The Whistler Group, Inc.

Unit then gives a unique warning tone and the backlight will flash. This will only happen once after the unit is first turned on. When either Hi T or Lo T is displayed, the limits of the temperature sensor have been reached.

Note: Temperature may rise while vehicle is stopped and idling, this is normal.

Programmable Text Display

This model has the ability to modify the standard laser/radar detector’s display. “WHISTLER”, “HIGHWAY”, “CITY”, “CITY 1”, and “CITY 2” can be changed to display your name, or any combination of 10 characters. For example, “HIGHWAY” can be changed to “GO 4 IT”. Note: A space is counted as a character.

WARNING!!! Programming the text display is not intended to be done while you are driving. You should not use any device in a vehicle that may distract you from observing the road ahead.
