Calibre UK K40 User Manual

INSTANT-ON RADAR WARNINGS

When Calibre detects an instant-on or pulse radar
signal, it sounds an urgent, high pitched alert tone,
accompanied by rapid flashing of the blue warning
LED(s).

LINEAR GEIGER CIRCUIT

During a radar encounter, audio and visual warnings
will intensify as you get closer to the police threat and
diminish in intensity as the threat passes.

MUTE CIRCUIT

During a radar encounter, Calibre will audibly alert
for several seconds and then switch to a quieter
clicking sound. After 60 seconds, Calibre will
automatically silence the alert, providing only visual
warnings for the duration of the signal.

EASY MUTE™

In addition to K40's exclusive Auto Mute, you can
completely mute an active radar warning at any time
with a single press of any of three buttons on the
Remote Control. After two seconds, Calibre will mute
the audio alert for the duration of the encounter. Do
not press any of the buttons more than once as doing
so will change your settings. Once the encounter is
over, Calibre resets itself to your original settings.

revolutionary technology.

INITIAL WAKE-UP SEQUENCE

Your K40 Calibre Remote Radar & Laser System is
designed to turn on with the ignition. After starting
your vehicle, Calibre will flash both of the blue
warning LED lights three times in sequence (models
with one radar receiver have only one blue LED),
followed by three rapid audio beeps, letting you
know the system is operational. In Mute / Lights Only
mode, only the lights will flash during the wake-up
sequence. There are no audio beeps.

There are eight driver selectable settings on the
Remote Control. The three buttons located at the

Calibre system. The left button allows you to adjust
the volume to HIGH, LOW, or full time MUTE. The
center button enables you to select either VOICE or
TONE alerts. And the right button lets you place
Calibre in CITY or HIGHWAY mode, or turn the
system OFF.

To change a setting, simply press and release any of
the three selector buttons to activate the Remote

SELECTABLE DRIVER SETTINGS-

REMOTE CONTROL

HIGHWAY MODE

When Calibre is in HIGHWAY mode, it will provide
full sensitivity and warnings to all FCC allocated
police radar bands and technology. Upon selecting
this mode, Calibre will provide a voice confirmation
that states, "HIGHWAY."

ADVANCED CITY MODE

When Calibre is in CITY mode, it will virtually
eliminate false alerts by removing all X-band radar
signal warnings, the most common source of
non-police radar signals. This mode also engages a
filter system that is designed to reduce other weaker
non-police signals while remaining on total top alert
for police radar. Upon selecting this mode, Calibre
will provide a voice confirmation that states, "CITY."

OFF MODE

When Calibre is in OFF mode, the system is turned
off and it will not receive or report radar signals.
Upon selecting this mode, Calibre will provide a
voice confirmation that states, "K40 OFF." Calibre
will stay in the OFF mode, even after restarting your
vehicle, until you place the system in the CITY or

HIGHWAY mode through the Remote Control.

VOICE MODE

When Calibre is in VOICE mode, each radar warning
is accompanied by a voice alert indicating what
direction the signal is coming from, front or rear, and
the band of radar that was detected (e.g. "FRONT KA
BAND" or "REAR K BAND"). On models that only
feature a front radar receiver, only the band identifi­cation will be stated. Upon selecting this mode,
Calibre will provide a voice confirmation that states,
"VOICE MODE."

TONE MODE

When Calibre is in TONE mode, each radar warning
is accompanied by a unique tone sound for front or
rear alerts. On models that feature a single radar
receiver, tones are the same regardless of the
direction of the signal. Upon selecting this mode,
Calibre will provide a voice confirmation that states,
"TONE MODE."

HIGH VOLUME

When Calibre is in HIGH mode, the audio volume
will be at its loudest setting. This mode is ideal for
convertibles, vehicles with loud audio systems, or
those with hearing difficulty. Upon selecting this
mode, Calibre will provide a voice confirmation that
states, "VOLUME HIGH."

LOW VOLUME

When Calibre is in LOW mode, the audio volume
will be at its quietest setting. Upon selecting this
mode, Calibre will provide a voice confirmation that
states, "VOLUME LOW."

MUTE VOLUME / LIGHTS ONLY MODE

When Calibre is in MUTE mode, all radar and laser
warning audio will be turned off. When radar or laser
is detected, only visual light warnings are provided.
Upon selecting this mode, Calibre will provide a
voice confirmation that states, "LIGHTS ONLY."

Modifications to the Calibre system not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user's FCC granted authority to operate
the equipment.
