Pressing QUIET before a radar signal is
detected provides an alternate alert pattern,
consisting of four beeps (indicating X, K, Ka or Safety
Radar) followed by clicking. The clicking will continue
for as long as the detected signal is present or any
new signal is detected within 20 seconds, becoming
more rapid as the strength of the signal increases.

Vehicle Battery Saver Mode
The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatically
shuts off your detector after 6 hours if you
forget to turn it off. The timer is reset if the
detector is turned off, unplugged or any
button is pressed before the time has expired.
The detector will alert you with an audible and
visual warning before it shuts off.During this
warning you can momentarily reset the unit by
pressing any button. This will reset the timer. If
the unit has automatically turned itself off,
press any button to turn the unit back on.
Stay Alert Feature (1734 Only)
The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a
driver’s alertness. To engage (when unit is not
alarming):
• Press and hold City for less then 2 seconds. The ”H” or
“C” will flash indicating Stay Alert is activated.Within
30-60 seconds two beeps are sounded; to show
alertness, the driver must press either the Volume, City
or Quiet button within 3-5 seconds. If the button is
pressed within 3-5 seconds, the cycle is repeated. If a
button was not pressed within 3-5 seconds, alarm
sounds and the display will flash all LEDs.
• Press Power to cancel Stay Alert.
WARNING!!! Stay Alert is NOT intended as a
substitute for adequate rest. You should NOT operate a
vehicle if you are drowsy. During extended periods of
vehicle operation, you should take frequent breaks.
Improper reliance on the Stay Alert may result i n vehicle
damage, personal injury or death.
NEVER OPERATE A VEHICLE IF YOU ARE DROWSY.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Laser Audio / Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected, the display
indicates a laser by scrolling the alert LED’s
from right to left or displaying an “L” on the
display. The audio alert is continuous for a
minimum of 3 seconds.
Laser Tips
If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun
can often determine your speed within a few
seconds after you receive an alert. In this
situation there is generally no time to safely
adjust your speed. However, if you are
traveling near or behind the targeted
vehicle and receive an alert, response time
should be sufficient. Any laser alert, regardless
of duration, requires immediate action!
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 flashes the Alert strength
indicators at their fastest rate. (The 1734
model displays “P”.) After the 3-second
pulse alert, the standard alert pattern continues for as long as the signal is present. It is
important to respond promptly to a pulse
alert, since warning time may be minimal.

When a VG-2 signal is detected the VG-2

1730/1732 models). This cycle is repeated if
the VG-2 signal is again detected.
During the period a VG-2 signal is
detected, a radar signal cannot be
detected. However, because the VG-2 alert
has confirmed that a patrol car is nearby,
you are already aware of the potential for
speed monitoring and can adjust your
speed accordingly. Laser detection is not
affected while a VG-2 signal is detected.

ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES!
Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every
state (with the exception of 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.).
Concerning trucks over 10,000 lbs., the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
issued a regulation, effective January, 1994
which prohibits radar and laser detector use
in these types of vehicles nationally. Prior to
the FHWA regulation, laws existed in the
state of New York restricting the use of radar
detectors in trucks over 18,000 lbs. and in
Illinois in trucks over 26,000 lbs.

Radar Facts
SPEED FACTS
A radar gun operates by transmitting radio
waves at certain frequencies which reflect off
objects and are then picked up by the radar
gun’s receiving section. When a radar beam
reflects off a moving target, a measurable
frequency shift occurs. The radar unit converts
this shift into miles per hour to determine your
vehicle’s speed. Currently, the FCC (Federal
Communications Commission) permits
operation of traffic radar guns at X Band
(10.500 - 10.550 GHz), K Band (24.050 - 24.250
GHz), and Ka Band (33.400 - 36.000 GHz).
Note:
A radar detector will not alarm if an
officer is not transmitting on any one of the above
radar bands.
Laser Facts
It’s well documented that many radar guns
cannot reliably provide the speed of a
targeted vehicle that is traveling in a group of
vehicles. In contrast, a laser gun can tar
specific vehicle out of a line of traffic and
determine its speed. The advantage of laser
over radar in terms of target identification is
the result of the laser gun’s narrow beam. A
radar transmission can cover more than a
four-lane highway at a distance of 1,000 feet,
compared with a laser transmission which
covers about 3 feet at the same distance. For
best protection, keep these points, listed on
the following section, in mind:

Laser Facts (Continued)
SPEED FACTS
• Because your vehicle’s license plate or
headlights are the laser gun’s primary targets,
mounting your Whistler detector on the
dashboard can improve laser detection at short
range.
• Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you
cannot see through. If you can’t see past a
vehicle ahead of you, chances are your detector
won’t either.
• The receiving range of your laser detector
will not be the same as a radar detector. Laser
guns are most often used at short range.
Whistler Laser/Radar detectors receive all current
laser guns which operate at a laser wavelength of 905
+/- 10mm.
• Pro Laser
• LTI 20-20
• Ultra Lyte
Other Speed Detection Systems
Several techniques other than radar or laser are
used to measure vehicle speeds. When these
methods are being used, no detector can
provide a warning.
These techniques include:

SPEED FACTS
Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2)
Spectre
is a microwave receiver used by police to
detect signals radiated by the local oscillator
of a radar detector. Because its purpose is to
identify persons driving with radar detectors,
the VG-2 is known as a “radar detector
detector”.The VG-2 is the primary tool used
by the police to identify radar detector
equipped vehicles. If caught, in a state where
detectors are illegal, (see page 18), drivers risk
losing their radar detector and receiving a
fine. In addition, instant-on radar is almost
always used in combination with a VG-2, leaving
unsuspecting motorists vulnerable to receiving
two tickets—one potentially for speeding, the
other for possession of a detector. Having a
radar detector capable of detecting the VG-2
