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 Aler
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 Alertmay result in vehicle damage, personal injury or death.
NEVER OPERATE A VEHICLE IF YOU ARE DROWSY.
t Feature (SRT 35R Only)

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 SRT 35R 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.

VG-2 ALERTS
VG-2 Detection Mode
The VG-2, also known as a “radar detector detector,” is a special receiver used by police to detect signals radiated by a radar detector. See page 21 for more information on VG-2.
SRT 30R: Press the VG-2 button once. Unit beeps once for on, twice for off.
SRT 35R: Press and hold the quiet button. Unit beeps once for VG-2 on, twice for off.
When a VG-2 signal is detected the VG-2 alert is sounded. After 3 seconds the audio is cancelled and the VG-2 indicator flashes at a slower rate. 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.
:
NNoottee:
On the SRT 30R model, VG-2 must be turned on each time the unit is turned on to receive VG-2 Alerts.

ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES!
Laser detectors are completely legal in every state when used in automobiles or light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.). Similarly, when used in automobiles or light trucks, radar detectors are legal in almost every state. Exceptions are Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have local regulations restricting the use of radar receivers in any vehicle. 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 the state of Illinois in trucks over 26,000 lbs.

SPEED FACTS
Radar 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 pr that is traveling in a group of vehicles. In contrast, a laser gun can target a 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:

SPEED FACTS
Laser Facts (Continued)
• 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 can not 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.

SPEED FACTS
Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2) Spectre
The Interceptor VG-2, or simply VG-2, 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 may alert you to the presence of a speed trap.
