Auto Quiet Mode
Auto Quiet mode reduces the selected audio level to
level (1) approximately 5 seconds after a radar or safety
radar signal is detected. The alert for any new signal
within 20 seconds will resume at level (1). Auto Quiet
mode does not affect laser alerts.
• Press Quiet (before a signal is detected) to engage
Auto Quiet mode.

In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals
give an initial alarm of two beeps, and then
remains quiet unless the signal becomes very
strong. When the signal strength increases, two
additional beeps are provided. City 1 and City 2
Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but
in City 1 Mode, X band requires a stronger
signal to alert. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not
detected.
Caution: Some towns/small cities may still be
using X band radar. City Modesdo not change

Stay Aler
The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a driver’s
alertness. To engage (when the unit is not alarming) :
• Press and hold the City button for approximately 2
s
econds. Release the button during or immediately after
t
he alert is given. Display shows:
Within 30-60 seconds, an alert is sounded; to show
alertness, the driver must press either the City, Menu, or
Quiet buttons within 3-5 seconds. If a button is pressed
within 3-5 seconds, the cycle is repeated.
If a button is not pressed within 3-5 seconds, an alarm
sounds and the display shows:
• Press the Dark button to exit the Stay Alert feature.
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 feature may result in vehicle damage, personal
injury or death. NEVER OPERATE A VEHICLE IF YOU
ARE DROWSY.
In communities where transmitters are located,
the Safety Warning System™displays over 60 text

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.

VG-2 ALERTS
VG-2 Audio/V
Note: You must turn this feature on before it will detect VG-2.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector “hides” its
own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the
V
G-2. Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2
s
ignal. If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues
to hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is
detected, two beeps are provided, indicating an “all
clear” condition. During a VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band
signals cannot be received (see pg. 11).
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are re

TROUBLESHOOTING
our Whistler detector is expertly engineered

nd designed to exacting quality standards to
a
provide you with reliable, trouble-free operation.
f your unit has been correctly installed following
I
he guidelines in this manual, but is not
t
operating optimally, please refer to the
roubleshooting guide below.
t
PROBLEM: No display or audio.
• Check the fuse in the plug; replace if
necessary with a 2 amp, 3AG type.
• Check the fuse for lighter socket; replace if
necessary.
• Make sure the lighter socket is clean.
PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits
bumps.
• Check for a loose lighter socket; tighten and
clean.
• Check the connections at both ends of the
power cord. Substitute another cord to
determine if the cord is defective. Return the
defective cord to the factory.
PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud
enough.
• Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.
• Check audio level setting. (see page 8)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
e And Maintenance
Car
uring the summer months, avoid prolonged
D
xposure to direct sunlight by removing your unit
e
from the dash when your vehicle is parked for an
xtended period of time. Do not spray water,
e
leaners, or polishes directly onto the un it. The
c
spray may penetrate through the openings and
damage the unit. Also, do not use any abrasive
cleaners on the unit’s exterior.
ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES!
Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state for
automobiles and light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.)
except Virginia and Washington, D.C., which
have local regulations restricting the use of
radar receivers in any vehicle.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
passed a nationwide regulation, effective
January 1994, which prohibited radar and laser
detector use in vehicles over 10,000 lbs.

SPEED MONITORING
Radar Facts
A radar gun operates by transmitting radio
waves at certain frequencies which reflect off
objects and are picked up by the radar gun’s
receiving section. When a radar beam reflects
off a mo vin g ta r get , a measurable frequency shift
occurs. The radar unit converts this shift into miles
per hour to determine your vehicle’s speed.
Currently, the FCC 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 only alarm if an
officer is transmitting on any one of the above
radar bands.

SPEED MONITORING
POP™ Mode
POP™Mode is a featur
operating on K and Ka bands. When the gun is in
POP™Mode and activated, a brief burst of ener
less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and the
s speed is quickly acquired. A detector

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 la s e r gun can target a specific vehicle
out of a line of traffic and determine its speed. The
advantage o f l a s er over radar in terms of
target identification is the result of th e l a se r g u n ’s
narrow beam. A radar gun’s transmission can
cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance
of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser gun’s
transmission which covers about 3 feet at the
same distance. For best protection, keep these
points in mind:
• Because the vehicle’s license plate or
headlights are the laser gun’s primary targets,
mounting the Whistler detector on the
dashboard can improve laser detection at
short range.
• Do not follow closely behind any vehicle. If you
can’t see past a vehicle ahead of you, chances
are your detector won’t either.
• The receiving range of laser signals will
not be the same as radar signals. 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
+/- 10nm.

SPEED MONITORING
Laser Tips
f you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can
I
often determine your speed within a few
econds after you receive an alert. In this
s
ituation, there is generally no time to safely
s
adjust your speed. However, if you are traveling
ear or behind the targeted vehicle and receive
n
n alert, response time should be sufficient. Any
a
aser alert, regardless of duration, requires
l
mmediate action!

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:

Radar Detector Detectors: VG-2,
Spectre
The Interceptor VG-2 or simply VG-2, is one type of
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, these devices are known as a
“radar detector detector” (RDD).
An RDD is the primary tool used by the police to
identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If caught
in a state or country 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 an RDD,
leaving unsuspecting motorists vulnerable to receive
two tickets - one potential for speeding, and the
other for possession of a detector.
