INSTALLATION
Mounting Guidelines
• Mount the unit as low as possible near the
center of the windshield.
• Do not mount the unit behind wipers,
ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These
obstructions have metal surfaces which can
affect radar and laser signals and reduce
critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass
does not affect reception).
• Some windshields have an Instaclear™or
Electriclear™type coating, which affect radar
signals. Consult your dealer or the owner’s
manual supplied with your vehicle to determine
if your windshield has this coating.
• Avoid placing the unit in direct contact with the
windshield.
• To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your
unit when not in use.

City/City 1/City 2 Mode
OPERATION
Whistler’s Three Stage City Mode is designed to
reduce the annoyance of automatic door opener s, intrusion alarms and other devices which share frequencies with police radar. Generally, X band is
used for these devices.
• Press City button to cancel Highway Mode
and engage City Mode.
• Press City button again to enter City 1 Mode
• Press City button again to enter City 2 Mode
• Pressing City button a fourth time cancels City 2
Mode and returns the unit to Highway 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, only the X band sensitivity is lowered. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected.
Caution: Some towns/small cities may still be

• Display Shows:
• Press Dark button to exit.
Dual LED Alert Periscope
Whistler’s new Dual LED Alert Periscope provides
an added attention getting visual alert. The two
extra LED’s flash on and off when the unit alarms
to provide a unique visual alert. This alert can be
programmed, through the Option Select Mode to:
1. flash for all alarms, 2. remain on, or 3. turn LEDs
off completely.
VG-2 Mode
OPERATION
See Option Select Mode to turn this feature
on/off. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2
is sounded and the display flashes “VG-2”. After
3 seconds the audio is canceled and the display
no longer flashes. 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. (See
page 15 for more information)
Vehicle Battery Saver Mode
The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatically
shuts off your detector after 3 hours. The timer
is reset if the detector is turned off, unplugged
or any button is pressed before the timer 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 timer by pressing any button. If the unit has
automatically turned itself off, press any button
to turn the unit back on.

POP™ MODE ALERTS
POP™Mode Alerts
Because POP™Mode radar utilizes the same
K or Ka band frequencies, POP™Mode Alerts will be
displayed as regular radar alerts.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and
signal strength is displayed. The audio alert is
continuous and has a geiger counter-like
pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or
stronger the radar source.
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected the audio alert is
continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.
• The Displays Shows:
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 the display shows:
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 Audio/Visual Alerts
VG-2 ALERTS
Note: You must turn this feature on before it will
detect VG-2.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector “hides”
s own radiated signal and becomes undetectable
it
by the VG-2.
Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2
signal. 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. Du ring a VG-2
Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot be
received (Reference page 21 for VG-2 information).
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the
same time, the alert priority is:
1. Laser
2. VG-2
3. Speed Radar
4. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly a VG-2
signal is detected, the VG-2 warning will
override the X band alert.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care And Maintenance
During the summer months, avoid prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight by removing your unit
from the dash when your vehicle is parked for an
extended period of time. Do not spray water,
cleaners, or polishes directly onto the unit. The
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
(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.
FCC INFORMATION

FCC ID : HSXWH21
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device many not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
receive d, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Important: FCC requirements state that
changes or modifications not expressly approved
by Whistler could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
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 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 only alarm if an
officer is transmitting on any one of the above
radar bands.
17

19
SPEED MONITORING
POP™ Mode
POP™Mode is a feature on some newer radar
guns operating on K and Ka bands. When the gun
is in POP™Mode and activated, a brief burst of
energy, less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted
and the vehicle’s speed is quickly acquired. A
detector without POP™Mode detection capability
cannot respond to this brief transmission.
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 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 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 you
cannot see through. If you can’t see past a
vehicle ahead of you, chances are your detector
can’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
+/- 10nm.

SPEED MONITORING
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!
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:

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.

SPEED MONITORING
Note: Having a radar detector capable of
detecting the VG-2 may alert you to the presence of a speed trap. The newest tool
Police have to detect radar detectors is
called Spectre. Spectre can detect the
majority of undetectable (VG-2) laser/radar
detectors on the market.
It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector
owner to know and understand the laws in your area
regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors.
