This new gun is a normal K or Ka band radar gun detectable by most radar detectors made in the past 30 years, unless the gun is placed in POPTM Mode. POPTM Mode is a feature on some newer radar guns operating on K and Ka bands. When the gun is in POPTM 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. [. . . ] The timer is reset if the detector is turned off, unplugged or any button is pressed before the 3 hours have expired. The detector will alert you with an audible and visual warning before it shuts off. If the unit has automatically turned itself off, press the Power button to turn the unit back on.
