[. . . ] OWNER'S MANUAL FU ZION LASER/RADAR DETECTOR THE WHISTLER GROUP, INC. Bentonville, AR 72712 TEL: 479. 273. 6012 FX: 479. 273. 2927 P/N 260020 © The Whistler Group, Inc. 2006 www. whistlergroup. com www. whistlergroup. com INTRODUCTION If you have questions concerning the operation of this Whistler product please call: Dear Whistler Owner, Whistler has developed a complete and comprehensive laser-radar solution for "TUNERS". This unit allows laser-radar protection that complements other automotive gauges installed in the vehicle. [. . . ] · Press Quiet (before a signal is detected) to engage Auto Quiet. Display shows: · Once the Auto Quiet mode is engaged, you may cancel the audio alarm by pressing Quiet. · Press Quiet (when the unit is not alarming) to cancel Auto Quiet mode. Note: When Auto Quiet engages, it cancels the audio to the Voice Module. Quiet Mode Quiet Mode cancels the optional audio during an alert and any new alert within 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, approximately 2 beeps are provided on any new alert and unit then remains quiet. · Press Quiet a second time during an alert to restore the standard audio alert pattern; or turn the unit off, then on. 14 15 RADAR ALERT Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts When X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and signal strength is displayed. The faster the beep, or the flash of the LED, the closer or stronger the radar source. Example: SAFETY RADAR-LASER ALERTS Safety Warning SystemTM Text Example: Poor Road Surface: 1 = weak signal, 9 = strong signal Pulse Protection® When a pulse type signal (instant-on strong signal) is detected an urgent 3 second audio warning is sounded and the display shows: Note: Not all areas have SWSTM transmitters. In communities where transmitters are located, the Safety Warning SystemTM displays over 60 text messages. When Safety Radar is detected, the audio alert is geiger counter-like. Laser Audio/Visual Alerts When a laser signal is detected, the word "Laser" and signal strength is displayed, the audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds. Example: The more "|||" the closer the laser source. 16 17 VG-2 ALERTS VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts Note: You must turn the POP feature OFF in option select mode before it will detect VG-2. RESET FEATURES/CARE & MAINTENANCE Reset Features All user features can be reset to factory settings. Care And Maintenance Do not spray water, cleaners or polishes directly onto the unit. Also, do not use any abrasive cleaners on the unit's exterior. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector "hides" its own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2. Text message confirms detection of 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. Having a laser/radar detector does not make you invisible or immune to laser/radar guns. As in the case with detecting instant-on radar, there are some circumstances that the VG-2 may detect your laser-radar detector before the laser-radar can detect the VG-2 signal in time to hide. (Reference page 24 for Radar Detector `Detector' information. ) Alert Priority When two or more signals are received at the same time, the alert priority is: 1. 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. 18 19 COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN Communication Breakdown If a problem arises between the control panel and the laser/radar antenna, the unit will give a unique audio tone, and the B/L will go to full brightness.
