[. . . ] A detector without POPTM Mode detection capability cannot respond to this brief transmission. This detector has the power to report this new gun where other detectors cannot!With POPTM Mode detection, these units can react fast enough to detect this new technology. Packed with power you still have a full featured radar detector: · INTENSE BLUE TEXT DISPLAY (PRO-73 Only) provides distinct visual confirmation of signals detected, signal strength, and indicates engaged modes of operation. [. . . ] The alert for any new signal within 20 seconds will resume at level (1). · Press Quiet/Menu (before a signal is detected) to engage Auto Quiet. · 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. OPERATION City/City 1/City 2 Mode (Cont. ) In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signal 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. If Auto Quiet is engaged in City 1 or City 2 modes and the unit receives a strong radar signal, the unit performs the Auto Quiet feature. City Modes do not change the audio alert for laser or VG-2. Setting Saver Setting Saver saves your personalized settings so that when the detector is turned off and then on again, you do not have to re-enter them. Feature Engaged Confirmation Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms feature "on", two beeps confirm feature "off". Quiet Mode Quiet cancels 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. Highway Mode Highway mode provides full audio warnings any time radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser signals are detected, and is recommended for open road driving. For more information on City and Highway mode, please visit our FAQ page on our website: www. whistlergroup. com Audio Level Adjustment The audio levels can be adjusted high to low or low to high. Unit ON or OFF. VG-2 Audio/Visual 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 faster the beep the closer or stronger the radar source. Alert Priority Laser Audio/Visual Alerts When a laser signal is detected the audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds. · Model Pro-73 displays: The more "|||" the closer the laser source. 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 VG-2 is detected, the VG-2 warning will override the X band alert. · Model Pro-58 displays: 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. 14 15 16 TROUBLESHOOTING Your Whistler detector is expertly engineered and designed to exacting quality standards to provide you with reliable, trouble-free operation.
