For more information on City and Highway mode, please visit our FAQ page on our website: www.whistlergroup.com

Compass Calibration

The unit will need to be calibrated in order for the compass to provide accurate headings. To calibrate the unit, perform the following procedure: 1. Mount the unit level in the center of the vehicles windshield. Make sure there are no magnetic sources near the detector (i.e., speaker). 2. Select a large, clear area (parking lot or field) without any power lines. 3. Press the Menu button until display shows CAL MODE. Then press the Dark and Quiet buttons simultaneously. The display shows (scrolling): 4. If calibration does not automatically finish, press the Dark and Quiet buttons simultaneously to complete calibration. The unit will beep twice and display:
Important: If the unit mounting is relocated in the vehicle, (i.e., visor to windshield mounting or dash mounting), or if the unit is moved to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the compass.

Backlight Setting

Teach/Tutorial Mode
Provides simulated alerts for each type of signal.
Press City and Quiet/VOL simultaneously and release. Display Shows: Press Power/BL to exit.
The backlighting can be programmed to be illuminated all the time, only when alarming. The options are selectable by pressing and holding the Power/Dim button on the unit. The options are:
OFF-OFF = Backlight is off during normal operation and off when the unit alarms OFF-DIM = Backlight is off during normal operation and dim when the unit alarms. OFF-BRT = Backlight is off during normal operation and bright when the unit alarms. DIM-OFF = Backlight is dim during normal operation and off when the unit alarms. DIM-DIM = Backlight is dim during normal operation and dim when the unit alarms. DIM-BRT = Backlight is dim during normal operation and bright when the unit alarms. BRT-BRT = Backlight is bright during normal operation and bright when the unit alarms.

City/City 1/City 2 Mode

Whistlers Three Stage City Mode is designed to reduce the annoyance of automatic door openers, 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 Press 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 until 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 is only reported at high levels. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected. Caution: Some towns/small cities may still be using X band radar. City Modes do not change the audio alert for laser or VG-2. 8

VG-2 Mode

Backlight will turn on, if selected, while the unit alarms and remain on for 3 seconds after the unit stops alarming. When any button is pressed, the backlight will illuminate at the dim setting and remain on for 3 seconds afterwards. The backlight will also illuminate while in option mode.
Low Profile Alert Periscopes
Whistlers new Low Profile Alert Periscopes provide an added attention getting visual alert. The two extra LEDs 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.
See Option Select Mode to turn this feature on/off. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert 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 detected again. 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 17 for more information) 10

Auto Shut Off Mode

Auto Shut Off Mode automatically shuts off the detector. The timer is reset:
1. Each time the detector is turned off 2. The optional power cord is unplugged 3. Any button is pressed before the timer has expired.

Option Select Mode

Entering Option Select Mode allows you to customize options such as Tone Select, Abbreviated Power Up Sequence, and VG-2 Mode. Press the Menu button to enter Option Select Mode. When selecting options, the Power/BL or Quiet/VOL buttons must be pressed within 20 seconds or Option Mode will automatically be exited. To enter:

Stay Alert Feature

The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a drivers alertness. To engage (when unit is not alarming) : Press and hold the City button for approximately 2 seconds. Release button during or immediately after the alert is given. Display shows: Within 30-60 seconds two beeps are sounded; to show alertness, the driver must press either the City, Volume, 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 alarm sounds and the display shows: Press Power to exit. 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.

The detector will alert you with an audible and visual warning before it shuts off. This auto off function can be programmed for the following: Off, 1, 2, or 3 hours. During this warning you can reset the timer by pressing any button. If the unit has automatically turned itself off, press the Power button to turn the unit back on. You can manually engage the Auto Shut Off Mode by pressing and holding the City button until one beep is heard. Refer to Option Select Mode for instructions for changing the Auto Shut Off Mode settings.

Filter Mode

There are times when a radar detector can emit the same frequency as police radar and can cause your detector to falsely alarm. Sometimes a detector can alert when picking up another radar detector in a nearby vehicle. The Whistler Filter Mode options provide for false alert suppression from other radar detectors. Two options exist:
Filter: Allows for normal filtering. Filter 1: Provides and extra step to analyze the radar that may come from other detectors.
Filter is the factory default and should provide adequate filtering for most conditions. If you experience excessive alerts due to radar detectors in other vehicles, try the Filter 1 option. Filter Mode functions in both Highway and City Modes. See Option Select Mode to change Filter settings. 11 12
In communities where transmitters are located, the Safety Warning System displays over 60 text messages. When Safety Radar is detected, the audio alert sounds like a geiger counter. Safety Warning System Text Example: Poor - Road - Surface. Note: Not all areas have Safety Warning System transmitters.

Safety Warning System

POP MODE ALERTS

VG-2 ALERTS

VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts
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 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. During a VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot be received (Reference page 21 for VG-2 information).

RESET FEATURES

Reset Features
All user features can be reset to factory settings. Unplug the Power Cord from the unit. Remove the Batteries. Press and hold the Power and Quiet. Plug the Power Cord into the unit. Wait for 2 beeps. Release the Power and Quiet buttons. Unit is now reset to the following features and settings. Default factory settings are: 1. Audio to level (4). 2. Highway/Combo Mode. 3. Auto Quiet Mode OFF. 4. VG-2 Detection Mode OFF. 5. Safety Radar OFF. 6. Vehicle Battery Saver to 1 hour. 7. Full Power Up sequence. 8. Default TONE 3. 9. POP ON. 10. Backlighting Dim/Bright

Because POP Mode radar utilizes the same K or Ka band frequencies, POP Mode Alerts will be displayed as regular radar alerts.

POP Mode 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 pattern like a geiger counter. 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 Display Shows:

Alert Priority

Pulse Protection
Pulse (or instant-on) radar are 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, the 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.
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 units exterior. As with all battery operated devices remove the batteries when the unit will not be used for an extended period of time. Damage caused by leaky or improperly charged batteries are not covered under warranty.

FCC INFORMATION

FCC ID : HSXWH15
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Important: FCC (Federal Communications Commission) requirements state that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Whistler could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

SPEED MONITORING

A radar gun operates by transmitting radio waves at certain frequencies which reflect off objects and are picked up by the radar guns 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 vehicles 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 not alarm if an officer is not transmitting on any one of the above radar bands. 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 vehicles speed is quickly acquired. A detector without POP Mode detection capability cannot respond to this brief transmission. 19

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.). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a regulation, effective January, 1994 which prohibits radar and laser detector use in vehicles over 10,000 pounds nationwide. 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.

Radar Facts

POP Mode
Total Band Protection Laser Facts
Detects all laser and radar bands, VG-2 and safety radar. Its 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 guns narrow beam. A radar guns transmission can cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser guns transmission which covers about 3 feet at the same distance. For best protection, keep these points in mind: Because the vehicles license plate or headlights are the laser guns 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 cant see past a vehicle ahead of you, chances are your detector wont 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 +/- 10mm.

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: Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and matches your driving speed. Vascar/Aircraft - The time it takes a vehicle to travel a known distance is measured.

Note: Having a radar detector capable of detecting the VG-2 may alert you to the pres ence of a speed trap. The newest tool Police have to detect radar detectors is called Spectre. As of this printing. Spectre can detect most 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.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

This Whistler Laser-Radar detector is warranted to the original purchaser for a period of one year from the date of original purchase against all defects in materials and workmanship. This limited warranty is void if the unit is abused, modified, installed improperly, or if the housing and/or serial numbers have been removed. There are no express warranties covering this product other than those set forth in this warranty. All express or implied warranties for this product are limited to the above time. Whistler is not liable for damages arising from the use, misuse, or operation of this product. Note: Damaged caused by incorrect battery placement or battery leakage is not covered under this warranty.

Consumer Warranty

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 potentially for speeding, the other for possession of a detector. 21
