Dear Owner: When an interest lasts for a year to two, thats a hobby. When it goes on non-stop for more than 25 years, I think it fairly can be called an obsession. My wife says Im obsessed with traffic radar. Shes right. Radar is out there, skulking (Stalking?) around, hiding in the bushes. And I really get a kick out of finding it, finding it first, finding it every time. This is a civilian version of what the military calls Electronic Warfare Support Measures (ESM). I find it compelling, I cant help it. Im pretty good at it too. That makes it more fun. Back in the seventies, Jim Jaeger and I invented the original Escort detector. It was the best radar finder on the market for a long time and I enjoyed running the company that made it, Cincinnati Microwave, Inc. Since starting my own company, weve made other products and earned a reputation for innovation. But nothing is quite as much fun for me as finding radar. V1s legendary reputation is built on whats inside. The magnesium case still looks identical to the original, but the electronics inside have been completely changed time and time again. I believe in continuous improvement. Thats what keeps V1s performance ahead of the pack. I dont believe in planned obsolescence. Whenever we make a performance breakthrough, we offer it to past customers as an upgrade. Even the first V1 can be updated to todays protection. See www.valentine1.com for details; youll also find a wide variety of radar and laser information not available anywhere else. I hope you enjoy your Valentine One as much as I enjoy mine. Thanks for trusting me to find radar and laser for you. Sincerely,
What Full Coverage means for you

Finds all radars

Valentine One covers all four bands. X band. most common for moving and stationary; can be used in Instant-on mode; this frequency is shared with burglar alarms and door openers. K band. moving and stationary radar; can be used in Instant-on mode. Ka band. widest of the radar bands; moving or stationary; can be used in Instant-on. Photo radar. K or Ka band; stationary only. POP Protection. covers POP mode on two bands specifically the MPH Industries models BEE III and Enforcer on both K and Ka; moving or stationary. Ku band. not used in U.S.; standard equipment on all V1s, but not activated. To activate, see: http://www.valentine1.com/lab/ MikesLabRpt3.asp. Euro Mode. narrows and intensifies radar coverage and limits it to K and the sections of Ka bands used in Europe for photo radar. Standard equipment on all V1s; but not activated.

Tells How Many

Valentine One is the only detector that tracks multiple threats (bogeys). How many are out there? Consider: Example 1: Lets say your detector is in full alert, then you see a radar unit. Naturally you assume the radar you saw is the cause of the alert. But what if theres another radar unit just up the road waiting for you?
Ordinary detectors give the same warning for one or multiple radar signals.
With the Remote Audio Adapter:
(optional at extra cost) 1. Power cord, straight

Starting Up

Valentine One has been designed for easy operation. Please follow these steps: 1. Mount Valentine One so that it has a clear view ahead and behind your car, using one of the mounts supplied. For more information on mounting, see pages 17-18. Plug lighter adapter into lighter socket and connect power cord to Main jack. For more information on power connections, see pages 19-20. Switch power on and adjust volume. For more information on control settings, see pages 14-16. Enjoy Full Coverage radar and laser protection. For more information on interpreting warnings, see pages 4-13.

Example 2: Lets say youre in an alert caused by a known X-band burglar alarm. What if a radar operator, using Instant-on, is simultaneously working the same territory? In both cases, an ordinary radar detector would set you up for a big surprise because it would lead you to believe that only one bogey was out there. Valentine One is your insurance against surprises. It always tells you how many.
Valentine One counts threats so youll never be surprised.

What you should know about radar

How Traffic Radar Works

Traffic radar uses a radar beam to measure speed. Think of the beam as a searchlight. Its invisible because its made of microwaves instead of light, but otherwise it acts very much like a light beam. It travels in straight lines. Its easily reflected. It scatters as it is passed through dust and moisture in the air. And this is essential it has to hit your car before it can determine your speed. Radar cant see around corners or through hills. It cant see you when you are behind another vehicle. When in the clear, how strongly your vehicle reflects determines how far the radar can read your speed. Generally, larger vehicles reflect more strongly than smaller vehicles. Trucks are visible on radar farther away than cars. The principle on which radar operates is absolutely reliable. Radar equipment, on the other hand, is only as good as the quality of its design and manufacture. Traffic radars tend to be unreliable. Theyre cheaply made and therefore vulnerable to many interferences that cause false readings. And, compared to the military and weather radar which have rotating antennas, traffic radars are vastly simplified. This simplification means that traffic radar cannot tell one car from another. The operator has to do that, and since the operator cant see an invisible beam any better than you can, he frequently doesnt know which vehicles speed is being read. This is a source of many undeserved tickets.
How Instant-on (Pulse) Radar Works
As a defense against detectors, many radar units can be operated in the Instant-on mode, also called the Pulse mode. This means the radar is in position, but it is not transmitting a beam. So it cannot be detected. When the target is within range, the radar operator switches on the beam and the radar calculates the speed, usually in less than a second. This calculation happens too quickly for the target (you) to respond in time. Still, you can defend against Instant-on by recognizing it when the operator zaps traffic ahead of you. Valentine Ones great sensitivity and your attention to the nuances of its warnings gives you at least a sporting chance.

The Difference Between X Band and the K Bands
X-band alerts (Beep) are often found at long distances. K and Ka bands are usually detected at closer range, and alerts on those frequencies are much more likely to be radar. So Valentine One makes a different sound (Brap) to warn you of these more urgent threats (bogeys).

What are False Alarms

Since all radar detectors are simply radios tuned to the microwave frequencies used by traffic radar, they automatically sound their alert whenever they encounter signals on those frequencies. The problem is, other devices that are not radar are also operating on radar frequencies. A detecting radio must respond to them too. Every response indicates a threat, a bogey. How can you tell the difference between radar and what people commonly refer to as false alarms? Your judgment is the only way. But here are the basics: X band: A catch-all band, still used regularly in some areas by traffic radar, but heavily populated by sensors for supermarket automatic doors and other nuisance signals. In shopping areas, expect door sensors. But know the territory. Unless youre sure that X band is not used locally for radar, stay alert until youve identified the bogey. K band: Maybe radar, maybe not. Supermarket door sensors operating on K have recently begun corrupting this formerly reliable warning of radar. Another nonradar source cheapie radar detectors that pollute by transmitting on K.

How Radar Detectors Work

A radar detector works like a radio tuned to microwave frequencies. Valentine One is an extremely sensitive radio, and its tuned exactly to the frequency bands used by all traffic radar in the U.S. X band, K band, Ka Band, which includes photo. Moreover, it has two antennas, one aimed forward and one rearward, so that it can locate the radar. Because Valentine One is so sensitive, it can easily find radar from the scattering of the beam, and it can find these scatters a long time before the actual beam hits your car. The only exception is Instant-on radar.
Identifying Alarms From Junk Detectors
Here are a few clues for spotting offending detectors. You may get a brief K warning just as you meet an oncoming car. Or a lingering K, nearly constant strength, as you move with traffic. Big hint: a direction change on the Radar Locator as you pass another car. Look for a detector in the windshield. But stay alert until you know for sure. See page 16 for what Dee-Dah-Do tone means. Ka band: Watch out! Most of the new-tech radars operate on Ka. Expect some contamination from cheapie detectors, just as with K (clues above also apply to Ka). Do not dismiss Ka alerts until youve positively identified the source.

Your Warning: The first thing youll notice will be
Beeeee, or Braaaaa because the radar encounter will start instantly at high strength. If the radar is ahead, then the Ahead arrow will glow. Probably the radar is aimed in your direction, but maybe not. It might be aimed the same way youre going, zapping oncoming cars as they approach and ready to shoot you in the back after youve passed. In either case, watch out. If the Behind arrow glows simultaneously with the Beeeee or Braaaaa, probably you are being shot in the back.
Situation 9: Youre driving down a highway and
Instant-on radar a long way ahead is zapping traffic as it passes.

Laser Warning

How To Mount
Follow mounting instructions on pages 17-18. Laser Warning requires more care in mounting. Remember that laser is infrared light, and the light path to Valentine One could be blocked by certain materials that are transparent to radar. Consider: 1. Important: position Valentine One so that its level and pointed straight ahead. 2. Avoid locations blocked by wipers or windshield stickers. Make sure glass is clean. 3. Some windshields have a dark tint band across the top. Avoid mounting behind that band.
Counter will show 1. Youll hear a very slow Beep or Brap that will last just 3-5 seconds. Then the alerts ends. What happens next depends on traffic and terrain. If theres light or medium traffic between you and the radar, youll hear the same pattern again, maybe repeated several times, as the radar zaps each car ahead in turn. If you hear this pattern, watch out. If theres no traffic within sight ahead, watch out, because you could be next. With ordinary detectors, short, weak alerts are usually shrugged off as false alarms, leading the motorist to drive right into an Instant-on trap. The Radar Locator is critical to your defense in this circumstance. If it points off to the side, the bogey is not a threat. But if it points ahead, watch out.
How To Recognize A Laser Encounter
On laser contact, your warning will be: 1. European two-tone siren warning sound. 2. When Ahead-arrow lights, laser is ahead. When the Behind-arrow lights, laser is behind. 3. Bogey counter displays three horizontal bars. 4. Strength-indicator bar graph shows full strength. 5. LED indicates laser. NOTE: The same visual warnings will be seen on the optional Concealed Display.

How Photo Radar Works

Most photo radars operate on Ka band, but there are exceptions. Unlike ordinary radar traps ambushes hidden within terrain contours photo radar operates out in the open, usually in a van parked along the road; but occasionally as a permanent installation that looks much like a red light camera. Instead of hiding, photo radar uses a low-power beam which it angles across the road to reduce the range at which it can be detected. So warning range is short, too short if you have a weak detector. Valentine One readily detects photo radar. But it will be reported for what it is, a weak signal. All bogeys, even weak ones, should be identified before they are dismissed.

Modular Jack Speaker

A New Way to Set Loudness
Valentine One has two controls for loudness so you can take complete control of sound. The Control Knob sets what I call initial volume. This is the loudness you will normally hear on initial radar contact. Once youre aware of the threat, you can drop to a quieter, reminder sound which I call muted volume. Just press the Control Knob. This muted volume is adjusted by the lever behind the knob. How loud do you like your reminder? The choice is yours.

Control Knob

On Volume Off Mute Modes Brightness Turn clockwise Turn to adjust Turn counter-clockwise past detent Press during radar alert Press and hold to change Automatically matched to ambient lighting; no manual adjustment (Unit powers up in the last mode selected)

Rear Antenna

Push To Mute
During any alert, press the Control Knob. Audio volume will drop to the muted level.

Radar Locator

What Long-Gradient audio does for you
Valentine Ones audio warning indicates radar strength. It gives a very slow Beep for X band (Brap for K band, Brap-brap for Ka band) when it encounters weak radar, then quickens as radar strength increases, and becomes a continuous tone about the time youre in range. This long gradient, from slow Beep to continuous tone, makes it easy to estimate radar proximity, which is very important during brief Instant-on encounters. In the case of multiple bogeys, the audio warning will always monitor the greatest threat.

Control Lever

Note: In the case of multiple bogeys from different directions, an arrow will glow for each direction. The strongest threat will be indicated by a blinking arrow. The audio warning will correspond to the blinking arrow

What the Bogey Lock tone means
Valentine One is designed to track multiple threats. During an alert, when Valentine One locks on to an additional bogey, it notifies you with the Bogey Lock tone (DeeDeet). This sound will never be heard at any other time, not even during the power-on ritual. Whenever you hear this sound, it means that another bogey has been detected and is being tracked. The bogey counter shows the number of bogeys being tracked at that time.
What the Bogey Counter does for you
Every alert, until youve positively identified the source, is an unknown, a bogey. But an alert may consist of more than one bogey. There could be many. Lets say you drive by a burglar alarm on the way to work every day that causes an alert. Then one day you pick up an additional bogey. This new bogey could be radar hiding under cover of the burglar alarm, picking off the unwary. You must assume each alert is radar until youve identified the bogey. For more information see pages 5-6.

Band Identification

Note: In the case of multiple bogeys on different bands, a blinking LED will indicate the strongest threat.
What the Dee-Dah-Doo Tone means
Valentine One is designed to recognize and ignore phony radar signals from poorly-designed detectors. Occasionally a false alarm will be started before verification is certain. If it then determines the source is a junk detector, it will notify you it is retracting that alert with a Dee-DahDoo sound. A flashing J ( ) indicating junk will appear in the Bogey Counter.

For Laser Warning

See page 11.

Where to mount

Valentine One works best when mounted high in the windshield, and toward the center between the windshield pillars. Use your choice of windshield or visor mounts. When properly mounted, the front antenna will look forward through the glass. It must have an unobstructed view. Dont put it behind the parked windshield wipers, or directly behind an in-glass antenna. Dont position it so that it "looks" into the rearview mirror. The rear antenna will look rearward, between passengers and out the rear glass. It, too, must have an unobstructed view. Detector performance is enhanced by a high mounting position. Two reasons. For radar, a longer sight line to the horizon always helps. For laser, moving away from the hood and its sun reflections helps a lot. IMPORTANT NOTE: Windshield heaters such as Fords InstaClear block radar from passing through the glass (look for a brown tint). So do solar barrier windshields of the type used on GM Venture-Montana-Silhouette-Trans Sport minivans and on some imported luxury sedans (look for a reddish or copper tint). Same for mirrored sun screens. Detector performance will be greatly reduced when V1 is mounted behind such metallic films.

POP Mode

How the POP Mode Works
The POP Mode is a feature of certain radars made by MPH Industries. Its only purpose is to defeat radar detectors. It works by transmitting radar in a short burst only 67 milliseconds (thats 0.067 seconds).

Troubleshooting

Problem
Seems dead, no display or audio.

No power.

Solution
1. Check power-cord connections. Check fuse in lighter adapter (Is it in place? Is it blown?) Pages 19, 22 in owners manual. 2. Check contact of Adapter in lighter socket. 3. Make sure power is available at lighter socket. Does the lighter work? If not, check fuse in car lighter circuit. 4. Try another power cord. 5. Make sure the power cord to V1 is plugged into the Main jack of the Lighter Adapter. 6. Check pins of V1s power jack (bent?).
What you should know about POP Mode
It is inaccurate. In order to outfox detectors, MPH Industries has pushed the technology outside the accepted principles of engineering. And the company admits as much when its Operation and Service Manual advises users as follows: A note of caution: Information derived during the POP burst is non-evidentialCitations should not be issued based solely on information derived from the POP burst. Nonetheless, POP Mode is a reality and it will be used at the discretion of individual enforcers.
Valentine One has full-time POP Protection
There is nothing you must do to activate POP coverage. Its built in, and it operates full time. It covers POP on two bands specifically the MPH Industries models Bee III and Enforcer on both K and Ka. Concealed Display or Remote Audio Adapter seems dead. Sounds the power-on audio when you go over a bump. No communication with V1. Bad power connection. 1. Try different connecting cords; each must have four conductors.
Valentine One is designed to recognize and ignore phony POP signals transmitted by poorly-designed detectors. Occasionally a false alarm will be started before verification is certain. If it then determines the source is a junk detector, it will notify you it is retracting that alert with a Dee-Dah-Doo sound. A flashing J ( ) indicating junk will flash briefly in the Bogey Counter.

False laser alerts, either continuous or random intervals. See page 13 in the manual or http:// www.valentine1.com/ Moreinfo/pdf/finding_ laser_pg13.pdf.
Laser cruise control; in-dash navigation screen; rainsensing wipers.
1. Switch to normal cruise control instead of laser. 2. Relocate V1 so laser sensor is not pointed toward navigation screen, or rain sensor for the wipers.

A Few Things to Remember
1. Valentine One is defined as a radio by the FCC. It receives only. Its a passive device that in no way interferes with the communications or business of others. The Federal Communication Act of 1934 guarantees the right to receive radio transmissions of all types on all frequencies. Traffic radar is not privileged communication: in fact, its not communication of any sort because no information is conveyed to another party. It is surveillance by radio waves, and that is not protected by any laws.
3. Some states and municipalities have laws prohibiting the use, or the possession, or both, of radar detectors. Please check local regulations before using your Valentine One. 4. Leaving your Valentine One in plain sight in an unattended car is asking for a break-in.
We appreciate your confidence in Valentine Research. Please drive safely.
