It receives X-, K-, and Ka-band radar signals, and detects both the instant-on and laser systems many police departments use to measure vehicle speed. Your detector can also give you advance warning of potential road hazards by detecting signals from transmitters that broad- cast Safety Warning System alerts. Note: Before reading this Owner’s Manual read the supplied booklet Questions and Answers About Vehicle Speed Detection to familiarize yourself with the terms. Your detector’s features include: Electronic Compass — provides accurate heading information with alphanumeric display and LED panel. 360° Detection — detects laser signals from all around your ve- hicle. Ultralyte, X-, K-, Ka-Band, and Laser Signal Detection — warns you when it detects signals from traffic radar or laser de- vices. Different tones and visual indicators let you know the type of signal received. Safety Warning System Detection — alerts you to the pres- ence of potential road hazards and emergency vehicles sig- naled by a Safety Warning System transmission. 22-1684.fm Page 3 Thursday, March 2, 2000 4:37 PM 4 Features VG-2 Protection — makes your detector invisible to the VG-2 radar-detector when it senses VG-2 operation. City/Highway Modes — let you minimize alerts when you are in areas that have false radar sources. City/Highway Selector and City/Highway Indicator — dis- plays the mode currently selected. FAST    (False Alert Suppression Technology) — helps pre- vent false alarms caused by non-traffic radar sources. Tutorial Mode — helps you learn to recognize the detector’s tones and displays. Memory Retention —holds settings in memory when you turn off power. Instant On or Pulse Radar — alerts you to sudden high level laser signals. SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM The Safety Warning System (SWS) is approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate on the 24.05– 24.25 GHz band for highway safety alerting and traffic signal control purposes. The Safety Warning System employs low-powered transmitters used by some emergency services and road crews to alert driv- ers to hazardous road conditions. The SWS can indicate many different emergency or hazardous conditions in the area (61 different messages are currently defined, with 3 additional for future use). 22-1684.fm Page 4 Thursday, March 2, 2000 4:37 PM 5 Features The system has the potential to dramatically decrease the oc- currence of traffic accidents by increasing drivers’ awareness of local road hazards. Having this safety alert compatible radar/la- ser detector will ensure that you can benefit from this system wherever it is in use. Your radar/laser detector includes the following items: • coiled power cord • windshield bracket with suction cups • hook and loop tape • stand for hook and loop mounting • spare fuse • Booklet, Questions and Answers About Vehicle Speed Detection Important: Some areas have laws regulating the use of radar detectors. Check with your local law enforcement agency about the laws in your area. 22-1684.fm Page 5 Thursday, March 2, 2000 4:37 PM 6 A Quick Look àA Quick Look 360° Laser Eye — receives incoming laser signals directed at your vehicle from all directions DC 12V Jack — the power cord connection DIM — controls the brightness of the display MUTE — silences the alert tone for about 20 seconds after the current signal is lost CITY (City/Highway) — switches between the city and highway modes LED Compass — indicates your headi…

RADIATION INTERFERENCE: Testing was done in accordance with ANSI C63.4-2001. Section 15.35(b)specifies the use of an average detector in this band. In addition, the peak level of an emissions shall not exceed the average limit by more than 20 dB using a minimum Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) of 1 MHz and minimum Video Bandwidth (VBW) OF 1 MHz. The following procedure is designed to determine if there are any spurious emissions from the local oscillator within the band of interest along with any additional spurious emissions caused by other circuitry within the device. 1) Determine the fre…
