For Radar and Laser signals: SOLO uses a geiger-
counter-like sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar or
laser signal being encountered. When you encounter radar or laser, a
distinct Audible Alert will sound and occur faster as the signal gets
stronger. When the signal is very strong, the Audible Alerts will blend
into a solid tone. This allows you to judge the distance from the signal
source without taking your eyes from the road. Each band has a
distinct tone for easy identification. X-band = beep tone, K-band =
raspy brap tone, Ka-band = double-bleep tone, Laser = chirp tone.
Please see page 12 for details on the typical behavior of various radar
and laser signals.
For Safety signals: Each type of safety signal has its own distinctive
brap tone. Emergency Vehicle = rapid braps, Railroad Crossing =
repetitive brap, Road Hazard = repetitive double brap. THE PRESENCE
OF ONE OF THESE SIGNALS INDICATES A DANGEROUS DRIVING
CONDITION. Be particularly alert and aware of what’s going on
around you.
