SAFETY ALERT AND SAFETY
WARNING SYSTEM
These systems are low-powered transmitters used by
some emergency services and road crews to alert driv-
ers to hazardous conditions. The Safety Alert system
can indicate stationary, moving, or railroad hazards.
Radar detectors that are Safety Alert compatible, such
as this one, indicate the presence of a Safety Alert sig-
nal.
The Safety Warning System is like Safety Alert, but it
operates at a higher power level and can alert you to
many different emergency or hazardous conditions in
the area. Your detector’s three safety indications show
three major categories of Safety Warning System mes-
sages.
While neither system is currently in wide use, they have
the potential to dramatically decrease the potential for
traffic accidents by increasing drivers’ awareness of
local road hazards. Having this radar/laser detector will
ensure that you are ready to use these systems as they
come into use.
