Facts About the Safety Alert® Traffic
Warning System
FCC-approved Safety Alert® Transmitters emit microwave radar signals
to indicate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the
frequency of these signals, as set on the transmitter, the outgoing
signal can indicate whether the transmitter is on a speeding
emergency vehicle or train, or at a stationary road hazard location.
These microwave signals are located in the K-band and as a result, any
radar detector which detects K-band radar will detect these Safety
signals as standard K-band radar alerts. However, unlike a standard
radar detector, your Cobra® XR-1010 is designed to differentiate
between a standard K-band alert and a Safety Alert® warning. Safety
technology is relatively new so the number of transmitters in operation
is still growing. You may not receive Safety Alert® on a daily basis and
should not be surprised to encounter some emergency vehicles, road
hazards or trains not yet equipped with these transmitters, therefore
failing to provide a signal. As Safety Transmitters become more
prevalent (the number of operating transmitters is growing every day),
these Safety Alert®s will become more common. The Safety Alert®
Transmitter is in use in all 50 states in limited quantities.
Thank you for purchasing Cobra®’s XR-1010, the worlds first 10-band™
Radar/Laser Detector with Digital Signal Processing. It features a high
speed RISC digital processor, similar to those used in high end personal
computers. The result–incredibly high sensitivity and virtually no false
alerts. In addition, the the UltraBright™ Data Display provides easy
recognition of band detected by use of band identification letters.
