How Safety Radar Works
Safety Warning System, or SWS, uses a modified
K-band radar signal. The SWS safety radar system has
64 possible messages (60 currently allocated). The
SWS messages your Solo S2 can display are listed on
the facing page.
From the factory, your Solo S2 is programmed with
SWS decoding OFF. If SWS is used in your area, your
Solo S2 will display the safety messages associated
with the signal. If you wish to detect this system, use
the EZ-Programming feature to turn Solo S2’s SWS
decoding ON.
NOTE: some of the safety messages have been
condensed, so that each message can be displayed on
one or two screens on Solo S2’s display.
Technical Details
Since Safety radar technology is relatively new, and
the number of transmitters in operation is not yet
widespread, you will not receive Safety signals on a
daily basis. Do not be surprised if you encounter
emergency vehicles, road hazards and railroad
crossings that are unequipped with these transmitters.
As Safety transmitters become more prevalent (the
number of operating transmitters is growing every
day), these Safety radar signals will become more
common.

radar, visit their web site at www.swslc.com.
