Whistler XTR-130 - Manual (Page 5)

OPERATION
Engaging/Disengaging VG-2
See VG-2 detection mode to turn this feature
on (see pg. 15).
Vehicle Battery Saver Mode
The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatical-
ly shuts off your detector after 6 hours if you
forget to turn it off. The timer is reset if the
detector is turned off, unplugged or any but-
ton is pressed before the time has expired.
The detector will alert you with an audible
and visual warning before it shuts off. During
this warning you can momentarily reset the
unit by pressing any button. This will reset
the timer. If the unit has automatically turned
itself off, press any button to turn the unit
back on.
Laser Audio / Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected, the dis-
play indicates a laser by scrolling the alert
Icon’s from right to left. The audio alert is
continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.
Laser Tips
If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun
can often determine your speed within a
few seconds after you receive an alert. In
this situation there is generally no time to
safely adjust your speed. However, if you
are traveling near or behind the targeted
vehicle and receive an alert, response
time should be sufficient. Any laser alert,
regardless of duration, requires immedi-
ate action.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Pulse Protection ®
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult
to detect than conventional radar because
it remains “off” until activated to measure
the speed of a targeted vehicle. When a
pulse type transmission is detected, your
Whistler detector sounds an urgent 3-sec-
ond audio warning and flashes the alert
strength indicators at their fastest rate.
After the 3-second pulse alert, the stan-
dard alert pattern continues for as long as
the signal is present. It is important to
respond promptly to a pulse alert, since
warning time may be minimal.
