Whistler PROTECTION PRO-78SE - Manual (Page 6)

OPERATION
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the
same time, the alert priority is:
1. Laser 2. Speed Radar 3. Safety Radar
Example: If X band is alerting, then suddenly a
laser signal is detected, the laser warning will
override the X band alert.
SWS ™
Safety Warning System ™
In communities where transmitters are located,
the Safety Warning System
™ displays over 60
text messages. When Safety Radar is detected
the audio alert is geiger counter-like.
Safety Warning System Text Message
Example: Poor - Road - Surface.
Note: Not all areas have Safety Warning System
™
transmitters.
Intellicord ® Ready
Using Whistler’s optional Intellicord ® Power Cable
allows some models to control the detector’s
features such as Power On/Off, City Modes,
Dim/Dark, and Quiet/Auto Quiet with a simple
press of the button on the Power Cable. Two
features can be controlled: one by a short press of
the button, and the second by a long press of the
button. Option Mode allows the user to program
the feature assignments.

OPERATION
Whistler has two new exciting features that will assist
the driving enthusiast to further identify threats from
laser and Ka band radar guns.
Ka RSID (Ka Radar Signal IDentifier)
Identify the difference between the likelihood of a Ka
threat vs. the likelihood of a Ka false from another
source (possible radar detector). The Ka RSID
feature will educate you to the common Ka speed
radar guns by displaying the nominal police radar
frequencies of 33.8GHz / 34.0GHz / 34.3GHz /
34.7GHz / 35.5GHz. The Ka alerts that do not fall into
the common Ka speed radar windows will be reported
only as Ka.
Note: This product is not a frequency counter. The
unit will categorize the received Ka signal and select
the appropriate information. Treat every Ka alert with
caution.
LSID (Laser Signal IDentifier)
Identify the Laser gun’s pulse rate or PPS (Pulses Per
Second) that is transmitted by the speed laser gun.
LSID may also be used to identify other forms of laser
sources such as LACC (Laser Assisted Cruise Control)
systems found in some high end vehicles.
If the Laser PPS information displayed is due to
another source such as local airports or LACC, LSID
allows you to Lock Out this rate from giving you the
continuous audio alert during this and any new
encounter of the same rate. To Lock Out a PPS, press
the Quiet button during the Laser alert. This will
place an * on the screen beside the PPS rate and
Lock Out this signature ID. Any new encounter with
the same Laser Signature ID will provide the display
information and two quick beeps.
Note: Common Laser PPS rates used in the USA are
100 / 125 / 130 / 200 / 238 / 380Hz. Other Laser PPS
rates used outside the USA include 600Hz.
Caution: Do not lock out a PPS rate if it is close to
known speed laser guns.
