Auto Quiet Mode
Pressing QUIET before a radar signal is detected
provides an alternate alert pattern, consisting of four
beeps (indicating X, K, Ka or Safety Radar) followed
by clicking. The clicking will continue for as long as
the detected signal is present or any new signal is
detected within 20 seconds, becoming more rapid
as the strength of the signal increases.
• Press Quiet (before a signal is detected) to
engage Auto Quiet.
• Once the Auto Quiet mode is engaged, you
may cancel the audio alarm by pressing Quiet.
• Press Quiet (when the unit is not alarming) to
cancel Auto Quiet mode.
Quiet Mode
Quiet cancels audio during an alert and any new
alert within 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, approxi-
mately 2 beeps are provided on any new alert and
unit then remains quiet.
• Press Quiet to cancel the audio.
• Press Quiet a second time during an alert to
restore the standard audio alert pattern; or turn the
unit off, then on.
OPERATION
City/City 1/City 2 Mode
Whistler’s Three Stage City Mode is designed to
reduce the annoyance of automatic door open-
ers, intrusion alarms and other devices which share fre-
quencies with police radar. Generally, X band is
used for these devices.
• Press City button to cancel Highway Mode
and engage City Mode.
• Press City button again to enter City 1 Mode
• Press City button again to enter City 2 Mode
• Pressing City button a fourth time cancels City 2
Mode and returns the unit to Highway Mode.
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals
give an initial alarm of two beeps, and then
remains quiet unless the signal becomes very
strong. When the signal strength increases, two
additional beeps are provided. City 1 and City 2
Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but
in City 1 Mode, only the X band sensitivity is low-
ered. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected.
Caution: Some towns/small cities may still be
using X band radar. City Modes do not change
the audio alert for laser or VG-2.
Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio warnings any
time radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser sig-
nals are detected, and is recommended for open
road driving.
