Whistler XTR-500 - Manual (Page 6)

POP ™ Mode Alerts
Because POP ™ Mode radar utilizes the same
K or Ka band frequencies, POP ™ Mode Alerts will be
displayed as regular radar alerts.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and
signal strength is displayed. The audio alert is
continuous and has a geiger counter-like
pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or
stronger the radar source.
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected the audio alert is
continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.
• The Displays Shows:
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-second
audio warning and the display shows:
After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard 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.
POP ™ MODE ALERTS
VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts
Note: You must turn this feature on before it will
detect VG-2.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector “hides”
its own radiated signal and becomes undetectable
by the VG-2.
Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2
signal. If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit
continues to hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no
signal is detected, two beeps are provided,
indicating an “all clear” condition. During a VG-2
Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot be
received (Reference page 21 for VG-2 information).
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the
same time, the alert priority is:
1. Laser
2. VG-2
3. Speed Radar
4. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly a VG-2
signal is detected, the VG-2 warning will
override the X band alert.
