INSTALLATION OPERATION OPERATION
Power Connection
• Plug the small end of the power cord into the unit’s
power jack.
• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
Fuse Replacement
The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable
2 amp 3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To
replace the fuse, carefully unscrew the tip of the plug.
IMPORTANT: Unscrew slowly. The tip contains a
spring which may fly out when disassembling.
Insert the new fuse with the spring and screw on the tip.
With use, screw cap on plug may loosen.
Retighten occasionally.
Unscrew the tip of the lighter socket plug carefully
when replacing the 2 amp fuse.
Power On and Self Test
Each time your Whistler detector is turned on, an
automatic self-test sequence confirms that the speak-
er and visual displays are functional. To increase vol-
ume, continue turning the volume knob.
Audio Level Adjustment (SRT 35R Only)
The audio levels can be adjusted high to low, or
low to high, in seven steps:
• Press Volume up to increase audio level.
• Press Volume down to decrease audio level.

Audio Level Adjustment (Continued)
As audio level is adjusted, beeps are provided
and the display indicates volume level. The more
numbers illuminated, the higher the volume.
Feature Engaged Confirmation
Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms feature
“on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.
Self Test Mute (SRT 35R Only)
Simply press the Quiet button during the self-test
sequence to cancel the self-test audio. This will not
affect radar/laser alerts. To restore the self-test audio,
simply press the Quiet button during the next self-test.
Setting Saver (SRT 35R Only)
Setting Saver saves your personalized settings
so that when the detector is turned off and then
on again, you do not have to re-enter them.
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.
Note: The SRT 35R will go to volume level 1
instead of clicking.
If Auto Quiet is engaged, pressing QUIET while the
unit is alarming will cancel the beeps or clicking.
Pressing QUIET a second time when the unit is not
alarming will cancel Auto Quiet mode and restore
the continuous audio alert pattern.
