Instant-On Detection

Your detector is designed to detect Instant-On speed monitoring signals,
which can suddenly appear at full strength.

NOTE

You should take appropriate action immediately whenever

an instant-On alert is given.

Pop Detection

Your detector is designed to detect single pulse mode radars. These radars
are designed to have a low probability of detection. You should note that
these radar guns have a much shorter range while in this mode.
