In response to the individual targeting nature of police radar guns, any
laser signal detected during this period will override the Alert Off function.
Radar and Laser Signal Detection
When a radar or laser signal is detected, the Detector Unit beeps and
flashes at frequencies according to detected signal strength. Slower beeps
and flashes indicate weak signal detection. Rapid beeps and flashes
indicate strong signal detection. Each radar band or laser signal has its
own distinct beep.
The LCD displays the detected radar band or laser signal and the
corresponding signal strength. There are three distinct radar bands and
one laser band as described below:
X band ( ) - The oldest and least common police radar band.
Many automatic door openers and other nuisance signals use this band.
An X band reading has a high probability of being a false alert. This band
is ignored in City No X, City No X & K, Highway No X, and Highway No X &
K Modes. However, a few remaining law enforcement agencies still use
this band.
K band ( ) - A common police radar band. There is a slight
chance of this signal being a false alert. This band is ignored in City No X
& K and Highway No X & K Modes.
Ka band ( ) - The newest and a common police radar band.
There is a very high chance of this signal originating from a police radar
gun.
Laser ( ) - Growing in popularity among police traffic
enforcement. There is a very high chance of this signal originating from a
police laser gun.
