Signals Detected
The tables on the following pages show
you the types of signals your detector
will detect, as well as the visual alerts it
provides for each one.
Audio Alerts
A distinctly different alert tone is used for each
type of signal detected (including separate
tones for each laser signal). For X, K, and Ka
band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster
as you approach the signal source. The repeat
rate of the tones gives you useful information
about the signal detected. (See Responding to
Alerts, page 16.)
Visual Display
An indication of the type of signal
detected will appear in the UltraBright™
Data Display. During X, K and Ka alerts,
a number will also appear, indicating
the strength of the signal detected.
(1 = weakest, 5 = strongest)
During laser alerts the letter ”L“ will appear,
instead of the signal strength indication.
During VG-2 Alert
®
the letter ”V“ will appear.
During Safety Alert
®
and Strobe Alert®
the letter “S” will appear.
