DETECTION
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.
RADAR ALERTS
More Detail
In More Detail mode the radar band, signal strength and frequency of the detected radar signal
will be displayed.
Less Detail
If you are a new user of radar detectors, you may want to use the Less Detail mode. In this
mode the display will only show one, two, or three bars which indicate how likely the alert is to
be a police radar or laser gun. This threat level indication takes into account the laser or radar
band, strength, and frequency of the detected signal.
