Technical Details
How Safety Radar Works
Safety Warning System, or SWS, uses a modified
K-band radar signal. The SWS safety radar system
has 64 possible messages ( 60 currently allocated).
The SWS messages your Solo S3 can display are
listed on the facing page.
From the factory, your Solo S3 is programmed
with SWS decoding OFF. If SWS is used in your
area, your Solo S3 will display the safety messages
associated with the signal. If you wish to detect this
system, use the EZ-Programming feature to turn
Solo S3's SWS decoding ON.
NOTE: some of the safety messages have been
condensed, so that each message can be displayed
on one or two screens on Solo S3's display.
Since Safety radar technology is relatively new,
and the number of transmitters in operation is not
yet widespread, you will not receive Safety signals on
a daily basis. Do not be surprised if you encounter
emergency vehicles, road hazards and railroad
crossings that are unequipped with these
transmitters. As Safety transmitters become more
prevalent (the number of operating transmitters is
growing every day), these Safety radar signals will
become more common.
