There are two types of radar speed traps: fi xed and mobile. The SpotList Alerting described on the previous page can warn you against
the fi xed radar locations. Stinger’s Radar Alerting feature*, however, can expertly alert you to both types of radar traps: fi xed and mobile.
Your Stinger Card can utilize the HD Antenna to recognize police radars, even the most modern ones, at often double the distance that
radar detectors manage to achieve.
Note: Some countries have taken away your freedom to use the radar alerting functionality. If you travel to a country where Radar
Alerting is permitted, you can download the appropriate Card Software. To assist you with this, please use the Stinger Desktop application
for your Mac or PC (see page 16). On returning to the country where Radar Alerting is not permitted, you can erase this function again by
simultaneously holding both the S (on the back of the card) and the + key for longer than 3 seconds. This will turn your Card into a BASIC
E.U. VERSION by permanently erasing any of the extra functionalities (see page 4).
Radar Alert*
In case of a Radar Alert either the K (24 GHz) or the
Ka (34 GHz) LED will fl ash. Ka frequency radars are
often used for mobile speed traps on highways. K
band radar is also transmitted by automatic doors of
petrol stations, as well as traffi c monitoring systems
on the highways.
Signal strenght
The closer you approach a radar source, the
more Level LEDs will light up.
