POCKET RADAR – Personal Speed Radar
TM
Congratulations! You have just purchased the world’s smallest, fully-capable, Personal Speed Radar . The Pocket
Radar is a very versatile and convenient tool for making many types of speed measurements. Pocket Radar is a
simple, point-and-shoot speed radar for all types of activities. Pocket Radar provides instantaneous speed
measurements to +/- 1 Mile Per Hour (MPH) accuracy. Revolutionary new technology advances have now made it
possible to fit a high performance speed radar into a shirt pocket. This allows you to take it with you anywhere you
go. These instructions are designed to help you achieve the best performance possible by explaining how to make
accurate radar speed measurements. Please read all of these instructions before using your new Pocket Radar.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES:
Pocket Radar uses two AAA Alkaline batteries (included in the box). To install, remove the battery cover from the
back of the unit by sliding it down. Insert the batteries in the direction indicated by the polarity marks inside the
battery compartment and replace the cover by sliding it back on until it snaps in place.
MAKING SPEED MEASUREMENTS:
•
Point and Shoot – Hold the unit up vertically like a camera phone with the Radar Lens on the back of the unit
pointing in-line with the moving target and the display facing you. Do not block the Radar Lens. Aim at the
moving target and press the RED button. The unit will turn itself on as soon as this button is pressed.
•
Timing – It is very important to know when to press the button. For objects that are in motion for a very short
time, you will need to press the RED button – once, just as the motion starts. For example – on a baseball,
press-and-release the RED button quickly – once, just as the ball is released from the pitcher’s hand. It may
require a little practice to get used to the timing. If you continually hold the button down, the speed will update
approximately once every second, but it will not be possible to precisely time when you take a specific reading.
•
Measurements – A target can be anything that is moving faster than 7 MPH and up to 375 MPH. When you
press the RED button, a small beam icon will appear at the top of the LCD display. This indicates the radar
beam is active. The radar will continue to be active and searching until a speed is displayed, or a "- - -", appears
on the display. This indicates that no measurable target was found within the speed range. This entire sequence
occurs in much less than a second.
•
Memory – Press the black RECALL button to display the memory. Each time you press this button a previous
speed reading will be displayed, up to the last 10 readings. The end of the memory is indicated by a " - " on the
display. If you continue to press the button beyond the end, it will start over from the top of the list.
•
Power Off – There is no need to turn the unit off. The Pocket Radar contains an automatic battery saving
shut-off feature. After 30 seconds with no button pushes, the unit will automatically power off. There is a
battery life indicator icon on the lower left hand corner of the display. Remove the batteries for long-term
storage.
RADAR MEASUREMENT CHALLENGES:
Due to the nature of how Doppler speed radar works, all speed radars will measure the relative speed of a target as it
approaches or moves away from the speed radar. When the moving target is directly in-line with the speed radar the
measured speed will be most accurate. (Note: Always be safe. Never put yourself in a position where you could be
struck by a moving object.) As the angle between the target and the speed radar increases, either right or left of the
center line, the accuracy will decrease. This is referred to as the COSINE error from the mathematical function that
calculates the exact speed versus angle. The measured speed will always read lower than the actual speed as you
move off the centerline. For small angles, this error will be very small. This is why you see police officers along the
side of the road using radar and not sitting down a side street perpendicular to you.
Example: On a typical baseball field right behind the backstop, if you stay within 12 feet to either side of the
centerline between the catcher and pitcher, any pitches that are less than 90 MPH will read within 1 MPH of the true
speed. As you move further off the center line the readings will become less accurate. Here is a chart and table of the
angle versus the percentage error. This error will occur with any type of speed radar.

ENVIRONMENT:
Speed radars are very sensitive instruments for measuring moving objects of any kind. There may be times when the
speed reading displayed may not make sense or when there is no apparent moving object present. False readings of
this kind are sometimes referred to as “ghost readings”. These are the result of reflections from either a movement of
some kind, or an electrical source.
Movement – Any objects that rotate, move or vibrate can create a reading on the display. Large amounts of
vibration, such as very loud noises, can result in false readings. Things like motors, fans, nearby traffic or the
motion of a person’s arm can be detected by the speed radar. In some cases, if you are measuring the speed of a
car at a very close distance, you may pick up the engine, the radiator fan, the heater or A/C fan inside the car,
moving hubcaps, etc. In this case, try to make the measurement from a further distance away.
Electrical – Cell phones, wireless devices, radio and TV transmitters, computers, fluorescent lights, televisions,
walkie-talkies, etc can also possibly create a false reading.
In the event of getting any of these kinds of false readings, try to identify the possible source and then reposition the
speed radar so that you are further away and have the beam pointed away from any problem areas.
