To engage (when the unit is not alarming) :• Press and hold the City button for approximately 2 seconds. Release the button during or immediately after the alert is given. DISPLAY SHOWS: Within 30-60 seconds, two beeps are sounded; to show alertness, the driver must press either the City, Menu, or Quiet buttons within 3-5 seconds. If a button is pressed within 3-5 seconds, the cycle is repeated. If a button is not pressed within 3-5 seconds, an alarm sounds.DISPLAY SHOWS:• Press the PWR/DIM button to exit the Stay Alert feature.WARNING!!! Stay Alert is NOT intended as a substitute for adequate rest. You should NOT operate a vehicle if you are drowsy. During extended periods of vehicle operation, you should take frequent breaks. Improper reliance on the Stay Alert feature may result in vehicle damage, personal injury or death.Alert PriorityWhen two or more signals are received at the same time, the alert priority is:1. Laser 2. Speed Radar 3. Safety Warning System™EXAMPLE: If X band is alerting, then suddenly a laser signal is detected, the laser warning will override the X band alert.Safety Warning System™In communities where transmitters are located, the Safety Warning System™ provides over 60 text messages. When SWS™ is detected the audio alert is geiger counter-like.Safety Warning System Text MessageExample: Poor - Road - Surface.NOTE: Not all areas have Safety Warning System™ transmitters.FUNCTION ButtonWith the press of the FUNCTION button you can quickly toggle between two of the the following programmable detector features (TFSR, FDSR, TONE or FILTER) See Option Select mode for choosing the functions to work with this button.VG-2 ModeSee Option Select Mode to turn this feature on/off. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is sounded and the display flashes “VG-2”. After 3 seconds the audio is canceled and the display no longer flashes. This cycle is repeated if the VG-2 signal is detected again . During the period a VG-2 signal is detected, a radar signal cannot be detected. However, because the VG-2 alert has confirmed that a patrol car is nearby, you are already aware of the potential for speed monitoring and can adjust your speed accordingly. Laser detection is not affected while a VG-2 signal is detected. Reset FeaturesAll user features can be reset to factory settings. • Unplug the Power Cord from the unit. • Press and hold the QUIET/VOL button. • Plug the Power Cord into the unit. • Wait for 2 beeps. • Release the QUIET/VOL button.Unit is now reset to the following features and settings.Default factory settings are:1.

FDSR OFFLSID (Laser Signal IDentifier)Identify the Laser gun’s pulse rate or PPS (Pulses Per Second) that is transmitted by the speed laser gun. LSID may also be used to identify other forms of laser sources such as LACC (Laser Assisted Cruise Control) systems found in some high end vehicles.If the Laser PPS information displayed is due to another source such as local airports or LACC, LSID allows you to Lock Out this rate from giving you the continuous audio alert during this and any new encounter of the same rate. To Lock Out a PPS, press the Quiet button during the Laser alert. This will place an * on the screen beside the PPS rate and Lock Out this signature ID. Any new encounter with the same Laser Signature ID will provide the display information and two quick beeps.POP™ Mode is a feature on some radar guns operating on K and Ka bands. When the gun is in POP™ Mode and activated, a brief burst of energy, less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and the vehicle’s speed is quickly acquired. A detector without POP™ Mode detection capability cannot respond to this brief transmitted. Because POP™ Mode radar utilizes the same K or Ka band frequencies, POP™ Mode Alerts will be displayed as regular radar alerts. Speed Radar Audio/Visual AlertsWhen X, K or Ka is detected, the band ID and signal strength are displayed. The audio alert is continuous and has a geiger counter-like pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or stronger the radar source. Laser Audio/Visual AlertsWhen a laser signal is detected the audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds. • The Displays Shows:Pulse Protection®Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to detect than conventional radar because it remains ‘off’ until activated to measure the speed of a targeted vehicle. When a pulse type transmission is detected, your Whistler detector sounds an urgent 3-second audio warning and the display shows: After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert pattern continues for as long as the signal is present.It is important to respond promptly to a pulse alert, since warning time may be minimal.Your Whistler detector is expertly engineered and designed to exacting quality standards to provide you with reliable, trouble-free operation. If your unit has been correctly installed following the guidelines in this guide, but is not operating optimally, please refer to the troubleshooting guide below.PROBLEM: Unit does not turn on.• Check fuse in plug; replace if necessary with a 2 amp, 3AG type.• Check fuse for lighter socket; replace if necessary.• Make sure lighter socket is clean.PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits bumps.• Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean.• Check connections at both ends of the power cord. Substitute another cord to determine if the cord is defective. Return defective cord to the factory.PROBLEM: Low or no audio.• Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.• Check audio level setting.If difficulties occur which cannot be solved by information in this Troubleshooting Guide, please call Whistler Customer Service at1-800-531-0004 or visit our FAQ page atwww.whistlergroup.com, before returning your unit for service.an extended period of time. Do not spray water, cleaners, or polishes directly onto the unit. The spray may penetrate through the openings and damage the unit. Also, do not use any abrasive cleaners on the unit’s exterior.CARE AND MAINTENANCEDuring the summer months, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight by removing your unit from the dash when your vehicle is parked forARE DETECTORS LEGAL?FCC INFORMATIONFCC ID: HSXWH22This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.Important: FCC requirements state that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Whistler could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.In Most States YES.Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state (except Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have local regulations restricting the use of radar receivers in any vehicle) when used in automobiles or light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a regulation, effective January, 1994 which prohibits radar and laser detector use in vehicles over 10,000 lbs. Prior to the FHWA regulation, laws existed in New York restricting the use of radar detectors in trucks over 18,000 lbs. and in Illinois in trucks over 26,000 lbs.WARRANTY INFORMATIONLaser TipsIf you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often determine your speed within a few seconds after you receive an alert. In this situation, there is generally no time to safely adjust your speed. However, if you are traveling near or behind the targeted vehicle and receive an alert, response time should be sufficient. Any laser alert, regardless of duration, requires immediate action.Radar FactsA radar gun operates by transmitting radio waves at certain frequencies which reflect off objects and are picked up by the radar gun’s receiving section. When a radar beam reflects off a moving target, a measurable frequency shift occurs. The radar unit converts this shift into miles per hour to determine your vehicle’s speed. Currently, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) permits operation of traffic radar guns at X Band (10.500 - 10.550 GHz), K Band (24.050 - 24.250 GHz), and Ka Band (33.400 - 36.000 GHz).NOTE: A radar detector will only alarm if an officer is transmitting on any one of the above radar bands.Other Speed Detection SystemsSeveral techniques other than radar or laser are used to measure vehicle speeds. When these methods are being used, no detector can provide a warning. These techniques include:• Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and matches your driving speed.• Vascar/Aircraft - The police measure the time it takes your vehicle to travel a known distance.Radar Detector Detectors: VG-2, SpectreThe Interceptor VG-2 or simply VG-2, is one type of microwave receiver used by Police to detect signals radiated by the local oscillator of a radar detector. Because its purpose is to identify persons driving with radar detectors, these devices are known as a “radar detector detector” (RDD).An RDD is the primary tool used by the police to identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If caught in a state or country where detectors are illegal, drivers risk losing their radar detector and receiving a fine. In addition, instant-on radar is almost always used in combination with an RDD, leaving unsuspecting motorists vulnerable to receive two tickets; one potential for speeding, and the other for possession of a detector. Note: The newest tool Police have to detect radar detectors is called Spectre. Spectre can detect the majority of undetectable (VG-2) laser/radar detectors on the market.It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector user to know and understand the laws in your area regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors.

The Filter Modes allow you to select the level needed for your area to minimize the occurrences of these false alerts. Filter Mode is the factory default setting and should provide adequate filtering for most conditions. If you experience excessive alerts due to radar detectors in other vehicles, increase the Filter level. See Option Select Mode chart to change the filter settings. Field Disturbance Sensor Rejection (FDSR)Traffic Flow Sensor Rejection (TFSR)Recently many new products that operate on police radar frequencies have been causing nuisance alerts to radar detectors. These radar based sensors are installed alongside the Highway and more recently on vehicles used as lane change assist / blind spot detectors / collision avoidance systems. TFSR when turned ON is designed to eliminate alerts from specific Traffic Flow sensors. FDSR when turned ON is designed to identify all radar based collision avoidance systems that operate all radar based collision avoidance systems that operate within the same band as police radar and provide a brief less intrusive alert to keep you informed and aware.A signal strength indicator will help determine your proximity to the source without the continued annoyance of audio. We suggest you turn FDSR ON if you are experiencing excessive random false alerts when behind select vehicles.Option Select Mode Press the Menu button to enter Option Select Mode. Each press of the Menu button changes to the next selectable feature. The DIM (D) button and the Quiet (Q) button turns the feature ON/OFF.
