POP MODE ALERTS
TROUBLESHOOTING
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
™
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 manual, but is not
operating optimally, please refer to the
troubleshooting guide below.
During the summer months, avoid prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight by removing your unit
from the dash when your vehicle is parked for 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.
POP Mode Alerts
Because POP™ Mode radar utilizes the same
K or Ka band frequencies, POP™ Mode Alerts will be
displayed as regular radar alerts.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When 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.
PROBLEM: No display or audio.
• 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.
ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
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.).
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected, the audio alert is
continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.
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.
• The Displays Shows:
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.
®
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.
PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud
enough.
• Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.
• Check audio level setting (see page 8 ).
When a pulse type transmission is detected, your
Whistler detector sounds an urgent 3-second
audio warning and the display shows:

SPEED MONITORING
SPEED MONITORING
SPEED MONITORING
POP™ Mode
Laser Tips
Radar Detector Detectors: VG-2,
POP™ Mode is a feature on some newer 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 transmission.
If 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.
Spectre
The 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 (see page 20), 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.
Laser Facts
It’s well documented that many radar guns
cannot reliably provide the speed of a targeted
vehicle that is traveling in a group of vehicles. In
contrast, a laser gun can target a specific vehicle
out of a line of traffic and determine its speed. The
advantage of laser over radar in terms of
target identification is the result of the laser gun’s
narrow beam. A radar gun’s transmission can
cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance
of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser gun’s
transmission which covers about 3 feet at the
same distance. For best protection, keep these
points in mind:
Radar Facts
A 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).
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.
• Because the vehicle’s license plate or
headlights are the laser gun’s primary targets,
mounting the Whistler detector on the
dashboard can improve laser detection at short
range.
• Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you
cannot see through. If you can’t see past a
vehicle ahead of you, chances are your detector
can’t either.
• The receiving range of your laser detector will
not be the same as a radar detector. Laser guns
are most often used at short range.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Note: A radar detector will only alarm if an
officer is transmitting on any one of the above
radar bands.
