Detection

Signals Detected

The tables on the following pages show you the types of 

Signals

your 

detector will detect, as well as the visual alerts it provides for each of them.

Audio Alerts

A distinctly different 

Alert 

tone is used for each type of signal detected (including

separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K, Ka and Ku band 

radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as you approach the signal 

source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful information about 

the signal detected. See responding to alerts on page 29.

Visual Display

An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the 

DigiView Data

Display

. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, you will also see from one to five vertical

bars, indicating the strength of the signal detected.
