The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a driver’s alertness.
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. Before unit alerts, press PWR to exit this feature. If a button
is not pressed within 3-5 seconds, an alarm sounds and the display
shows:
• Press the DARK button to exit during the Get Rest message.
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.
NEVER OPERATE A
VEHICLE IF YOU ARE DROWSY.
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.
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected the word “Laser” and bar
graph is displayed, the audio alert is continuous for a
minimum of 3 seconds.
Example:
Pulse Protection®
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more of a threat 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.
