Filter Mode

There are times when a radar detector in another
vehicle, can unintentionally emit a frequency
which can cause your detector to falsely alarm.
The Whistler Filter Mode options provide
additional signal processing to minimize the
occurrences of these false alarms.  Filter mode
provides normal processing.  Filter 1 and Filter 2
modes provide additional signal analysis before
alarming.

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, try Filter
1, then Filter 2 modes.  Filter Mode analysis
occurs in Highway Mode and all City Modes.  See
Option Selection Mode to change the filter
settings.

Ka Max Mode

Ka Max Mode provides enhanced Ka sensitivity -
increased protection. This mode can be selected
with or without RSID. See Option Select Mode
for changing Ka options.
