OPERATION

Alert Priority

When two or more signals are received at the
same time, the alert priority is:

1

. Laser  

2.

Speed Radar  

3

.  Safety Radar

Example: 

If X band is alerting, then suddenly a

laser signal is detected, the laser warning will 
override the X band alert.

Compass Calibration Set-up 

The unit must be calibrated in order for the
compass to provide accurate headings.  To
calibrate the unit, perform the following
procedure:
1

1.. Mount the unit level in the center of the 
vehicle’s windshield. Make sure there are no
magnetic sources near the detector 

(i.e., speaker)

.

2

2. Select a large clear area 

(parking lot or field)

without any power lines.

3

3. Press the Menu button until display shows 
C

CA

AL

L M

MO

OD

DE

E. Then press the Dark and Quiet buttons

simultaneously. The display shows (scrolling):

4

4. If calibration does not automatically finish, press
the Dark and Quiet buttons simultaneously to
complete calibration. The unit will beep twice and
display shows, for example:

Note:

In Combo Mode, an “H

H” or “C

C” will be

shown to indicate mode of operation. 

Important:

If unit mounting is relocated in the

vehicle, (i.e., visor to windshield mounting or
dash mounting), or if the unit is moved to
another vehicle, you must recalibrate the
compass.

Intellicord

® 

Ready 

Using Whistler’s optional Intellicord

®

Power Cable

allows some models to control the detector’s
features such as Power On/Off, City Modes,
Dim/Dark, and Quiet/Auto Quiet with a simple
press of the button on the Power Cable. Two
features can be controlled: one by a short press of
the button, and the second by a long press of the
button. Option Mode allows the user to program
the feature assignments.

OPERATION

Whistler has two new exciting features that will assist
the driving enthusiast to further identify threats from
laser and Ka band radar guns.

Ka RSID (Ka R

adar

S

ignal

ID

entifier

)

Identify the difference between the likelihood of a Ka
threat vs. the likelihood of a Ka false from another
source (possible radar detector).  The Ka RSID
feature will educate you to the common Ka speed
radar guns by displaying the nominal police radar
frequencies of 33.8GHz / 34.0GHz / 34.3GHz /
34.7GHz / 35.5GHz.  The Ka alerts that do not fall into
the common Ka speed radar windows will be reported
only as Ka. 

Note:

This product is not a frequency counter.  The

unit will categorize the received Ka signal and select
the appropriate information. Treat every Ka alert with
caution.

LSID (L

aser

S

ignal

ID

entifier

)

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.

Note:

Common Laser PPS rates used in the USA are

100 / 125 / 130 / 200 / 238 / 380Hz. Other Laser PPS
rates used outside the USA include 600Hz.

Caution:

Do not lock out a PPS rate if it is close to

known speed laser guns.
