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 units exterior.  
POP Mode Alerts  
Because POPMode radar utilizes the same  
K or Ka band frequencies, POPMode 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  
POP™ Mode  
Laser Tips  
Radar Detector Detectors: VG-2,  
POPMode is a feature on some newer radar  
guns operating on K and Ka bands. When the gun  
is in POPMode and activated, a brief burst of  
energy, less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted  
and the vehicles speed is quickly acquired. A  
detector without POPMode 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).  
Laser Facts  
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.  
Its 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 guns  
narrow beam. A radar guns transmission can  
cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance  
of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser guns  
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 guns  
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 vehicles 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 vehicles license plate or  
headlights are the laser guns 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.  
Consumer Warranty  
This Whistler Laser-Radar detector is warranted to  
the original purchaser for a period of three years from  
the date of original purchase against all defects in  
materials and workmanship. This limited warranty is  
void if the unit is abused, modified, installed

this product other than those set forth in this  
warranty. All express or implied warranties for this product  
are limited to the above time. Whistler is not liable  
for damages arising from the use, misuse, or operation  
of this product.  
Other Speed Detection Systems  
Several techniques other than radar or laser are  
used to measure vehicle speeds. When these  
methods are being used, no detector can provide  
a warning. These techniques include:  
• Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and  
matches your driving speed.  
• Vascar/Aircraft - The police measure the time it  
takes your vehicle to travel a known distance.  
Whistler Laser-Radar detectors receive all current  
laser guns which operate at a laser wavelength of 905  
+/- 10nm.
