INSTALLATION
OPERATION
OPERATION
Power On and Self-Test
Replacing the Remote Battery
The remote control is powered by a 3 volt coin
type cell, model CR 2032. However, all batteries
eventually need replacing. When the time comes,
follow these steps:
Each time your Whistler detector is turned on,
an automatic self-test sequence confirms that
the speaker and visual displays are functional.
• Press Power. Display shows (XTR-520 only) in order:
1. WHISTLER 2. X-band 3. K-band 4. Ka-band
5. LASER 6. SR ON 7. VG2 OFF 8. B SVR ON
9. POP ON 10. HWY
Windshield Mounting (Cont.)
If the detector is removed, this may cause blis-
tering of the dash in some vehicles.
• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it
locks into place.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by
bending the windshield bracket. Press the
bracket release button and remove the
detector before bending.
• Remove the Phillips head screw located at the
bottom back side of the remote.
• Separate the two halves of the plastic case
• Gently lift out the PC board as the battery is
located opposite the buttons.
• Display indicators will light in same order for
XTR-220.
• The battery should slide out from its holder. Make
note of the correct polarity. Positive (+) is facing
away from the PC board.
Remote Control Operation
The remote packaged with this unit transmits via
Infrared or IR, the same as most TV remote con-
trols. The remote’s 6 button can change the
unit’s features and controls. The transmit range is
approximately 4 feet, which is sufficient for the
majority of vehicles.
• Insert the new battery, being mindful of the
correct polarity.
• Reassemble the reverse of disassembly
Power Connection
• Plug the small end of the power cord into the
unit’s power jack.
Setting Saver
Setting Saver saves your personalized settings so
that when the detector is turned off and then on
again, you do not have to re-enter them.
• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette
lighter.
NOTE: Cord fits tightly into detector. When
installing the cord, expect some resistance.
The remote is already programmed into the
radar detector so no additional programming is
necessary. If a replacement remote is necessary
(from being lost or damaged), the new remote is
“XTR ready”
The feature buttons on the remote duplicate
those found on the laser-radar detector itself
and in case of the XTR-220 more than what the
unit can do on its own.
Feature Engaged Confirmation
Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms
feature “on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.
Fuse Replacement
The lighter socket plug is equipped with a
replaceable 2 amp 3AG fuse located behind the
silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully unscrew
the tip of the plug.
Audio Level Adjustment
The audio levels can be adjusted high to low or
low to high two ways:
1. Press and hold the PWR/VOL ( VOL on XTR-
520) button and the volume level will increase
(Level 7) then proceed to lower the volume
(Level 0). Continuing to hold this button will
repeat the sequence. As audio level is adjusted,
beeps are provided and the display indicates
volume level.
IMPORTANT: Unscrew slowly. The tip contains
a spring which may fly out when disassem-
bling.
Insert the new fuse with the spring and screw on
the tip. With use, screw cap on plug may
loosen. Retighten occasionally.
The remote utilizes a common coin cell battery
CR 2032 which is available at most retail outlets.
This battery should provide similar battery life as
a vehicle’s keyless entry remotes and home
remote controls
Unscrew the tip of the lighter socket
plug carefully when replacing the 2
amp fuse.
2. Press either VOL UP or VOL DOWN on the
remote control.

Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio warnings any
time radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser sig-
nals are detected, and is recommended for open
road driving.
For more information on City and Highway mode,
please visit our FAQ page on our website:
www.whistlergroup.com
City/City 1/City 2 Mode
Whistler’s Three Stage City Mode is designed to
reduce the annoyance of automatic door open-
ers, intrusion alarms and other devices which share fre-
quencies with police radar. Generally X band is
used for these devices.
NOTE: In certain cases the voice message does
not replicate the text message.
Auto Quiet Mode
Dim/Dark Mode
• Press City to cancel Highway mode and engage City.
• Press City a second time engages City 1.
• Press City a third time engages City 2.
• Pressing City a fourth time cancels City Modes and
returns the unit to Highway Mode.
Auto Quiet reduces the selected audio level to
level (1) approximately 5 seconds after a radar
or safety radar signal is detected. The alert for
any new signal within 20 seconds will resume at
level (1). Auto Quiet does not affect VG-2 or
laser alerts.
Dim/Dark Mode reduces the illumination of the
display.
•
Press and hold Power for 2 seconds to reduce
illumination to a Dim setting.
Pressing and holding the power button for 2
seconds a second time engages Dark Mode.
The display illumination is further reduced.
Dim or dark can be engaged during an alert. In
Dark Mode, the display goes dark for as long as
a signal is being detected and for 20 seconds
after, then the display returns to the dimmer set-
ting.
Pressing and holding the power button a
third time restores full illumination to the
display.
Press the DIM button on the remote to select
display illumination.
•
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signal give
an initial alarm of two beeps, and then remains
quiet unless the signal becomes very strong.
When the signal strength increases, two additional
beeps are provided.
• Press Quiet/Menu (before a signal is detected)
to engage Auto Quiet.
• Once the Auto Quiet mode is engaged, you
may cancel the audio alarm by pressing Quiet.
• Press Quiet (when the unit is not alarming) to
cancel Auto Quiet mode.
City 1 and CIty 2 Modes operate the same as
Highway Mode, but in City 1 Mode, only the X
band sensitivity is lowered. In City 2 Mode, X-
band is not detected.
•
Quiet Mode
Quiet cancels audio during an alert and any new
alert within 20 seconds. After 20 seconds,
approximately 2 beeps are provided on any
new alert and unit then remains quiet.
CAUTION: Some towns/small cities may still be
using X band radar. If Auto Quiet is engaged in
City 1 or City 2 modes and the unit receives a
strong radar signal, the unit performs the Auto
Quiet feature. City Modes do not change the
audio alert for laser or VG-2.

POP MODE ALERTS
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
VG-2 ALERTS
POP™ Mode Alerts
®
Alert Priority
Pulse Protection
Because POP™ Mode travels on regular radar band-
width, there is no particular alert for POP™ Mode
transmissions. POP™ Mode alerts will be displayed as
a regular radar alert.
When two or more signals are received at the
same time, the alert priority is:
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.
When a pulse type transmission is detected, your
Whistler detector sounds an urgent 3-second
audio warning and:
• Model XTR-520 displays:
• Model XTR-220 displays:
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.

Safety Warning System
In communities where transmitters are located,
the Safety Warning System™ displays over 60 text
messages. When Safety Radar is detected the
audio alert is geiger counter-like.
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly VG-2 is
detected, the VG-2 warning will override the X
band alert.

When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector ‘hides’ its
own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by
the VG-2.
Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2
signal. If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit
continues to hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no
signal is detected, two beeps are provided, indicat-
ing an ‘all clear’ condition. During VG-2 Alert X, K,

TROUBLESHOOTING
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FCC INFORMATION
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 operat-
ing optimally, please refer to the troubleshoot-
ing guide below.
Care And Maintenance
FCC ID HSXWH17
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
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 unit’s exterior.
(1) This device many not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation.
PROBLEM: No display or audio.
•
Check fuse in Whistler plug; replace if necessary with
a 2 amp 3AG type.
IMPORTANT
•
•
Check fuse for lighter socket; replace if necessary.
Make sure lighter socket is clean.
FCC requirements state that changes or modifica-
tions not expressly approved by Whistler could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES!
Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state
(with the exception of 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.).
PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits
bumps.
SPEED MONITORING
•
•
Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean.
Check connections at both ends of power cord.
Substitute another cord to determine if cord is
defective. Return defective cord to the factory.
Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2)
The Interceptor VG-2, or simply VG-2, is a
microwave receiver used by police to detect sig-
nals radiated by the local oscillator of a radar
detector. Because its purpose is to identify per-
sons driving with radar detectors, the VG-2 is
known as a ‘radar detector detector’.
PROBLEM: Unit alarms when using vehicle
electrical accessories (brakes, power mirrors,
power windows, turn signals, horn, etc.).
Concerning trucks over 10,000 lbs., the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a regula-
tion, effective January, 1994 which prohibits radar
and laser detector use in these types of vehicles
nationally. Prior to the FHWA regulation, laws
existed in the state of New York restricting the
use of radar detectors in trucks over 18,000 lbs.
and in Illinois in trucks over 26,000 lbs.
•
Vehicle’s electrical system, including battery and
alternator, may have electrical noise. Install a filter
capacitor (470mfd. 25 volt or larger capacitance value)
on the back of the lighter socket.
The VG-2 is the primary tool used by the police
to identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If
caught, in a state where detectors are illegal,
(see page 18), drivers risk losing their radar
detector and receiving a fine. In addition,
instant-on radar is almost always used in combina-
tion with a VG-2, leaving unsuspecting motorists vul-
nerable to receiving two tickets - one potentially
for speeding, the other for possession of a
detector.
PROBLEM: Remote no longer controls the
detector
•
•
Make sure the remote is pointed at the front display.
Possible weak or dead remote battery, replace battery.
PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud enough.
•
•
Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.
Check audio level setting (see page 7).
Having a radar detector capable of detecting
the VG-2 may alert you to the presence of a speed
trap. For more information on speed monitoring
technologies, please visit our FAQ page on our
website:

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the individual
radar detector owner to know and understand the
laws in your area regarding the legality of the use of
radar detectors.
Other Speed Detection Systems
Laser Facts
Several techniques other than radar or laser are
used to measure vehicle speeds. When these
methods are being used, no detector can pro-
vide a warning. These techniques include:
• Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and
matches your driving speed.
It’s well documented that many radar guns can-
not 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 tar-
get identification is the result of the laser gun’s
narrow beam. A radar transmission can cover
more than a four-lane highway at a distance of
1,000 feet, compared with a laser 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 then picked up by the radar
gun’s receiving section. When a radar beam
reflects off a moving target, a measurable fre-
quency shift occurs. The radar unit converts this shift
into miles per hour to determine your vehicle’s
speed. Currently, the FCC (Federal
• Vascar/Aircraft - The time it takes a vehicle to
travel a known distance is measured.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Consumer Warranty
This Whistler Laser-Radar detector is warranted
to the original purchaser for a period of one year
from the date of original purchase against all
defects in materials and workmanship. This limit-
ed warranty is void if the unit is abused, modified,
installed improperly, if the housing has been
removed, or if the serial number is missing. There are
no express warranties covering 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.
• Because your vehicle’s license plate or
headlights are the laser gun’s primary targets,
mounting your 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 won’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.
Communications Commission) permits opera-
tion 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).
•
Note: A radar detector will not alarm if an offi-
cer is not transmitting on any one of the above
radar bands.
•
POP™ Mode
POP™ Mode is a feature on some newer radar
guns operating on K and Ka bands. When the
gun is in POP™ Mode and activated, a brief burst
of energy, less that 1/15 of a second, is transmit-
ted and the vehicle’s speed is quickly acquired. A
detector without POP™ Mode detection capabili-
ty cannot respond to this brief transmission. This
detector has the power to report this new gun
where other detectors cannot!
Whistler Laser-Radar detectors receive all cur-
rent laser guns which operate at a laser wave-
length of 905 +/- 10mm.
NOTE: Any damage to the remote battery or
battery leakage, water damage or any physical
damage is not covered under the warranty.

Laser Tips
If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can
often determine your speed within a few sec-
onds 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
