Pulse Protection
Because POP™ Mode radar utilizes the same
K or Ka band frequencies, POP™ Mode Alerts will be
displayed as regular radar alerts.
Pulse (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 the display will show a max
signal strength level.
TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
MMaaxx SSiiggnnaall
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.
PROBLEM: No display or audio.
Make sure batteries are installed with the
correct polarity.
Make sure batteries are fully charged.
Make sure battery contacts are clean.

Radar Facts
PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud
enough.
Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.
Check audio level setting. (see pages 7-8 )
A radar gun operates by transmitting radio
waves at certain frequencies which reflect off
objects and are picked up by the radar gun’s
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 vehicle’s 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).
ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES!
Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state for
automobiles and light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.)
except Virginia and Washington, D.C., which
have local regulations restricting the use of
radar receivers in any vehicle.
•
•
PROBLEM: Low Battery Life.
•
One or more of the batteries may be
defective.
•
See the battery life tips on page 6.
If difficulties occur which cannot be solved by
information in this Troubleshooting Guide, please
call Whistler Customer Service at 1-800-531-0004
or visit our FAQ page at
www.whistlergroup.com/faq-detectors.asp,
before returning your unit for service.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
passed a nationwide regulation, effective
January 1994, which prohibited radar and laser
detector use in vehicles over 10,000 lbs.
Note: A radar detector will not alarm if an
officer is not transmitting on any one of the
above radar bands.
PROBLEM: Unit turns itself off
POP™ Mode
POP™ Mode is a feature on some 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 transmitted
and the vehicle’s speed is quickly acquired. A
detector without POP™ Mode detection
capability cannot respond to this brief

Note: Having a radar detector capable of
detecting the VG-2 may alert you to the
presence of a speed trap. 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.
Laser Facts
Laser Tips
It’s 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 gun’s
narrow beam. A radar gun’s transmission can
cover more than a four-lane highway at a
distance of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser
gun’s transmission which covers about 3 feet at
the same distance. For best protection, keep
these points in mind:
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!
It is the responsibility of the radar detector user to
know and understand the laws in your area
regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors.

Consumer Warranty
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:
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
limited warranty is void if the unit is abused,
modified, installed improperly, if the housing and/or
serial numbers have been removed. 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 the vehicle’s license plate or
headlights are the laser gun’s primary targets,
mounting the Whistler detector on the
dashboard can improve laser detection at
short range.
• Do not follow closely behind any vehicle. If you
can’t see past a vehicle ahead of you, chances
are your detector won’t either.
•

•
The receiving range of laser signals will
not be the same as radar signals. Laser
guns are most often used at short range.
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).
Whistler Laser-Radar detectors receive all current
laser guns which operate at a laser wavelength of 905
+/- 10nm.
Note: Damaged caused by incorrect battery
placement or battery leakage is not covered
under this warranty.
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 18), 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 potentially for speeding, the other
for possession of a detector.
