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 Radar Signal IDentifier)
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 (Laser Signal IDentifier)
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.

POP™ MODE ALERTS
POP™ Mode Alerts
Because POP™ Mode radar utilizes the same
K or Ka band frequencies, POP™ Mode Alerts will be displayed as regular radar alerts.
LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts

If difficulties occur which cannot be solved by information in this Troubleshooting Guide, please call Whistler Customer Service at
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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.
ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
In Most States YES.
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.
FCC INFORMATION
FCC ID: HSXWH20
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)This device many not cause harmful interference,
(2)this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Important: FCC requirements state that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Whistler could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

SPEED MONITORING
POP™ Mode
Beltronics Vector 955
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 transmitted and the vehicle’s speed is quickly acquired. A detector without POP™ Mode detection capability cannot respond to this brief transmission.
Laser Facts
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
•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 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.
Whistler
21
SPEED MONITORING
Laser Tips
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.
Radar Facts
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).
Note: A radar detector will only alarm if an officer is transmitting on any one of the above radar bands.
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.
22
SPEED MONITORING
Radar Detector Detectors:
The Interceptor
Because its purpose is to identify persons driving with radar detectors, these devices are known as a “radar detector detector” (RDD).
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,
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.
