• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending  
the windshield bracket.  
Power Cord: Plug your included power cord into  
your detector and into your lighter socket to  
slowly charge the rechargeable batteries. This  
will also provide power to the detector. The dis-  
play will dimly blink the “III” icon when the unit  
is charging the batteries. When the power cable  
is removed from the detector or the vehicles  
lighter socket is switched off, the unit will alarm  
and illuminate the icons in a sequencing fashion,  
then turn off.  
Note: As with all battery operated devices, remove  
the batteries when this unit will not be used for an  
extended period of time. Damage caused by leaky  
or improperly charged batteries are not covered  
under warranty.  
• Press the bracket release button and remove the  
detector before bending.  
Feature Engaged Confirmation  
Each time a button is pressed, one beep confirms

Quiet Mode  
City/City I/City II Mode  
Highway 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.  
Whistlers Three Stage City Mode is designed to  
reduce the annoyance of automatic door open-  
ers, intrusion alarms and other devices which  
share frequencies with police radar. Generally, X  
band is used for these devices.  
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.  
• Press Quiet to cancel the audio.  
For more information on City and Highway mode,  
please visit our FAQ page on our website:  
www.whistlergroup.com  
• Press Quiet a second time during an alert to  
restore the standard audio alert pattern; or turn  
the unit off, then on.  
• Press City to cancel Highway mode and  
engage City. Display will switch from “H” to “C”  
• Press City again to enter City I Mode  
• Press City again to enter City II Mode  
Note: After 3 seconds, “I” or “II” City Mode  
indicator turns off.  
• Pressing City a fourth time cancels City II Mode  
and returns the unit to Highway Mode.  
Teach/Tutorial Mode  
Auto Quiet Mode  
Provides simulated alerts for each type of signal.  
• Press City and Quiet simultaneously and release.  
• Unit will go thru all the bands detected.  
• Press Power to exit.  
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  
Dim/Dark Mode reduces the illumination of the  
display  
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals  
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. City I and City II  
Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but  
in City I Mode, only the X band sensitivity is low-  
ered. In City II Mode, X-band is not detected.  
• 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.  
• Press and hold “Power” for 2 seconds to  
reduce illumination to a dim setting  
• Pressing and holding the “Power” button 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 20 seconds after,  
then the display returns to the dimmer setting.  
Caution: Some towns/small cities may still be  
using X band radar. City Modes do not change  
the audio alert for laser or VG-2.  
• Pressing and holding the “Power” button a  
third time restores the display to full  
illumination.

OPERATION  
OPERATION  
OPERATION  
Engaging/Disengaging VG-2  
To engage VG-2:  
Auto Shut Off Mode  
Stay Alert Feature  
Auto Shut Off Mode automatically shuts off the  
detector if you forget.  
The timer is reset:  
The Stay Alert Feature is designed to test a dri-  
vers alertness. To engage (when unit is not alarm-  
ing):  
• Press and hold the “Quiet” button until the  
“V/L” is illuminated.  
To disengage VG-2:  
1. Each time the detector is turned off  
2. The optional power cord is unplugged  
3. Any button is pressed before the timer has  
expired.  
The detector will alert you with an audible and  
visual warning before it shuts off. This auto off  
function can be programmed for the following:  
Off, 1, 2, or 3 hours.  
• Press and hold City until a first audible alert is  
given. The “H” or “C” will flash indicating Stay  
Alert is activated.  
• Press and hold the “Quiet” button until the  
“V/L” turns off.  
VG-2 Detection  
Within 30-60 seconds two beeps are sounded;  
to show alertness, the driver must press either  
the “City”, “Volume”, or “Quiet” buttons within  
3-5 seconds. If a button is pressed within 3-5 sec-  
onds, the cycle is repeated.  
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is  
sounded for 3 seconds and the display flashes  
the “V/L” icon for 30 seconds.This cycle is  
repeated if the VG-2 signal is again detected.  
During the period a VG-2 signal is detected, a  
radar signal cannot be detected. However,  
because the VG-2 alert has confirmed that a  
patrol car is nearby, you are already aware of the  
potential for speed monitoring and can adjust  
your speed accordingly. Laser detection is not  
affected while a VG-2 signal is detected.  
During this warning you can reset the timer by  
pressing any button.  
If a button is not pressed within 3-5 seconds an  
alarm sounds and displays multiple scrolling icons  
If the unit has automatically turned itself off, press  
the Power button to turn the unit back on. You can  
manually engage the Auto Shut Off Mode by  
pressing and holding the City button until one  
beep is heard.  
• Press Power to cancel Stay Alert.  
WARNING!!! Stay Alert is NOT intended as a  
substitute for adequate rest. You should NOT oper-  
ate a vehicle if you are drowsy. During extended  
periods of vehicle operation, you should take fre-  
quent breaks. Improper reliance on the Stay Alert  
feature may result in vehicle damage, personal  
injury or death. NEVER OPERATE A VEHICLE IF  
YOU ARE DROWSY.  
VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts  
Note: You must turn this feature on before it will  
detect VG-2.  
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,  
indicating an “all clear” condition. During a VG-2  
Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot be  
received (Reference page 21 for VG-2 information).  
The Auto Shut Off feature can be disabled or  
changed to 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours. Press  
and hold the “Quiet” button for approximately  
2 seconds until a single beep is heard. The dis-  
play will flash the “H” or “C” and the signal  
strength indicators “I”, “II” or “III”, representing  
hours. Pressing the “Volume” button will change  
the selection. When no signal strength icons are  
flashing, the feature is disabled.  
SWS  
Safety Warning System™  
In communities where Safety Warning System™  
transmitters are located, the detector will  
receive over 60 messages. When Safety Radar is  
detected, the audio alert is given and the dis-  
play alternately flashes the “I”, “III” and “II”  
icons.  
Note: Not all areas have Safety Warning System™  
transmitters.

Example:  
Unit is now reset to the following features  
and settings.  
Default factory settings are:  
1. Audio to level (4)  
2. Display shows “H”  
3. Auto Quiet Mode OFF  
4. VG-2 Detection Mode OFF  
5. Auto Shut Off to 1 hour  
6. Full Power Up sequence  
7. Dim/Dark to full Illumination  
If X band is alerting, then suddenly a VG-2  
signal is detected, the VG-2 warning will  
override the X band alert.  
“K/Ka” Icon will flash for Ka detection  
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts  
When a laser signal is detected, the “V/L” will  
be illuminated.  
POP MODE ALERTS  
POPMode Alerts  
®
Pulse Protection  
Because POPMode travels on regular radar  
bandwidth, there is no particular alert for POP™  
Mode transmissions. POPMode alerts will be  
displayed as a regular radar alert.  
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.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
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.  
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.  
Max Signal  
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.  
• Check fuse in Whistler plug; replace if  
necessary with a 2 amp 3AG type.

the factory.  
As with all battery operated devices remove the  
batteries when this unit will not be used for an  
extended period of time. Damage caused by  
leaky or improperly charged batteries are not  
covered under warranty. Check with the battery  
manufacturer about the specific battery warranty.  
SPEED MONITORING  
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 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).  
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: 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.  
Concerning trucks over 10,000 lbs., the Federal  
Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a  
regulation, 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.  
Note: A radar detector will not alarm if an offi-  
cer is not transmitting on any one of the above  
radar bands.  
PROBLEM: Unit turns itself off  
• See Auto Shut Off Mode feature on page 12.  
POP™ Mode  
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 transmit-  
ted and the vehicles speed is quickly acquired. A  
detector without POPMode detection capabili-  
ty cannot respond to this brief transmission.

SPEED MONITORING  
SPEED MONITORING  
SPEED MONITORING  
Note: Having a radar detector capable of  
detecting the VG-2 may alert you to the pres-  
ence of a speed trap. The newest tool Police  
have to detect radar detectors is called Spectre.  
Spectree can detect the majority of undetectable  
(VG-2) laser/radar detectors on the market.  
Total Band Protection™  
Laser Tips  
Complete Band Coverage that detects laser,  
radar, VG-2 and safety radar bands.  
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 situa-  
tion 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!  
Laser Facts  
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 dis-  
tance 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:  
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.  
WARRANTY INFORMATION  
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:  
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  
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.  
• Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and  
matches your driving speed.  
• Vascar/Aircraft - The time it takes a vehicle to  
travel a known distance is measured.  
• 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  
won’t either.  
• The receiving range of a laser detector will  
not be the same as a radar signal. Laser guns  
are most often used at short range.  
Radar Detector Detectors: VG-2,  
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 it purpose is to identify persons driving with  
radar detectors, these devices are known as a “radar  
detector detector” (RDD).  
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 a RDD,  
leaving unsuspecting motorists vulnerable to receive  
two tickets - one potentially for speeding, the other  
for possession of a detector.  
Whistler Laser-Radar detectors receive all current  
laser guns which operate at a laser wavelength of 905  
+/- 10nm.
