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.  
Highway Mode  
Highway mode provides full audio warnings any  
time radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser  
signals are detected, and is recommended for  
open road driving. For more information on City and  
Highway modes, please visit our FAQ page on our

P OP M ODE ALERTS  
POPMode Alerts  
®
Pulse Protection  
Because POPMode radar utilizes the same  
K or Ka band frequencies, POPMode 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.  
Check fuse in Whistler plug; replace if  
necessary with a 2 amp 3AG type.

SP EED M ONITORING  
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 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  
POPMode is a feature on some 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

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  
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:  
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.  
Other Speed Detection Systems  
W ARRANTY INFORM ATION  
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 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. If you  
cant see past a vehicle ahead of you, chances  
are your detector wont either.  
P

Vascar/Aircraft - The time it takes a vehicle to  
travel a known distance is measured.  
Radar Detector Detectors: VG-2,  
Spectre  
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

two tickets - one potentially for speeding, the other  
for possession of a detector.
