OPERATION

City/City 1/City 2 Mode

Whistler’s Three Stage City Mode is designed to

reduce the annoyance of automatic door openers,

intrusion alarms and other devices which share frequencies

with police radar. Generally, X band is used for these

devices.

• Press City to cancel Highway mode and engage City.

• Press City again to enter City 1 Mode - display shows ‘C1

Lo X’.

• Press City again to enter City 2 Mode - display shows ‘C2

No X’

• Pressing City a fourth time cancels City 2 Mode and

returns the unit to Highway Mode.

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. 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.

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.

Engaging/Disengaging VG-2

See Option Select Mode to turn this feature on/off.

When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is

sounded and the display flashes “VG-2”. After 3 sec-

onds the audio is canceled and the display no

longer flashes. This cycle is repeated if the VG-2 sig-

nal is again detected. During the period a VG-2 sig-

nal 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.

Teach/Tutorial Mode

Provides simulated alerts for each type of signal.

• Press City and Quiet simultaneously and release.

• Display Shows:

• Press Power to exit.
