TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
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.
PROBLEM: No display or audio.
Check fuse in plug; replace if necessary with
a 2 amp, 3AG type. Check fuse for lighter
socket; replace if necessary. Make sure the
lighter socket is clean.
PROBLEM:
Audio alerts are not loud
enough.
Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.
Check audio level setting (see pg.7-9).
PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle
hits bumps. Check for loose lighter socket;
tighten and clean. Check connections at both
ends of power cord. Substitute another cord
to determine if the cord is defective. Return
the defective cord to the factory.
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 before returning your
unit for service.
Care & 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.
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.
TheFederalHighwayAdministration(FHWA)
passed a nationwide regulation, effective
January 1994, which prohibited radar and laser
detector use in vehicles over 10,000 lbs.
FCC Information
FCC ID: HSXWH10 - CR65/CR70
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) this device may 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?
SPEED MONITORING
Radar Facts
A radar gun operates by transmitting radio
waves at certain frequencies which reflect off
objects and are then 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(10.500-10.550GHz),KBand(24.050
-24.250GHz),andKaBand(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.
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 transmission can cover more than a
four-lane highway at a distance of 1,000 feet,
compared with a laser transmission which
covers about 3 feet at the same distance. For
best protection, keep these points, listed on
the following section, in mind:
SPEED MONITORING
Laser Facts (Continued)
• 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.
• Whistler Laser-Radar detectors receive all
current laser guns which operate at a laser
wavelength of 905 ± 50 nm including but
not limited to the following:
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 time it takes a
vehicle to travel a known distance is
measured.
SPEED MONITORING
Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2) Spectre
The Interceptor VG-2, or simply VG-2, is a
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,
the VG-2 is known as a “radar detector
detector”.The VG-2 is a tool used by the
police to identify radar detector equipped
vehicles. If caught, in a state 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 VG-2, leaving
unsuspecting motorists vulnerable to receiving
two tickets—one potentially for speeding, the
otherforpossessionofadetector.Havinga
radar detector capable of detecting the VG-2
may alert you to the presence of a speed trap.
For more information on speed monitoring
technologies, please visit our F.A.Q. page on
our website: www.whistlergroup.com
It is the responsibility of the individual radar
detector operator to know and understand
the laws in your area regarding the legality
of the use of radar detectors.
NOTE: Havingaradardetectorcapable
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/radardetectorson
the market.
