Whistler’s ergonomic and user-friendly design provides a new 

level of operating convenience. Special features include:

 

1.  Bracket Release Button – provides quick 

 

 

and easy release of the mounting bracket.

System, laser and VG-2.

3.  Mounting Bracket Location – slot holds

 

mounting bracket firmly.

4.  Radar Antenna – compact, high-efficiency 

 

antenna receives radar signals.

5.  Front Laser  – high gain optical lens    

 

 

provides increased sensitivity and field of   

 

view for leading-edge laser detection.

6.   Rear Laser – an integrated optical  

 

 

waveguide provides superior detection of  

 

laser signals transmitted from behind.

7.  City Button - reduces the annoyance of    

 

false alerts typically encountered in urban    

 

driving areas.

8.  Quiet Button - pressing QUIET before a   

 

signal is detected engages Auto Quiet Mode  

 

which automatically reduces the audio level after  

 

the initial warning to a low audio level setting.  

 

Pressing QUIET during a radar/laser encounter 

       silences audio alerts, while allowing visual    

 

alerts to keep you informed.

11. Menu Button - enters Option Select Mode.

12. Red OLED Text Display - provides better

      power cord.

•  Mount the unit as low as possible near the  

  center of the windshield.  

•  Do not mount the unit behind wipers,

  ornaments, mirrored sunscreens, etc. These  

  obstructions have metal surfaces which can   

  affect radar and laser signals and reduce 

  critical warning time. (Regular tinted glass    

  does not affect reception).

•  Some windshields have an Instaclear

™

 or    

 Electriclear

™

 type coating, which affect radar 

  signals. Consult your dealer or the vehicle’s  

    owner’s manual  to determine if your  

    windshield has this coating.

•  Avoid placing the unit in direct contact with

  the windshield.

•  To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal the

  unit when not in use.

•  Install the two suction cups and rubber

  bumper onto the bracket by fitting them into  

  their holes.

•  Press the suction cups onto the windshield at

  the location you have chosen. (Image A)

IMPORTANT: Make sure the unit is level
