FEATURES

Your RadioShack Front/Rear Laser X•K•Ka Superwide

Radar Detector receives all X-, K-, and Ka-band traffic

radar signals and also detects both the instant-on and

laser systems many police departments now use to

measure vehicle speed. Plus, it can alert you to road

hazards signaled by either a Safety Warning System or

Safety Alert Signal. When it detects a signal, your easy-

to-mount detector alerts you with a light and a tone,

which increase in speed as the signal gets stronger.

The detector’s built-in laser sensors detect traffic laser

signals coming from in front of and behind your vehicle.

Your detector also has FAST®(False Alert Suppression

Technology) circuitry that helps prevent false alarms

caused by signals from other radar detectors, without

reducing your detector’s sensitivity to traffic radar signals.

Your detector’s many useful features include:

VG-2 Protection — makes your detector invisible to

the VG-2 radar-detector detector when its senses VG-2

is being used.

Safety Alert Signal Detection — warns you when the

detector detects signals broadcast by safety alert trans-

mitters. Some public safety and government agencies

install these transmitters in some emergency vehicles

and near some known road hazards and construction

areas, to provide advance warning of potentially haz-

ardous situations.

Safety Warning System — alerts you to the presence

of potential road hazards and emergency vehicles sig-

nalled by a safety radar transmission.

X-, K-, Ka-Band, and Laser Signal Detection —

warns you when the detector detects signals from traf-

fic radar or laser devices. Different tones sound and dif-

ferent indicators flash to let you know the type of signal

received.

City/Highway Modes — let you reduce the detector’s

sensitivity to weak X-, K-, and Ka-band signals, without

affecting the detector’s sensitivity to laser signals while

you are in the city.

Note: Some areas have laws regulating the use of

radar detectors. Check with your local law enforcement

agency about the laws in your area.

We recommend you record your detector’s serial num-

ber here. The number is on the detector’s bottom

panel.

SAFETY ALERT AND SAFETY

WARNING SYSTEM

These systems are low-powered transmitters used by

some emergency services and road crews to alert driv-

ers to hazardous conditions. The Safety Alert system

can indicate stationary, moving, or railroad hazards.

Radar detectors that are Safety Alert compatible, such

as this one, indicate the presence of a Safety Alert sig-

nal.

The Safety Warning System is like Safety Alert, but it

operates at a higher power level and can alert you to

many different emergency or hazardous conditions in

the area. Your detector’s three safety indications show

three major categories of Safety Warning System mes-

sages.

While neither system is currently in wide use, they have

the potential to dramatically decrease the potential for

traffic accidents by increasing drivers’ awareness of

local road hazards. Having this radar/laser detector will

ensure that you are ready to use these systems as they

come into use.
