Spec FR
The Spec FR meter mode displays the numeric frequency and band of the highest priority threat along
with a front and rear bar graph of its signal strength. The left bar graph shows the signal in front of the
detector while the right bar graph shows the signal strength from the rear. If there are multiple alerts
present, only the signal strength of the highest priority threat is displayed. Laser is the highest priority
threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between the bar graphs is the total number
of alerts that are being detected.
Expert FR
Expert FR meter mode (FR = Front and Rear signal strengths) simultaneously tracks up to four radar
alerts displaying each alert’s band along with a bar graph of their front and rear signal strengths. When
using this meter mode the rear signal strength bar graph is always the opposite color of the selected
display color. In the above image, a Ka band, two K bands, and an X band signal are being detected.
The X band alert is grey to show that it is a locked out false alert. For more information about locking out
false alerts see the GPS Filtering/TrueLock section. Expert FR meter mode can help you spot a change
in your normal driving environment (e.g., a trac radar unit being operated in an area where there are
normally other signals present).
Simple
Simple messages replace bands and signal strengths or frequencies:
Caution used when an alert is received while you are traveling below your current Cruise Alert
setting (or posted speed limit for your current location when connected to Drive Smarter).
Slow Down displayed when an alert is received while you are traveling above the current Cruise Alert
setting (or posted speed limit of your current location, when connected to Drive Smarter).

ALERTS
Standard
The Standard meter mode provides only the band information and front signal strength information of a single
alert. When radar is detected, the band (X, K or Ka) and a bar graph of the signal’s strength are displayed.
When laser is detected, the display will simply read “Laser.” If there are multiple alerts present, only the highest
priority threat is displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar.
Standard FR
The Standard FR meter mode displays the band of the highest priority threat along with a front and rear
bar graph of its signal strength.. The left bar graph shows the signal strength in front of the detector while
the right bar graph shows the signal strength from the rear. If there are multiple alerts present, only the
signal strength of the highest priority threat is displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by
Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between the bar graphs is the total number of alerts that are
being detected.

How Radar Works
Trac radar, which consists of microwaves, travels in straight lines and is easily reected by objects such
as cars, trucks, even guardrails and overpasses. Radar works by directing its microwave beam down
the road. As your vehicle travels into range, the microwave beam bounces o your car, and the radar
antenna looks for the reections.
Using the Doppler Principle, the radar equipment then calculates your speed by comparing the
frequency of the reection of your car to the original frequency of the beam sent out.
Trac radar has limitations, the most signicant of these being that it typically can monitor only one
target at a time. If there is more than one vehicle within range, it is up to the radar operator to decide
which target is producing the strongest reection. Since the strength of the reection is aected by both
the size of the vehicle and its proximity to the antenna, it is dicult for the radar operator to determine if
the signal is from a sports car nearby or a semi-truck several hundred feet away.
Radar range also depends on the power of the radar equipment itself. The strength of the radar unit’s beam
diminishes with distance. The farther the radar has to travel, the less energy it has for speed detection.
Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as X, and K-band
radar, your detector will occasionally receive non-police radar signals. These transmitters generally
produce much weaker readings than will a true radar encounter.
As you become familiar with the sources of these pseudo alarms in your daily driving, they will serve as
conrmation that your device’s radar detection abilities are fully operational.
How Laser (Lidar) Works
Laser speed detection is actually light detection and ranging (LIDAR). Laser guns project a beam of
invisible infrared light. The signal is a series of very short infrared light energy pulses that move in a
straight line, reecting o your car and returning to the gun. Laser uses these light pulses to measure
the distance to a vehicle. Speed is then calculated by measuring how quickly these pulses are reected,
given the known speed of light.
Laser is a newer technology whose use is not as widespread as conventional radar; therefore, you may not
encounter it on a daily basis. And unlike radar detection, laser is not prone to false alarms. Because laser
transmits a much narrower beam than does radar, it is much more accurate in its ability to distinguish between
targets and is also more dicult to detect. As a result, even the briefest laser alert should be taken seriously.
There are limitations to laser, however. Laser is much more sensitive to weather conditions than radar,
and a laser gun’s range will be decreased by anything aecting visibility, such as rain, fog or smoke. A
laser gun cannot operate through glass, and it must be stationary to get an accurate reading. Because
laser must have a clear line of sight and is subject to cosine error (an inaccuracy that increases as the
angle between the gun and the vehicle increases), police typically use laser equipment parallel to the
road or from an overpass. Laser can be used day or night.
TSR Signal Ranking Software
Your radar detector includes an optional boost in anti-falsing software to eliminate excessive alerts from
erroneous K-band sources. One example of this is trac ow monitoring systems. These systems,
which are becoming more widely used in several countries, generate K-band signals to measure the ow
of trac on a given road. Unfortunately most detectors see this as a real threat and will alert you to it
unnecessarily. Our proprietary TSR software, intelligently sorts, ranks and rejects this type of false alarm
automatically. The result is ultimate protection without excessive false alarms.
