Signals Detected
The tables on the following pages show you the types of Signals your detector
will detect, as well as the voice and visual alerts it provides for each of them.
Audio Alerts
In Voice Alert mode you will first hear several tones, then a voice message
announcing the type of signal detected, followed by more tones. In Tone Alert
mode, you will hear the tones only.
In both Voice Alert and Tone Alert modes, a distinctly different alert tone is
used for each type of signal detected (including separate tones for each laser
signal). For X, K and Ka band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as
you approach the signal source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful
information about the signal detected. (See responding to alerts on page 17.)
Visual Display
An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the UltraBright
data Display. During X, K and Ka alerts, a number will also appear,
indicating the strength of the signal detected. (1 = weakest, 5 = strongest)
During laser alerts the letter L will appear, instead of the signal strength indication.
During VG-2 or Spectre 1 alerts, the letter V will appear. It will be steady
during VG-2 and blink during Spectre 1.
During Safety Alert and Strobe Alert the letter S will appear. It will be
steady during a Safety Alert and will blink during a Strobe Alert.
