OPERATION
Power On and Self-Test
Each time your Whistler detector is turned on, an automatic
self-test sequence confirms that the speaker and visual
displays are functional.
• Press PWR or apply Power.
Display shows:
WHISTLER, X-band, K-band, Ka-band, LASER, VG2 OFF, SR
OFF, VOICE ON, POP OFF, XK Filter 1, Ka Filter 1, TFSR ON,
FDSR OFF, HIGHWAY
To turn the unit off:
• Press and release PWR briefly and the display will show a
5-second count down before powering off. If you pressed the
power button by mistake, press the PWR button again during
this 5-second period to cancel power down.
• If the unit is powered by a switched 12 volt source the unit will
turn off when the ignition key is removed.
Memory/Beep Confirmation
All features selected (except Stay Alert and Quiet) are
retained in memory. Each time a button is pressed, one beep
confirms feature “on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.
Audio Level Adjustment

• Move the Volume control on the voice module back to
increase the audio level.
• Move the Volume control on the voice module forward to the
decrease audio level.

OPERATION
Auto Quiet Mode
Auto Quiet mode reduces the selected audio level
approximately 5 seconds after a radar or safety radar signal
is detected. The alert for any new signal within 20 seconds
will resume at the lower level. Auto Quiet mode does not
affect laser alerts.
• Press Quiet (before a signal is detected) to engage Auto Quiet
mode.
• Once the Auto Quiet mode is engaged, you may cancel the
audio alarm by pressing Quiet.
• Press Quiet (when the unit is not alarming) to cancel Auto
Quiet mode.
NOTE: Speed selectable Auto Quiet is available with the
optional RLC-360 GPS module.
Quiet Mode
Quiet mode cancels audio during an alert and any new alert
within 20 seconds. After 20 seconds of no radar signal
detected, the audio alerts are restored.
• Press Quiet to cancel the audio.
• Press Quiet a second time during an alert to restore the
standard audio alert pattern.

OPERATION
City/City 1/City 2 Modes
Whistler’s City Modes are designed to reduce the annoyance
of automatic door openers, intrusion alarms and other devices
which share frequencies with police radar. Generally, X band is
used for these devices.
• Press City to cancel Highway Mode and engage City Mode.
• Press City again to enter City 1 Mode.
• Press City again to enter City 2 Mode.
• Press City a fourth time to cancel City 2 Mode and returns the
unit to Highway Mode.
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals give an initial alarm
of two beeps, and then remain quiet until the signal becomes very
strong. When the signal strength increases, two additional beeps
are provided. City 1 and City 2 Modes operate the same as Highway
Mode, but in City 1 Mode, only the X band is lowered. In City 2
Mode, X-band is not detected.
CAUTION: Some towns/small cities may still be using X band
radar. City Modes do not change the audio alert for laser.

OPERATION
Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio warnings any time radar (X,
K, Ka, and Safety Radar) or laser signals are detected, and is
recommended for open road driving. For more information on
City and Highway modes, please visit our FAQ page on our
website: www.whistlergroup.com
Selectable Signal Strength Display
There are two settings available in Option Mode that effect how
a received radar signal strength is displayed. The “RMP STD”
(ramp standard) option uses our standard signal progression
from level 1 to 9. The “RMP FST” (ramp fast) option increases the
progression from level 1 to 9. RMP FST increases the response of
the signal strength meter for all bands.
1 = weak signal, 9 = strong signal
