TROUBLESHOOTING CARE AND MAINTENANCE FCC INFORMATION

Your Whistler detector is expertly engineered

and designed to exacting quality standards to

provide you with reliable, trouble-free operation.

If your unit has been correctly installed following

the guidelines in this manual, but is not operat-

ing optimally, please refer to the troubleshoot-

ing guide below.

PROBLEM: No display or audio.

• Check fuse in Whistler plug; replace if necessary with

a 2 amp 3AG type.

• Check fuse for lighter socket; replace if necessary.

• Make sure lighter socket is clean.

PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits

bumps.

• Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean.

• Check connections at both ends of power cord.

Substitute another cord to determine if cord is

defective. Return defective cord to the factory.

PROBLEM: Unit alarms when using vehicle

electrical accessories

(brakes, power mirrors,

power windows, turn signals, horn, etc.).

• Vehicle’s electrical system, including battery and

alternator, may have electrical noise. Install a filter

capacitor (470mfd. 25 volt or larger capacitance value)

on the back of the lighter socket.

PROBLEM: Remote no longer controls the

detector

• Make sure the remote is pointed at the fr

ont display.

• Possible weak or dead remote battery, replace battery.

PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud enough.

• Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.

• Check audio level setting (see page 7).

before returning your unit for service.

Care And Maintenance

During the summer months, avoid prolonged

exposure to direct sunlight by removing your unit

from the dash when your vehicle is parked for an

extended period of time. Do not spray water,

cleaners, or polishes directly onto the unit. The

spray may penetrate through the openings and

damage the unit. Also, do not use any abrasive

cleaners on the unit’s exterior.

In Most States YES!

Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state

(with the exception of Virginia and Washington,

D.C., which

have local regulations restricting the

use of radar receivers in any vehicle) when used

in automobiles or light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.).

Concerning trucks over 10,000 lbs., the Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a regula-

tion, effective January, 1994 which prohibits radar

and laser detector use in these types of vehicles

nationally. Prior to the FHWA regulation, laws

existed in the state of New York restricting the

use of radar detectors in trucks over 18,000 lbs.

and in Illinois in trucks over 26,000 lbs.

SPEED MONITORING

Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2)

The Interceptor VG-2, or simply VG-2, is a

microwave receiver used by police to detect sig-

nals radiated by the local oscillator of a radar

detector. Because its purpose is to identify per-

sons driving with radar detectors, the VG-2 is

known as a ‘radar detector detector’.

The VG-2 is the primary tool used by the police

to identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If

caught, in a state where detectors are illegal,

(see page 18), drivers risk losing their radar

detector and receiving a fine. In addition,

instant-on radar is almost always used in combina-

tion with a VG-2, leaving unsuspecting motorists vul-

nerable to receiving two tickets - one potentially

for speeding, the other for possession of a

detector.

Having a radar detector capable of detecting

the VG-2 may alert you to the presence of a speed

trap. For more information on speed monitoring

technologies, please visit our FAQ page on our
