X Band LED K Band LED P/VG-2 LED Radar Visual Alert City On LED Both=Ka Laser Visual Alert Model 1630 X K P/VG-2 Alert C Ka The Safety radar alert is displayed for as long as the signal is present and the audio alert is continuous, but has a Geiger counter like pat- tern to help you determine your distance from the Safety radar source; the faster the beeping, the closer you are to the source. Radar Band Identification (1630) When the Whistler 1630 encounters traffic radar, the Radar Band Indicators confirm the band detected by illuminating one or both of the LEDs as follows: X Band -- Amber LED Only K Band -- Red LED Only Ka Band -- Amber And Red LEDs Illuminate Laser Audio And Visual Alerts If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often determine your speed within a few sec- onds after you receive an alert. In this situa- tion there is generally no time to safely adjust your speed. However, if you are traveling near or behind the targeted vehicle and receive an alert, responsetimeshouldbesufficient.Anylaseralert, regardlessofduration,requiresimmediateaction! When your Whistler detects a laser signal, the la- ser audio alert is sounded and the four red LEDs (three red LEDs on 1610) illuminate from right to left for as long as the signal is present, or for a minimum of three seconds. 4 5 8 7 6 3 1 1630 Display 2 6.

Power Cord - Connects to the unit's power jack and your vehicle's lighter socket. Windshield Bracket - For installing the unit on your vehicle's windshield. Hook & Loop Fasteners - Designed to se- cure the unit on a level dashboard. Whistler's ergonomic and user-friendly design provides a new level of operating convenience. Special features include: 1. Rear Laser Antenna (1630) - An integrated optical waveguide provides superior de- tection of laser signals transmitted from behind. 2. Bracket Release Button - Provides quick and easy release of the mounting bracket. 3. Power/Volume Control (PWR/VOL) - A single control turns the unit on/off and ad- justs audio level. 4. QUIET Button - Pressing QUIET before a signal is detected replaces the continuous audio alert with an auto-mute audio pat- tern (1630 only). Pressing QUIET during a radar/laser encounter silences audio alerts, while allowing visual alerts to keep you informed. 5. VG-2 Button (1630 only) - Engages (one beep) or disengages (2 beeps) VG-2 Cloaking TechnologyTM for nondetectibility. 9 11 10 INTRODUCTION 1 Dear Whistler Owner, Congratulations on your purchase of a Whis- tler radarlaser detector. Reflecting our continued commitment of pro- viding innovative detection products, your Whistler detector integrates radar and laser detection in a high quality design. In addition to providing complete coverage of all radar and laser speed monitoring guns, your Whis- tler includes many preferred features. It also detects the new Safety Warning SystemTM . This provides advanced warning of various high- way hazards, enabling you to respond more appropriately to potentially dangerous con- ditions. The Whistler 1630 also offers the benefit of nondetectibility by alerting you to the presence of the VG-2 (a "radar de- tector detector"). Tofullyacquaintyourselfwiththeoperationofyour unit and to better understand the differences between detecting radar and laser signals, we recommend reading this entire manual. Enjoy your Whistler detector and please drive safely. Sincerely, WHISTLER CORPORATION MODEL FEATURES 2 MODEL FEATURES 3 LED DISPLAYS 4 OPERATION 5 Power On And Self-Test
