for safe operation. When this occurs, turn the equipment or appliance off.

In the event of excess temperature, the High Speed Cooling Fan also will automatically turn on. Overheating may result when the inverter is being operated at levels exceeding its wattage rating or because it has been placed in a location or in an manner which prevents prop- er heat dissipation. After approximately 15 minutes, the High Temperature Indicator light and the Cooling Fan will turn off and the inverter will automatically restart indicating that the inverter temperature has dropped to a safe oper- ating level.

c). Over Load LED Indicator Light. This light will turn RED and the inverter will automatically shut down when the continuous power draw from the inverter exceeds the maximum continuous power rating for the inverter. Turn the inverter OFF (O), determine and resolve the cause of the overload prior to resuming operation of the equip- ment or appliance. Turning the inverter ON (I) will reset it.

d). Battery Current & Voltage Bar Graph Meters (GREEN, YELLOW, RED).

Current Indicator. This illuminated Bar Graph monitors the current being drawn from the battery by the inverter. Depending on the amount of current being drawn, the Bar Graph reading generally will be in the GREEN or YELLOW zone.

When the reading rises to the RED zone, the inverter may

automatically shut down. In this event, it is likely that the draw of the equipment or appliance being operated is greater than the battery is capable of producing.

Voltage Indicator. This Bar Graph displays the voltage being drawn from the battery by the inverter. The voltage is measured at the Negative and Positive power input termi- nals on the inverter. The voltage level reading will be lower than the battery voltage due to the voltage "drop" that occurs as the battery voltage runs through the terminal con- nections and cables.

The inverter is designed to operate with input voltages ranging from 10 to 15 volts. When the voltage drops below

10.5volts DC, the voltage indicator will register in the lower RED zone and an audible alarm will sound. If the voltage drops below 10 volts DC, the voltage indicator will go out and the inverter will automatically shut down.

The inverter also will shut down automatically when the input voltage exceeds 15 volts DC. Despite this "built in" protection, the inverter may be damaged if the input volt- age exceeds 15 volts DC and damage caused by excess voltage input is not covered under the WHISTLER warranty. Under optimum conditions, the voltage reading will be in the GREEN zone.

Note:

In the event of automatic shut down or continuous audible alarm, turn the inverter OFF (O) until the source of the relat- ed problem has been determined and resolved.

2000, 1000 specifications

Whistler 1000 and Whistler 2000 are advanced radar detectors designed for high-performance performance in detecting police radar and laser systems. These models are praised for their sophisticated technology, offering drivers the confidence needed to avoid speeding tickets and enhance road safety.

The Whistler 1000 features a dual antenna system, which allows for increased sensitivity and range in detecting radar signals. This model is engineered to provide 360-degree detection, ensuring that no radar signal goes unnoticed, regardless of the direction from which it approaches. Advanced digital signal processing enhances the ability to filter out false alerts, focusing only on relevant signals, and creating a much quieter detection experience for the user.

One of the standout characteristics of the Whistler 1000 is its ability to detect multiple radar bands, including X, K, Ka, and even Laser signals. This wide range of detection is essential as it makes the device versatile enough to handle various law enforcement radar technologies. Additionally, the device features a built-in voice alert system, which gives users real-time notifications about radar detections without the need to take their eyes off the road.

Similarly, the Whistler 2000 builds on this foundation, offering even more advanced features. It includes GPS functionality for added precision in location-based alerts. This allows the device to remember locations of false alerts and minimize inconvenience in frequently traveled areas. Complete with an OLED display, the Whistler 2000 provides clear visual indicators alongside audible alerts.

Both models are equipped with City/Highway modes, allowing drivers to adjust the sensitivity of the detection based on urban or highway driving conditions. This adaptability is particularly valuable in reducing the number of false alarms commonly experienced in city driving.

Moreover, both the Whistler 1000 and 2000 are designed for ease of installation, featuring a windshield mount for secure and unobtrusive attachment. Their compact designs ensure that they blend seamlessly with a vehicle’s interior.

In summary, the Whistler 1000 and Whistler 2000 radar detectors are distinguished by their extensive detection capabilities, intelligent filtering technologies, and thoughtful user features. Together, they represent the cutting edge of radar detection technology, providing users with powerful tools for safer driving.
