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, Ka and Ku 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, Ka and Ku alerts, a number will also appear, indicating the strength of the signal detected. (1 = weakest, 5 = strongest)

X Signal Detected	K Signal Detected	Ka Signal Detected	Ku Signal Detected
X K Ka V S 2	X K Ka V S 3	X K Ka V S 5	X K Ka V S 4

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.
