Whistler 1595SE Laser Radar Detector Specification

The Whistler 1595SE Laser Radar Detector is an advanced detection device designed to provide motorists with comprehensive radar and laser signal detection. It operates across multiple frequency bands, including X, K, and Ka, as well as laser signals, ensuring broad-spectrum coverage against various radar and laser speed enforcement devices. The unit features 360-degree Maxx coverage, allowing for detection from all directions, which enhances its reliability in identifying potential threats.

Equipped with a high-gain optical lens, the 1595SE improves the accuracy and range of laser detection. Its radar signature ID (RSID) and laser signature ID (LSID) capabilities help users distinguish between real threats and false alerts by providing specific identification of radar guns and laser signals. The detector includes a city and highway mode, enabling users to adjust sensitivity depending on their environment, which reduces the likelihood of false alerts in urban areas.

The Whistler 1595SE is designed with an easy-to-read, high-visibility display that provides clear visual alerts. This is complemented by an audio alert system with tone alerts and a voice alert function, ensuring drivers receive timely notifications without needing to look away from the road. The Quiet/Auto Quiet mode allows for customizable audio alert settings, reducing noise levels during extended trips.

Additional features include VG-2 detection, which alerts users to the presence of radar detector detectors, ensuring the 1595SE remains undetected by police equipment. The unit also supports a Stay Alert feature, which promotes driver alertness during long journeys. Powered via a 12V power cord with an optional hardwire kit, the Whistler 1595SE balances high performance with user-friendly features, making it a versatile tool for enhancing road safety.
