Whistler CR85 Laser Radar Detector Specification

The Whistler CR85 Laser Radar Detector is a sophisticated device designed to enhance driver awareness and safety by detecting radar and laser signals used in speed enforcement. It operates across a wide range of radar bands, including X, K, and Ka, ensuring comprehensive detection capabilities. The CR85 is equipped with advanced Total Band Protection, which safeguards against all radar guns used today. It features a high-performance antenna that provides long-range detection and early alerts, giving drivers ample time to adjust their speed if necessary.

The detector includes patented Traffic Flow Signal Rejection (TFSR) technology, which minimizes false alerts from traffic monitoring systems, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the alerts. Additionally, the CR85 is equipped with Laser Ally and Laser Atlanta Stealth Mode detection, further broadening its capability to detect various laser signals. Its digital signal processing (DSP) enhances its accuracy, reducing false alarms and ensuring that alerts are both timely and dependable.

The device features an intuitive blue OLED display that provides clear visual alerts and signal strength indicators, making it easy for drivers to interpret information quickly. It also includes voice alerts, allowing drivers to stay informed without taking their eyes off the road. The CR85 is designed with a compact and sleek form factor, making it convenient to mount on any vehicle dashboard or windshield. It also offers customizable features such as city and highway modes, allowing drivers to adapt the sensitivity based on their driving environment. The Whistler CR85 provides an essential tool for drivers seeking a reliable and advanced radar detection system, combining precision, versatility, and user-friendly operation.

Whistler CR85 Laser Radar Detector F.A.Q.

How do I mount the Whistler CR85 in my vehicle?

What does the 'LASER' alert mean on my Whistler CR85?

The 'LASER' alert indicates that the detector has sensed a laser-based speed detection device targeting your vehicle.

How can I update the firmware of my Whistler CR85?

The Whistler CR85 does not support firmware updates as it is designed to function with its pre-installed software.

Why is my Whistler CR85 giving false alerts?

False alerts can occur due to interference from other electronic devices or radar signals. Try adjusting the sensitivity settings or use the city mode to reduce false alerts.

How do I reset my Whistler CR85 to factory settings?

To reset the CR85, power off the device, press and hold the 'Quiet' button while turning it back on until you hear a beep. This will reset it to factory settings.

What is the best way to clean my Whistler CR85?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the CR85. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or moisture that could damage the device.

What do I do if my Whistler CR85 is not powering on?

Ensure the power cord is securely connected and check the fuse in the power cord. If the problem persists, try a different power outlet or consult with customer support.

Can I use the Whistler CR85 in all vehicles?

Yes, the CR85 is designed to be compatible with most vehicles. However, ensure that the power source is 12V and the windshield does not have a metallic tint that might block radar signals.

How do I mute alerts on the Whistler CR85?

To mute alerts, press the 'Quiet' button when an alert sounds. This will silence the alarm for that specific alert.

What is the difference between city and highway mode on the Whistler CR85?

City mode reduces the sensitivity of the detector to minimize false alerts in urban areas, while highway mode maximizes sensitivity for detecting signals over longer distances.
