Whistler Pro68SE Laser Radar Detector Specification

The Whistler Pro68SE Laser Radar Detector is a sophisticated device designed for advanced detection of radar and laser signals, providing drivers with enhanced awareness of speed monitoring systems. This radar detector is engineered with a high-performance antenna that ensures long-range detection and early warnings, enabling users to adjust their driving accordingly. It operates across multiple bands, including X, K, and Ka, as well as detecting laser signals, offering comprehensive coverage against various speed detection technologies. The Pro68SE features a sleek, compact design that complements any vehicle interior, making it an unobtrusive addition to the dashboard.

Equipped with a user-friendly interface, the Whistler Pro68SE includes an easy-to-read icon display and voice alerts, which provide clear and concise notifications without the need for the driver to take their eyes off the road. The device also includes a City Mode and Highway Mode, allowing users to minimize false alerts in urban environments while maintaining sensitivity on open roads. Moreover, the detector features VG-2 Cloaking Technology, which helps evade detection from radar detector detectors, ensuring privacy and discretion.

The Pro68SE is powered by a 12V direct wire or a power cord, offering flexibility in installation. Its innovative alert priority feature ensures that the most critical signals are highlighted first for immediate attention. Additionally, the device includes Stay Alert features, promoting driver vigilance by requiring periodic interaction with the detector. The Whistler Pro68SE Laser Radar Detector is a reliable companion for drivers seeking to maintain awareness and avoid speed-related infractions, combining advanced technology with practical usability.

Whistler Pro68SE Laser Radar Detector F.A.Q.

How do I properly install the Whistler Pro68SE in my vehicle?

To install the Whistler Pro68SE, mount the detector on the windshield using the provided suction cups or on the dashboard using the non-skid pad. Ensure it has a clear view of the road and adjust the bracket for best detection. Connect the power cord to the detector and plug it into the cigarette lighter socket.

What should I do if the detector does not power on?

First, check the power cord connection to ensure it is securely plugged into both the detector and the power source. Verify that the cigarette lighter socket is functioning by testing with another device. Inspect the power cord for any damage. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact Whistler support.

How can I reduce false alerts on my Whistler Pro68SE?

To reduce false alerts, enable the City mode, which reduces sensitivity to non-threatening signals. Adjust the filter settings to a higher level if necessary. Regularly update the detector's firmware if updates are available from Whistler.

What does the VG-2 detection feature do?

The VG-2 detection feature detects VG-2 radar detector-detectors used by law enforcement. When the Whistler Pro68SE detects a VG-2 signal, it will alert the user and shut down radar detection to prevent detection by VG-2 devices.

How can I test if my radar detector is working properly?

To test the radar detector, drive past a known radar source, such as a speed sign or a radar-equipped police vehicle. The detector should alert you with audible and visual signals. If it doesn’t, check the installation and settings or perform a factory reset.

How should I clean and maintain my Whistler Pro68SE?

To clean the detector, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the unit in water. Regularly check and clean the suction cups to ensure they adhere properly. Periodically inspect the power cord for wear and tear.

Why does the detector give a continuous alert on the highway?

Continuous alerts on the highway may result from strong radar sources such as traffic monitoring systems or automatic door openers. Switching to Highway mode increases sensitivity, so consider using City mode if false alerts are too frequent.

What are the different modes available on the Whistler Pro68SE?

The Whistler Pro68SE offers Highway and City modes. Highway mode provides maximum sensitivity for detecting distant signals, suitable for open roads. City mode reduces sensitivity to minimize false alerts in urban environments.

Can the Whistler Pro68SE detect laser signals?

Yes, the Whistler Pro68SE can detect laser signals. It uses a 360-degree laser detection feature to identify laser threats from all directions, providing alerts to help drivers react in time.

What should I do if the detector's display is not visible?

If the display is not visible, check the brightness setting and adjust it if necessary. Ensure the detector is positioned to avoid direct sunlight that can wash out the display. If the issue persists, the display may need servicing.
