Whistler Pro73 Laser Radar Detector Specification

The Whistler Pro73 Laser Radar Detector is a sophisticated device designed to provide drivers with advanced warning of various radar and laser signals used by law enforcement. It operates across multiple frequency bands, including X, K, and Ka, offering broad-spectrum coverage for better detection capability. The Pro73 features a high-gain optical lens that enhances its laser detection sensitivity, allowing it to identify laser signals from a greater distance and at a wider angle.

The device incorporates Whistler's patented VG-2 cloaking technology, which makes it invisible to VG-2 radar detector detectors, thereby ensuring uninterrupted functionality. A key component of the Pro73 is its digital icon display, which provides clear visual alerts and is designed to be easy to read under various lighting conditions. The display includes multiple signal strength indicators, allowing users to gauge the proximity of detected signals.

Auditory alerts are customizable, offering both voice and tone options to suit user preferences. The Pro73 also includes a city mode that reduces the frequency of false alerts in urban settings by filtering out non-police radar signals. Its dim mode feature adjusts the brightness of the display, making it less distracting during nighttime driving.

Power is supplied via a 12V power cord, and the unit includes an alert priority feature that prioritizes the strongest signal when multiple signals are detected. Installation is straightforward, with a windshield mount and power cord included in the package. The Whistler Pro73 is engineered to enhance driver awareness and safety by delivering reliable and timely alerts, ensuring users can respond appropriately to radar and laser threats on the road.

Whistler Pro73 Laser Radar Detector F.A.Q.

How do I install the Whistler Pro73 in my vehicle?

To install the Whistler Pro73, mount the detector on your windshield using the suction cups provided. Ensure it is level and has a clear view of the road. Connect the power cord to the detector and plug it into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

How can I optimize the detection range of my Whistler Pro73?

To optimize detection range, position the detector high on the windshield, ensuring it is parallel to the road. Avoid placing it behind any metallic tint as it can reduce effectiveness.

Why is my Whistler Pro73 not powering on?

If your Whistler Pro73 is not powering on, check the power connection to ensure it is secure. Verify that the cigarette lighter socket is functioning. If it still doesn't power on, try using a different power cord or inspect the fuse in the power plug.

What do the different alert tones mean on the Whistler Pro73?

The Whistler Pro73 uses distinct tones for different radar bands: X-band, K-band, and Ka-band. Refer to the user manual for the specific tone associated with each band.

How do I perform a factory reset on the Whistler Pro73?

To perform a factory reset, turn off the device. Press and hold the ‘City’ and ‘Quiet’ buttons simultaneously while turning the detector back on until you hear a beep.

How can I reduce false alerts on the Whistler Pro73?

To reduce false alerts, use the ‘City’ mode when driving in urban areas to filter out non-police radar signals. Adjust the 'Sensitivity' setting according to your driving environment.

Does the Whistler Pro73 detect laser signals?

Yes, the Whistler Pro73 is capable of detecting laser signals. Ensure the detector is properly mounted and has a clear forward view to maximize its laser detection capabilities.

What should I do if the Whistler Pro73 is not detecting radar signals?

If your detector is not picking up radar signals, ensure it is properly mounted and powered. Check settings to make sure the correct detection modes are enabled. Consider testing the device in a different location to rule out environmental factors.

How do I update the software on my Whistler Pro73?

The Whistler Pro73 does not support software updates as it is designed to function with the pre-installed detection capabilities. Regular maintenance and correct usage are recommended for optimal performance.

What maintenance is required for the Whistler Pro73?

To maintain your Whistler Pro73, clean the detector regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and ensure the lenses are clear. Check the power connections periodically and inspect the suction cups for wear to maintain a secure mount.
