Whistler XTR130 Laser Radar Detector Specification

The Whistler XTR130 Laser Radar Detector is designed to provide advanced detection capabilities for various radar and laser signals used in speed enforcement. It offers 360-degree coverage, ensuring comprehensive detection of radar signals from all directions. The device features a high-gain optical lens that enhances the detection of laser signals, providing timely alerts to drivers. Equipped with VG-2 cloaking technology, the XTR130 is capable of remaining undetectable to VG-2 radar detector detectors, offering an additional layer of stealth.

The XTR130 supports detection of X-band, K-band, and Ka-band radar, as well as laser detection, ensuring it can identify a wide range of radar signals used by law enforcement. It includes a city mode that reduces the frequency of false alerts in urban areas, enhancing usability in different driving environments. The device is built with a safety warning system that alerts users to potential road hazards, contributing to a safer driving experience.

Its user interface includes an easy-to-read icon display and tone alerts, providing clear and immediate information to the driver about detected signals. The detector is powered by a 12-volt car adapter, ensuring consistent operation during long journeys. The device also features a signal strength indicator, allowing users to gauge the proximity of detected radar sources. The Whistler XTR130 is compact and lightweight, making it easy to install and unobtrusive in the vehicle. Its design prioritizes user convenience and effective operation, making it a reliable choice for drivers seeking enhanced awareness of their driving environment.

Whistler XTR130 Laser Radar Detector F.A.Q.

How do I properly install the Whistler XTR130 Laser Radar Detector in my vehicle?

To install the Whistler XTR130, mount the detector on the windshield using the suction cup bracket. Ensure it is level and facing the road. Plug the power cord into the detector and connect it to the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Adjust the detector's position for optimal performance.

What is the best way to test if my Whistler XTR130 is working correctly?

To test the detector, drive through an area with known radar signals, such as near traffic enforcement cameras or speed signs. The device should alert you to any detected signals. If no alerts are received, check the power connection and settings.

How can I reset my Whistler XTR130 to factory settings?

To reset the Whistler XTR130, press and hold the power and quiet buttons simultaneously until the unit beeps twice. This will restore all settings to factory defaults.

Why does my Whistler XTR130 give false alerts and how can I minimize them?

False alerts can be caused by non-police radar sources such as automatic doors or other electronic devices. To minimize them, use the city mode to reduce sensitivity in urban areas and ensure the detector is positioned correctly.

How often should I clean and maintain my Whistler XTR130?

It is recommended to clean the detector's lens and casing every few months using a soft, damp cloth. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance by preventing dust and debris buildup.

What do the different alert signals mean on the Whistler XTR130?

The XTR130 uses different tones and visual alerts for various radar bands. X, K, and Ka bands are used by law enforcement. Laser alerts indicate laser gun detection, while VG-2 alerts indicate radar detector detectors.

How can I update the firmware on my Whistler XTR130?

The Whistler XTR130 does not support firmware updates. Ensure you purchase the latest model to benefit from the most recent features and improvements.

What should I do if my Whistler XTR130 is not powering on?

Check the power cord connections and ensure the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is functioning. Test with another compatible power cord if possible. If the issue persists, contact Whistler customer support for further assistance.

Is the Whistler XTR130 compatible with all vehicle models?

Yes, the Whistler XTR130 is designed to be compatible with all vehicle models that have a standard 12V power socket. Ensure proper mounting on the windshield for optimal performance.

How do I adjust the volume on the Whistler XTR130?

To adjust the volume, press the volume up or down buttons located on the detector until the desired sound level is reached. The volume setting is saved even when the detector is turned off.
