Its alert priority feature ensures that the most critical signals are communicated first. Power efficiency is achieved through an integrated battery saver mode, which automatically shuts off the device when not in use. Additionally, a Stay Alert feature is included to promote driver awareness on long trips by requiring periodic input to verify alertness. The Whistler XTR145 also includes a vehicle battery voltage indicator, offering added utility. It is powered via a 12V power cord for easy in-car use.
