It uses a single, short-time pulse to measure the target vehicle's speed. The Pop mode receiver senses Pop singles beyond the effective range of Pop radar guns. As the Pop mode receiver is so sensitive, you should limit the use of Pop Detect mode to highway and rural driving. Pop Alert will alert you to Pop radar signals. During the alert, the unit continues to detect other signals. The factory setting is Pop Detect Off. 14 English Settings and Detection Your Detector Pop Alert (continued) To Turn Pop Alert On and Off While no signal is being detected, press and hold both the Dim and City buttons for four seconds.

In Voice Alert mode you will first hear several tones, then a voice message announcing the type of signal detected, followed by more tones. In Tone Alert mode, you will hear the tones only. In both Voice Alert and Tone Alert modes, a distinctly different alert tone is used for each type of signal detected (including separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K, Ka and Ku band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as you approach the signal source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful information about the signal detected. (See responding to alerts on page 18.) An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the UltraBright data Display. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, a number will also appear, indicating the strength of the signal detected.
