How Safety Radar Works How Safety Warning Systems Works Safety Warning Systems, or SWS, is a modified K-band radar signal used to transmit important driving related information. From the factory, your RX75 is programmed with SWS turned ON. If SWS is not used in your area, you can simply turn SWS reception OFF by using the RX75's Programming feature. The SWS system has 64 possible messages (60 allocated). The SWS messages your RX75 can decode and display are listed on the facing page. Note: Some of the safety messages have been condensed, so each message can be displayed on one or two screens on the RX75's eight character display. Since Safety radar technology is relatively new and the number of transmitters in operation is not yet widespread, you will not receive Safety signals on a daily basis and should not be surprised to encounter emergency vehicles, road hazards and railroad crossings that are unequipped with these transmitters and, therefore, fail to provide a signal. As Safety transmitters become more prevalent (the number of operating transmitters is growing every day), these Safety radar signals will become more common.
