• Whistler XTR-140 Radar Detector unit
• Virtajohto (12 V tasavirta)
• Mounting Bracket (suction cup or visor clip)
• Käyttöohje (tämä asiakirja)

2.2 Ilmaisimen asentaminen

For optimal performance, mount the detector in a location that provides a clear, unobstructed view of the road ahead and behind. Avoid placing it behind windshield wipers, tinted areas, or other obstructions that could block radar/laser signals.

Windshield Mounting (Suction Cup):

1. Puhdista tuulilasin alue, johon ilmaisin asennetaan.
2. Attach the suction cup bracket to the detector.
3. Paina imukupit tiukasti tuulilasia vasten kiinnittääksesi kiinnikkeen.
4. Adjust the angle of the detector to be level with the road.

Visor Mounting (Clip):

1. Slide the visor clip onto the detector.
2. Attach the detector to your vehicle's sun visor, ensuring it is stable and has a clear view.

2.3 Virtaliitäntä

The XTR-140 operates on 12 Volts DC power, typically supplied via your vehicle's cigarette lighter or accessory power outlet.

1. Liitä virtajohdon pienempi pää ilmaisimen virtaliitäntään.
2. Liitä virtajohdon suurempi pää ajoneuvosi 12 V:n lisävarustepistokkeeseen.
3. The unit should power on automatically if your vehicle's outlet is always active, or when the ignition is turned to the accessory or ON position.

Huomautus: Ensure the power cord is routed safely and does not interfere with driving controls or airbags.

3. Käyttöohjeet

3.1 Virta päälle/pois ja äänenvoimakkuus

The detector typically powers on automatically when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. To manually adjust volume or power, refer to the controls on the unit.

3.2 Näyttö ja hälytykset

The XTR-140 features an easy-to-read icon display that indicates:

• Teho: Ilmaisee, että laite on päällä.
• Kaupunkitila: Shows when City mode is active.
• Band Identification: Icons illuminate to show detected radar/laser bands (X, K, Ka, Laser, Safety Radar, VG-2).
• Signaalin voimakkuus: Bars indicate the proximity and strength of the detected signal.

In addition to audible alerts, the exclusive Twin Alert Periscopes provide an added attention-getting visual alert by flashing when a signal is detected.

3.3 City and Highway Modes

The XTR-140 offers three unique city modes and a highway mode to help reduce false alarms, particularly in urban areas where various signals can trigger the detector.

• Maantietila: Provides full sensitivity for all bands, ideal for open road driving.
• City Modes (City, City 1, City 2): Progressively reduce sensitivity to X-band radar, which is often responsible for false alerts from automatic door openers and other non-police sources. Select the appropriate City mode based on your driving environment to minimize nuisance alerts while maintaining detection capability.

Refer to the unit's buttons for cycling through these modes.

3.4 VG-2 Cloaking Technology

The XTR-140 incorporates patented VG-2 cloaking technology, which makes the detector undetectable by VG-2 radar detector detectors (RDDs). This feature helps ensure your privacy and compliance in areas where radar detectors might be restricted.

4. Huolto

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Whistler XTR-140, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Puhdistus: Käytä pehmeää, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the detector. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing tai näyttö.
• Linssien hoito: Keep the front and rear laser detection lenses clean and free from dust or smudges. Use a lens cleaning cloth if necessary.
• Varastointi: Kun ilmaisinta ei käytetä pitkään aikaan, säilytä sitä viileässä, kuivassa paikassa, poissa suorasta auringonvalosta ja äärimmäisistä lämpötiloista.
• Virtajohto: Inspect the power cord periodically for any signs of damage. Replace if frayed or broken.

5. Vianmääritys

If you experience issues with your Whistler XTR-140, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

5.1 Detector Does Not Power On

• Tarkista virtajohto: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the detector and the vehicle's 12V accessory outlet.
• Check Vehicle Outlet: Verify that the vehicle's 12V accessory outlet is functioning. Test with another device if possible. Some outlets are only active when the ignition is on.
• Tarkista sulake: The power cord may contain a fuse. Check and replace if blown (refer to power cord instructions for fuse location and type).

5.2 Frequent False Alerts

• Switch to City Mode: If driving in urban areas, activate one of the City modes (City, City 1, City 2) to reduce sensitivity to X-band radar, which is often emitted by automatic door openers and other non-police sources.
• Tarkista kiinnityspaikka: Ensure the detector is not picking up reflections from vehicle components or other objects.
• Tunnista lähde: Pay attention to where and when false alerts occur to identify common sources in your driving environment.

5.3 Weak or No Detection

• Tarkista kiinnityspaikka: Ensure the detector has a clear, unobstructed view of the road. Obstructions like tinted windows, wipers, or dashboard items can block signals.
• Vahvistustila: Ensure the detector is not in a mode that significantly reduces sensitivity (e.g., a very restrictive City mode when on a highway).
• Puhtaat linssit: Ensure the radar/laser receiving lenses are clean and free from dirt or smudges.
