Receiving Alerts
The Platinum100 provides a combination of audio and vi-
sual alerts to warn you when police radar and laser signals
are detected.
Radar Alert Sequence
The Platinum100 detects all North American police radar
signals (X, K, and Ka-Band). When a signal is identified:
• The OLED display will provide you band and signal strength
information. You can choose from a 5-bar alert display (default)
or a 3-bar alert display. The alert indicators will display a
range of colors from green when the signal is weakest to red
when the signal is strongest.
• A voice announces which radar band was detected (this
assumes the factory default “Voice On” setting has not
been changed).
• Signal strength and proximity to the radar source will be
identified as a series of Geiger counter-like tones. The
faster the tone pattern, the closer you are to the source.
Each police radar band alert has its own distinctive tone.
Laser Alert Sequence
When the Platinum100 detects a laser signal:
• The OLED display shows LASER and reports your speed.
NOTE: Unlike radar, signal strength from laser remains constant.
• A voice announces, “Laser” (this assumes the factory
default “Voice On” setting has not been changed).
• You will then hear a distinctive and urgent audio tone.

nect to the Platinum100 to combat police laser guns. Contact
