When you encounter radar, a distinct audible alert will sound and occur faster as the signal gets stronger. This allows you to judge the distance from the signal source without taking your eyes from the road. Each band has a distinct tone for easy identification.

v995 manual-neltronics_310107.qxp 15/02/2007 2:59 PM Page 23 Technical Details How Radar Works Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as radar, your XR70 will occasionally receive non-police radar signals. Since these transmitters are usually contained inside of a building, or aimed toward the ground, they will generally produce much weaker readings than will a true radar encounter.
v995 manual-neltronics_310107.qxp 15/02/2007 2:59 PM Page 25 Technical Details How Safety Radar Works 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. Do not be surprised if you encounter emergency vehicles, road hazards and railroad crossings that are unequipped with these transmitters.
