The green window on the right side of the display shows the patrol vehicle’s speed in moving
mode and is unused (filled with dashes) in stationary mode. The speed displayed in this window
should always correspond with the vehicle’s speedometer. If a low voltage condition occurs, it
will be indicated in this window by “Lo” appearing in the window.
Doppler audio
The BEE III features a speaker on the front panel for Doppler audio. The BEE III's audio is
derived directly from the received Doppler signal (not synthesized) and is useful as an aid in
target identification. The loudness is proportional to the strength of the received signal and
increases as the target vehicle approaches. The pitch of the audio signal increases with higher
closing speeds. The Doppler audio always corresponds to the strongest target, even when the
radar is in fastest mode.
Display dimming and infrared remote sensor
A photocell is located on the display panel to automatically adjust the brightness of the display to
the ambient light conditions. An infrared sensor is also located on the display panel to receive
commands from the remote control.
Power button
This button controls the power for the BEE III radar. When the BEE III is turned off, the radar
remembers it’s user settings (volume level, mode, etc.), but it does not remember speeds and it
starts up in standby mode. When the unit is next turned on, it powers up using the same settings,
saving the user the trouble of resetting the radar to his or her desired settings.
