The middle speed window is yellow and performs two functions; an icon located directly below the
window indicates each function. If the window is being used to display a locked target speed, a T-
lock icon is lit. Only the speed of the strongest target can be locked. If the middle window is being
used to display the speed of the fastest vehicle (fastest mode), a FAST icon is lighted. General
error conditions (Err) are also indicated in this window.
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.
