INTRODUCTION
Dear Whistler Owner,
For many of us, a vehicle is more than just transportation. It can
be a mobile office, communications or entertainment center,
or simply an expression of our personality. Whistler products
are designed to make the time you spend in your vehicle more
productive, more fulfilling, safer, or just simply more fun. Our
mission is to provide products that improve your driving expe-
rience.
Your new Whistler laser/radar detector detects all radar, laser
and safety radar systems.
To fully acquaint yourself with the operation of the Whistler
laser/radar detector and to better understand the differences
between detecting radar, laser and safety radar signals, we rec-
ommend reading this entire manual or visit our FAQ page on
our website www.

Enjoy your Whistler and please drive safely.
Sincerely,
The Whistler Group, Inc.
