Radar detectors now come equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth provides you with more advanced warnings of nearby police vehicles and mobile speed cameras. The job of this device is to alert you when any of these are in its presence. Since most Bluetooth detectors fit in the palm of your hand, installation is not necessary. It pairs with your mobile phone or navigation system to give you these updates. You will find that it is simple to use your Bluetooth radar detector. As always, consult your user manual since most models run differently.
Instructions
1. Press the "Bluetooth" button on your mobile phone or navigation system. Select your radar detector from the list of Bluetooth devices. Press the "Sync" button to pair your device with your detector. If using a mobile phone, enter the PIN number. The default number is "0000" for most phones.
2. Choose the "City" or "Highway" option. In the "Highway" mode, it will alert you of any radars that it senses. In the "City" mode, the amount of alerts reduces since there are more active radars in a city than on a highway.
3. Listen for the radar to detect X, K and Ka bands. K bands are mostly associated with modern Bluetooth radar detectors. The closer the radar is, the faster your detector will beep. Some detectors can sense up to 12 different bands.
4. Press the "Mute" button. This allows you to turn off the sounds so you can drive in silence. Whenever you want the alerts again, just press the "Mute" button.
5. Listen for alerts about traffic problems ahead. You will receive a message warning of an accident or road construction ahead.
