Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert ® signals as standard K band radar. Your ESD-9050, however, is designed to differentiate between standard K band and Safety Alert ® signals, and give separate alerts for each. Safety Alert ® transmitters can be found in limited numbers in all 50 states, but the number is growing. Depending on your location, you may not receive these alerts regularly and may often encounter emergency vehicles, trains, and road hazards without being alerted. As the number of transmitters increases, these alerts will become more common. When you receive such an alert, please watch for emergency vehicles ahead of you, on cross streets, and behind you. If you see an emergency vehicle approaching, please pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass. LIDAR (laser) The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is actually LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging.
