Laser will trigger 3 distinct audible signals;one each for LTI 20-20, Ultra Lyte and ProLaser. Safety Alert and Strobe Alert ha ve their own unique "European Emergency" signal. An emergency vehicle is approaching, you are in the vicinity of a railroad crossing, or you are approaching a road hazard (construction site, accident scene, etc. ). Detection Facts About the Safety Alert® Traffic Warning System FCC-approved Safety Alert Transmitters emit microwave radar signals to indic ate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the frequency of these signals, as set on the transmitter, the outgoing signal can indicate whether the transmitter is on a speeding emergency vehicle or train, or at a stationary road hazard location. These microwave signals are located in the K-band and as a result, any radar detector which detects K-band radar will detect these Safety signals as standard K-band radar alerts. However, unlike a standard radar detector, your Cobra ESD-9150 is designed to differentiate between a standard K-band alert and a Safety Alert warning. Safety technology is relatively new so the number of transmitters in operation is still growing. You may not receive Safety Alert on a daily basis and should not be surprised to encounter some emergency vehicles, road hazards or trains not yet equipped with these transmitters, therefore failing to provide a signal. As Safety Transmitters become more prevalent (the number of operating transmitters is growing every day), these Safety Alerts will become more common. The Safety Alert Transmitter is in use in all 50 states in limited quantities. Facts About Safety Alert® Traffic Warning System Note Strobe AlertTM is available in over 1, 000 cities and works with Tomar and Opticom systems. Call your local Fire/Police department for your area coverage or area in which you will be traveling. Facts About Strobe AlertTM Alerts motorists to over 50, 000 emergency vehicles equipped with strobe transmitters that activate red lights at traffic intersections in emergency high speed situations. 18 19 Detection Radar Frequencies Radar Frequencies There are now three frequencies that have been approved by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) for use in speed monitoring equipment.
