If you have questions concerning the  
operation of this Whistler product  
please call:  
With the change in time also comes change in technology.  
Radar gun manufacturers have stepped up to the plate.  
The new arsenal they carry is called POPMode. This new  
gun is a normal K or Ka band radar gun detectable by  
most radar detectors made in the past 30 years, unless  
the gun is placed in POPMode. POPMode is a feature  
on some newer radar guns operating on K and Ka bands.  
When the gun is in POPMode and activated, a brief burst  
of energy, less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and  
the vehicles speed is quickly acquired. A detector without  
POPMode detection capability cannot respond to this  
brief transmission. This detector has the power to report  
this new gun where other detectors cannot! - until now!  
Whistler introduces the 1758 and 1773 with POP™  
Mode detection! These units are the beginning in total  
protection. With POPMode detection, these units can  
react fast enough to detect this new technology. Packed  
with power you still have a full featured radar detector:

OPERATION  
Auto Quiet Mode  
City/City 1/City 2 Mode (Cont.)  
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signal give an  
initial alarm of two beeps, and then remains quiet  
unless the signal becomes very strong. When the  
signal strength increases, two additional beeps are  
provided.  
Power On and Self-Test  
Auto Quiet reduces the selected audio level to level  
(1) approximately 5 seconds after a radar or safety  
radar signal is detected. The alert for any new signal  
within 20 seconds will resume at level (1). Auto Quiet  
does not affect VG-2 or laser alerts.  
Each time your Whistler detector is turned on, an  
automatic self-test sequence confirms that the  
speaker and visual displays are functional.  
• Press Power. Display reads (1773 only) in order:  
1. WHISTLER 2. X-band 3. K-band 4. Ka-band  
6. SR ON 7. VG2 OFF 8. B SVR ON  
10. HWY  
• Display indicators will light in same order for 1758.  
City 1 and CIty 2 Modes operate the same as Highway  
Mode, but in City 1 Mode, only the X band sensitivity  
is lowered. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected.

cancel Auto Quiet mode.  
Setting Saver  
CAUTION: Some towns/small cities may still be using  
X band radar. If Auto Quiet is engaged in City 1 or  
City 2 modes and the unit receives a strong radar signal,  
the unit performs the Auto Quiet feature. City Modes  
do not change the audio alert for laser or VG-2.  
Setting Saver saves your personalized settings so  
that when the detector is turned off and then on  
again, you do not have to re-enter them.  
Quiet Mode  
Feature Engaged Confirmation  
Quiet cancels audio during an alert and any new alert  
within 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, approximately  
2 beeps are provided on any new alert and unit then  
remains quiet.  
Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms  
feature “on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.  
Highway Mode  
Highway mode provides full audio warnings any time  
radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser signals are  
detected, and is recommended for open road driving.  
Audio Level Adjustment  
The audio levels can be adjusted high to low or low  
to high.  
• Press Quiet to cancel the audio.  
• Press Quiet a second time during an alert to restore  
the standard audio alert pattern; or turn the unit

When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is  
sounded. After 3 seconds the audio is cancelled and  
the VG-2 indicator flashes at a slower rate. This cycle  
is repeated if the VG-2 signal is again detected.  
During the period a VG-2 signal is detected, a radar  
signal cannot be detected. However, because the VG-2  
alert has confirmed that a patrol car is nearby, you are  
already aware of the potential for speed monitoring  
and can adjust your speed accordingly. Laser detection  
is not affected while a VG-2 signal is detected.

POPMode Alerts  
VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts  
All user features can be reset to factory settings.  
Because POPMode travels on regular radar bandwidth,  
there is no particular alert for POPMode transmissions.  
POPMode alerts will be displayed as a regular radar alert.  
NOTE: You must turn this feature on before it will  
detect VG-2.  
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector ‘hides’ its own  
radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2.  
Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal.  
If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues to  
hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is detected,  
two beeps are provided, indicating an ‘all clear’ condition.  
During VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot  
be received (Reference page 19 for VG-2 information).  
• Unplug Power Cord from unit.  
• Press and hold Power and Quiet.  
• Plug Power Cord into unit.  
• Wait for 2 beeps.  
• Release Power and Quiet buttons.

Pulse Protection  
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to detect  
than conventional radar because it remains ‘off’ until  
activated to measure the speed of a targeted vehicle.  
When a pulse type transmission is detected, your Whistler  
detector sounds an urgent 3-second audio warning  
and the display shows:  
After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert pattern  
continues for as long as the signal is present.  
It is important to respond promptly to a pulse alert,  
since warning time may be minimal.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
FCC INFORMATION  
SPEED MONITORING  
Your Whistler detector is expertly engineered and  
designed to exacting quality standards to provide  
you with reliable, trouble-free operation. If your unit  
has been correctly installed following the guidelines  
in this manual, but is not operating optimally, please  
refer to the troubleshooting guide below.  
FCC ID HSXWH11 - 1758, 1773  
Care And Maintenance  
Radar Facts  
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  
(1) This device many not cause harmful interference, and  
(2) this device must accept any interference received,  
including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
During the summer months, avoid prolonged exposure  
to direct sunlight by removing your unit from the dash  
when your vehicle is parked for an extended period of  
time. Do not spray water, cleaners, or polishes directly  
onto the unit. The spray may penetrate through the  
openings and damage the unit. Also, do not use any  
abrasive cleaners on the units exterior.  
A radar gun operates by transmitting radio waves at  
certain frequencies which reflect off objects and are  
then picked up by the radar guns receiving section.  
When a radar beam reflects off a moving target, a  
measurable frequency shift occurs. The radar unit converts  
this shift into miles per hour to determine your vehicles  
speed. Currently, the FCC (Federal Communications  
Commission) permits operation of traffic radar guns  
at X Band (10.500 - 10.550 GHz), K Band (24.050 -  
24.250 GHz), and Ka Band (33.400 - 36.000 GHz).  
PROBLEM: No display or audio.  
IMPORTANT  
Check fuse in Whistler plug; replace if necessary with a 2  
amp 3AG type.  
FCC requirements state that changes or modifications  
not expressly approved by Whistler could void the  
users authority to operate the equipment.  
Check fuse for lighter socket; replace if necessary.  
Make sure lighter socket is clean.  
ARE DETECTORS LEGAL?  
PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits bumps.  
Note: A radar detector will not alarm if an officer is  
not transmitting on any one of the above radar bands.  
Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean.  
Check connections at both ends of power cord. Substitute  
another cord to determine if cord is defective. Return  
defective cord to the factory.  
In Most States YES!  
SPEED MONITORING  
Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state (with  
the exception of Virginia and Washington, D.C., which  
have local regulations restricting the use of radar  
receivers in any vehicle) when used in automobiles or  
light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.).  
Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2)  
POP™ Mode  
PROBLEM: Unit alarms when using vehicle electrical  
accessories (brakes, power mirrors, power  
windows, turn signals, horn, etc.).  
POPMode is a feature on some newer radar guns  
operating on K and Ka bands. When the gun is in  
POPMode and activated, a brief burst of energy,  
less that 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and the  
vehicles speed is quickly acquired. A detector without  
POPMode detection capability cannot respond to  
this brief transmission. This detector has the power  
to report this new gun where other detectors cannot!  
The Interceptor VG-2, or simply VG-2, is a microwave  
receiver used by police to detect signals radiated by  
the local oscillator of a radar detector. Because its  
purpose is to identify persons driving with radar detectors,  
the VG-2 is known as a ‘radar detector detector’.  
Concerning trucks over 10,000 lbs., the Federal  
Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a regulation,  
effective January, 1994 which prohibits radar and laser  
detector use in these types of vehicles nationally. Prior  
to the FHWA regulation, laws existed in the state of  
New York restricting the use of radar detectors in trucks  
over 18,000 lbs. and in Illinois in trucks over 26,000 lbs.  
Vehicles electrical system, including battery and alternator, may  
have electrical noise. Install a filter capacitor (470mfd. 25 volt  
or larger capacitance value) on the back of the lighter socket.  
The VG-2 is the primary tool used by the police to  
identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If caught,  
in a state where detectors are illegal, (see page 18),  
drivers risk losing their radar detector and receiving a  
fine. In addition, instant-on radar is almost always used  
in combination with a VG-2, leaving unsuspecting motorists  
vulnerable to receiving two tickets - one potentially  
for speeding, the other for possession of a detector.  
PROBLEM: Unit gives laser alert when accelerating.  
Possible bad or low quality distributor cap. Replace with  
high quality cap.  
Total Band Protection™  
PROBLEM: Audio alerts are not loud enough.  
Complete Band Coverage that detects laser, radar,  
VG-2 and safety radar bands.  
Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.  
Check audio level setting (see page 7 & 8).

SPEED MONITORING  
Laser Facts  
SPEED MONITORING  
Laser Tips  
WARRANTY INFORMATION  
Service Under Warranty  
If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often  
determine your speed within a few seconds after you  
receive an alert. In this situation there is generally no  
time to safely adjust your speed. However, if you are  
traveling near or behind the targeted vehicle and  
receive an alert, response time should be sufficient.  
Any laser alert, regardless of duration, requires  
immediate action!  
During the warranty period, defective units will be  
repaired without charge to the purchaser when returned  
with a dated store receipt to the address below. Units  
returned without dated store receipt will be handled  
as described in section “Service Out Of Warranty.”  
Due to the specialized equipment necessary for testing  
a Laser-Radar receiver, there are no authorized service  
stations for Whistler brand detectors other than Whistler.  
Its well documented that many radar guns cannot  
reliably provide the speed of a targeted vehicle that  
is traveling in a group of vehicles. In contrast, a laser  
gun can target a specific vehicle out of a line of traffic  
and determine its speed. The advantage of laser  
over radar in terms of target identification is the result  
of the laser guns narrow beam. A radar transmission  
can cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance  
of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser transmission  
which covers about 3 feet at the same distance. For  
best protection, keep these points in mind:  
Other Speed Detection Systems  
When returning a unit for service under warranty,  
please follow these instructions:  
Several techniques other than radar or laser are used  
to measure vehicle speeds. When these methods  
are being used, no detector can provide a warning.  
These techniques include:  
1. Ship the unit in the original carton or in a suitable  
sturdy equivalent, fully insured, with return  
receipt requested to:  
• Because you vehicles license plate or headlights  
are the laser guns primary targets, mounting your  
Whistler detector on the dashboard can improve  
laser detection at short range.  
• Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you cannot  
see through. If you can’t see past a vehicle ahead  
of you, chances are your detector won’t either.  
• The receiving range of your laser detector will not  
be the same as a radar detector. Laser guns are  
most often used at short range.  
• Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and matches  
your driving speed.  
• Vascar/Aircraft - The time it takes a vehicle to travel  
a known distance is measured.
