The full line of XTR consumer line radar detectors were engineered to bring you all of the best features, and many you won't find in other radar detectors, for the lowest price possible. All of the XTR radar detectors come equipped with the following standard equipment:
3 City Modes/Highway Mode:
Highway mode provides full audio and visual warning of laser/radar systems while maintaining full sensitivity. Highway mode is the default setting of all Whistler's laser/radar detectors. City mode helps reduce the annoyance of automatic door openers and burglar alarm alerts by providing an initial alert (same distance as Highway Mode) then remaining quiet unless the signal strength becomes very strong. When the signal increases the unit will alert briefly to notify you of the change in signal strength.
Quiet/Auto Quiet Modes:
Pressing Quiet before a signal is detected engages Auto Quiet Mode, which automatically reduces the audio level after the initial warning to a low audio level setting. Pressing Quiet during a radar/laser encounter silences audio alerts, while allowing visual alerts to keep you informed.
Alert Priority:
When two or more signals are received at the same time, the alert priority is: Laser, VG-2, Speed Radar, Safety Radar.
Vehicle Battery Saver Mode:
The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatically shuts off your detector within 3 hours if you forget to turn it off. The timer is reset if the detector is turned off, unplugged or any button is pressed before the 6 hours have expired. The detector will alert you with an audible and visual warning before it shuts off.
Safety Warning System--SWS:
This relatively new radar is not for speed detection at all, it is used to keep you informed of highway safety. Transmitters are installed and programmed (for example: in emergency vehicles) to make you aware of possible situations that may require your attention, such as: ambulance vehicles that are moving or stationary, road hazards ahead, road construction delays or detours, etc.
VG-2 Detection Mode:
The VG-2, also known as a 'radar detector detector', is a special receiver used by police to detect signals radiated by a radar detector. The XTR-130 alerts you its presence, and thanks to Whistler's patented VG-2 cloaking technology provides undetectability.
