Star Pro 10 [16/18] Operation of laser radar detector

1. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug.

2. Remove the fuse and check the fuse to see if it has blown. If it has, replace it.

OPERATION OF LASER/RADAR-DETECTOR

A. Power and Self-test

To turn the detector on, connect power and turn the On/Off volume control away from you until it clicks.

When powered up, the detector sounds a distinctive tone for each signal and flashes all LEDs in sequence

as a self-test.

Then all LEDs turn off except the power green LED.

B. Tutorial Mode

All STAR detectors have a tutorial mode. When the STAR is turned off, press and hold the “Mute” button

D. Operating Settings

1. City Operation

In modern cities there are many weak signals which have no relation to the traffic signal controllers. The

City mode reduces the detector's sensitivity to weak signals and eliminates responses to false sources.

It’s important to notice that old or poorly shielded detectors in other vehicles can sometimes transmit

weak radar signals. So don’t forget to switch on the City mode where it is necessary.

• To select the city mode, press CITY button. A yellow LED will blink.

• Press CITY button again to switch off this mode. Highway mode will turn on. Yellow button will stop

blinking.

The Highway mode when the CITY LED turned off provides maximum sensitivity for open road driving

E. Receiving and Identifying Radar and Laser Signals

When your detector identifies radar signals, the following will occur:

1. Distinctive audible alarms will be emitted for X-, Ku-, K-, and Ka-band radar signals. The alarm sounds

will occur faster and faster as the signal gets stronger (as you get closer to the source).

When the signal gets very strong, the alarm sounds become continuous tones.

2. The appropriate visual alarm indicator (yellow X/Ku or red K/Ka-bands) will flash in unison with the

audio tones.

When the pulses of laser light from a laser gun are detected by your detector

1. The audible alarm will emit a distinctive sound for laser.

2. The amber “L” indicator will flash and start blinking.

If the detector does not turn on:

• Check the power cord. Be sure all power connectors are properly installed.

• Check the fuse that controls power to the cigarette lighter socket. See your vehicles owner's manual

• The cigarette lighter socket might be dirty. Clean it with fine emery cloth to ensure a good, clean

connection.

• Vehicle electrical problem exists.

• Make sure that the volume control is in the ON position.
