16 T echnical Details Interpreting Alerts Although the V955 has a comprehensive warning system and this handbook is as complete as we can make it, only experience will teach you what to expect from your V955 and how to interpret what it tells you.
17 Explanation You are approaching a radar unit concealed by a hill or an obstructed curve. A patrol car is traveling in front of you with a radar source aimed forward. Because signals are sometimes reflected off of large objects and sometimes not, the alerts may seem inconsistent.
18 T echnical Details How Radar W orks Traffic radar, which consists of microwaves, travels in straight lines and is easily reflected by objects such as cars, trucks, even guardrails and overpasses. Radar works by directing its microwave beam down the road.
19 How Laser (Lidar) W orks Laser speed detection is actually LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). LIDAR guns project a beam of invisible infrared light. The signal is a series of very short infrared light energy pulses, which move, in a straight line, reflecting off your car and returning to the gun.
20 T echnical Details How Safety Radar W orks Safety Warning System, or SWS, uses a modified K-band radar signal. The SWS safety radar system has 64 possible messages (60 currently allocated). The SWS messages your V955 can display are listed on the facing page.
