NOTE: Since the presence of even an extremely weak signal will keep SOLO on, turn SOLO off whenever you leave your car to prevent the batteries from being drained.
5 A UDIBLE A LERTS For Radar and Laser signals: SOLO uses a geiger- counter-like sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar or laser signal being encountered. When you encounter radar or laser, a distinct Audible Alert will sound and occur faster as the signal gets stronger.
C ONTROLS AND I NDICATORS 7 Battery Life Indication: Remaining battery life is displayed on the Signal Meter for 2 seconds both at power-up (after the five-second test alert) and at power-down. NOTE: Extreme temperature conditions can cause SOLO's Battery Life Indication to be inaccurate until SOLO's temperature returns to normal.
S OLO’s features are preset for optimum performance and battery life but you may change some settings to better suit your specific needs. Once a setting is stored into memory, it remains until you decide to reprogram it.

12 I NTERPRETING A LERTS A lthough SOLO 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 SOLO and how to interpret what it “tells” you.
I NTERPRETING A LERTS 13 A LERT E XPLANATION S OLO alerts intermittently. Rate and strength of alerts may be consistent or vary wildly. A patrol car is travelling 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.
H OW R ADAR W ORKS T raffic radar, which consists of microwaves, travels in straight lines and is easily reflected by objects such as cars, trucks, even guardrails and overpasses.
H OW S AFETY S IGNALS W ORK 15 alarms. Because LIDAR transmits a much narrower beam than does radar, it is much more accurate in its ability to distinguish between targets and is also more difficult to detect. AS A RESULT, EVEN THE BRIEFEST AND WEAKEST LASER ALERT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
