INTRODUCTION

Dear Whistler Owner,

For many of us, a vehicle is more than just transportation. It

can be a mobile office, communications or entertainment

center, or simply an expression of our personality. Whistler

products are designed to make the time you spend in your

vehicle more productive, more fullfilling, safer, or just simply

more fun. Our mission is to provide products that improve

your driving experience.

Your new Whistler 1605 radar detector detects all radar and

safety radar systems. Your Whistler detector includes many

preferred features. It offers dectection of the new Safety

Warning System™ technology. This provides advanced

warning of various highway hazards in communities where

available, enabling you to respond more appropriately to

potentially dangerous conditions.

To fully acquaint yourself with the operation of the Whistler

1605 we recommend reading this entire manual.

Enjoy the Whistler 1605 and please drive safely.

Sincerely,

THE WHISTLER GROUP

INSTALLATION

Mounting Guidelines

•Mount the unit as low as possible near the center of the

windshield.

•Do not mount your unit behind wipers, ornaments, mir-

rored sunscreens, etc. These obstructions have metal sur-

faces which can affect radar signals and reduce critical warn-

ing time. (Regular tinted glass does not affect reception.)

•Some newer windshields have an Instaclear™or

Electriclear™ type coating, which affect radar signals.

Consult your dealer or the owner’s manual supplied with

your vehicle to determine if your windshield has this coating.

•Avoid placing unit in direct contact with windshield.

•To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your unit when

not in use.

Windshield Mounting

•Install the two suction cups and rubber bumper onto the

bracket by fitting them into their holes.

•Press the suction cups onto the windshield at the location

you have chosen. IMPORTANT: Some newer cars have a

plastic safety coating on the inside of the windshield. The

windshield bracket may leave permanent marks on this

type of surface. To find out if your vehicle has this type of

windshield, check the owner’s manual or ask your dealer.

We recommend that you do not leave the suction cup

bracket on the window in direct sunlight. If the detector

is removed, this may cause blistering of the dash in some

vehicles.

•Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into place.

• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending the wind-

shield bracket. Press the bracket release button and remove

the detector before bending.

Dash Mounting

•Make sure the mounting location you have chosen is

relatively level and is clean and dry. Clean with isopropyl

alcohol if necessary to remove any waxes or polishes.

•Separate the fastener strips. Peel the paper backing off

each strip and adhere one piece to the dash and the other

piece to the bottom of the unit, taking care not to cover

the serial number.

Be careful not to place the fastener strip over the unit’s serial number. If the

fastener strip is removed, the serial number may be pulled off the unit. Units

without serial numbers are not covered under warranty.

INSTALLATION

Visor Mounting (optional accessory)

• Slide the visor bracket into the bracket mounting slot.

• Clip the visor bracket onto the visor making sure it is

relatively level and has a clear view of the road.

Power Connection

• Plug the small end of the power cord into the unit’s power

jack.

• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter.

Fuse Replacement

The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable 2

amp 3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To replace the

fuse, carefully unscrew the tip of the plug. (IMPORTANT:

Unscrew slowly. The tip contains a spring which may fly out

when disassembling.) Insert the new fuse with the spring and

screw on the tip. With use, screw cap on plug may loosen.

Retighten occasionally.

Unscrew the tip of the lighter socket plug carefully when replacing the 2 amp

fuse.

Insert into bracket mounting slot. Do not bend this

section of bracket.

Power On And Self-Test

Each time your Whistler detector is turned on, an auto-

matic self-test sequence confirms that the speaker and

visual displays are functional.

During Power Up, all the LEDs illuminate, while the X, K,

and Ka alerts are sounded in sequence.

After the alert the 1st and 3rd alert LEDs flash and the

Safety Radar alert is sounded. At the end of the self-test

sequence the unit is in the highway mode.

Feature Engaged Confirmation

Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms feature

“on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.

The audio alerts are continuous, but have a Geiger counter-

like pattern to help you determine your distance from the

radar source; the faster the beeping, the closer you are to the

transmitting source.

At the same time, illumination of multiple LEDs indicates rel-

ative signal strength.
