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.

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.
