ANTI-FALSING CIRCUITRY RedLine 360c is designed to provide you the truest alerts and minimize the distraction of erroneous signals from fixed-position and moving sources. • Adjustable Sensitivity: allows driver to adjust sensitivity to driving environment, reducing false alarms from fixed position sources such as automatic door openers. Auto modes automatically adjusts sensitivity based on vehicle speed.
Display Color The display graphics can be changed to blue, green, red or orange to match the instrument lighting of your vehicle (factory default is red). Speed Display Turns Speed Display off or on (factory default is on). When Speed Display is off, the vehicle’s voltage is displayed. Cruise Alert While traveling below the set Cruise Alert speed, all alerts sound a short double-beep. The alert will fully sound when you exceed the Cruise Alert speed (factory default is 20 mph).
Standard FR1 The Standard FR1 meter mode (FR1 = Front and Rear signal strengths of 1 signal) displays the band of the highest priority threat along with a front and rear bar graph of its signal strength. The left bar graph shows the signal strength in front of the detector while the right bar graph shows the signal strength from the rear. If there are multiple alerts present, only the signal strength of the highest priority threat is displayed.
only the signal strength of the two highest priority threats are displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between the bar graphs is the total number of alerts that are being detected. Expert FR Expert FR meter mode (FR = Front and Rear signal strengths) simultaneously tracks up to four radar alerts displaying each alert’s band along with a bar graph of their front and rear signal strengths.
Alert Tones Standard The factory default Standard alert tones uses a Geiger counter-type sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar signal being encountered. When you encounter radar, a distinct audible alert will sound and will increase as the signal gets stronger. This allows you to judge the distance from the signal source without taking your eyes off of the road.
GPS Filter (TrueLock) RedLine 360c is equipped with a TrueLock GPS Filter to store and lock out, or ignore, fixed location false alerts in its memory. Common sources of fixed location false alerts are storefront automatic door openers and motion sensors. The TrueLock GPS Filter will not lock out moving false alerts that are commonly caused by vehicle’s blind spot monitoring and collision avoidance systems.
Marker Enables In the factory default setting, the suggested fixed location alerts are reported. It is highly recommended that you use your RedLine 360c in this mode. If you modify Marker Enables then this setting will show Modified and only the Markers that you have selected are reported. Marking Locations The MRK button allows you to mark a specific location and label it for future reference. Once marked, RedLine 360c will provide an alert when you reach this area again.
To Unmark A Location Touch the MRK button when you are receiving a marked-location alert. The display will read “Unmark?” Touch the MRK button again to confirm. The display will read “Unmarked!” Clear Locations At some point, you may wish to clear some of the data in RedLine 360c’s database. This may include any of the following: Defender Database data, Marked locations or false alert Lockouts. To clear all data in RedLine 360c’s database, select Format then press SEN to confirm.
UNDERSTANDING RADAR AND LASER RADAR SPEED MONITORING SYSTEMS Three band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment: X band 10.525 GHz K band 24.150 GHz Ka band 33.400 – 36.00 GHz LIDAR (LASER) The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is actually LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. LIDAR operates much like radar. Its signal spreads out like a radar signal, though not as widely.
