could not easily separate such targets from the reflections of stationary objects like the

windshield or hood ornament. Please keep this fact in mind, because the vehicle nearest you

may not be the target displayed by the BEE III if it's speed is within 3 mph of your patrol

speed.

The range of the BEE III is greatly reduced in same direction mode. This makes target

identification easier by reducing the number of potential targets.

POP

mode

This MPH exclusive feature utilizes the latest technology to stop speeders from buying their

way around the law with a radar detector. Using the POP mode, an officer can do quick,

accurate speed checks on traffic without alerting approaching vehicles. When a speeding

vehicle is detected, the radar can operate in the conventional mode allowing the officer to

check audio, tracking history and lock the target.

With a conventional radar, placing the radar into transmit activates the transmitter. This

allows the user to control the length of time the transmitter is on. The shortest practical time

the user can fire and read a speed is about ½ second. Most radar detectors easily recognize

this, not just alerting the target vehicle but every detector within a mile.

POP mode is turned on by pressing the Menu button three times, until a “P” appears in the

middle window. The operator must then press the “+” key to turn the mode on. The middle

speed window will display “POP”.

If POP mode is turned on, then a momentary press of the Front or Rear antenna button will

only turn the transmitter on for the time the radar needs to acquire a target. This is much

shorter than humanly possible. Radar detectors do not recognize this. If the detected speed

warrants more investigation, the user simply presses the corresponding antenna button down

again while the POP speed is displayed and the radar will commence normal operation.

“POP” will disappear from the middle speed window, and you can then monitor the target,

develop a tracking history, and lock in the vehicle’s speed. If the antenna button is not

pressed again, the transmission is limited to the single short pulse and does not alert speeders

down the road.

In order to lock in a speed, you must allow the radar to enter continuous transmit mode. Since

Doppler audio is not present during the POP pulse and not tracking history is produced, the

speed from the POP pulse cannot be locked in. This is done to prevent any legal concerns

regarding speeds locked in on the BEE III radar.

POP mode can be turned off in many ways. If you place the radar into continuous transmit

mode as described above, the radar will exit POP mode. You can also get out of POP mode

by hitting the Menu, Standby, Opposite, or Same buttons on the remote. When you exit Pop

mode, “POP” disappears from the Lock window.
