[. . . ] So I've worked extra hard to make Valentine One logical. It's far easier to operate than many ordinary detectors, yet it tells you far more about radar. Front Antenna, Radar and Laser Needs unobstructed view ahead Rear Laser Sensor Needs unobstructed view behind Computer Modes: A new way to interpret alarms In the All-Bogeys® ( ) mode, all bogeys will be reported as soon as they are detected. Use your judgment to decide whether or not they are threats. In the Logic® ( ) and Advanced-Logic® ( ) modes, you are deferring to the internal computer which will use its own logic to screen bogeys before reporting them to you. In Logic, X-band bogeys the computer judges to be non-threatening will be reported at the "muted" volume. If they become threatening, the audio warning will upgrade to the "initial" volume before you are within radar range. In Advanced-Logic, X-band bogeys that the computer has reason to believe aren't radar will not be reported at all. One exception: To be failsafe, the computer will always pass extremely strong signals along for your judgment. This mode is particularly useful in metro areas. The computer is smart: It never operates the receiving circuits at less than maximum sensitivity and it knows that Instant-on is a greater threat than ordinary radar. So it will always warn you immediately at the "initial" volume when those radars are detected, no matter what mode you've selected. To change modes, press and hold the Control Knob for one second. Modular Jack Speaker A New Way to Set Loudness Valentine One has two controls for loudness so you can take complete control of sound. The Control Knob sets what I call "initial" volume. This is the loudness you will normally hear on initial radar contact. Once you're aware of the threat, you can drop to a quieter, reminder sound which I call "muted" volume. This muted volume is adjusted by the lever behind the knob. The choice is yours. Control Knob On Volume Off Mute Modes Brightness ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ Turn clockwise Turn to adjust Turn counter-clockwise past detent Press during radar alert Press and hold to change Automatically matched to ambient lighting; no manual adjustment (Unit powers up in the last mode selected) Rear Antenna Needs unobstructed view behind Push To Mute During any alert, press the Control Knob. Audio volume will drop to the muted level. Radar Locator What Long-Gradient audio does for you Valentine One's audio warning indicates radar strength. It gives a very slow Beep for X band (Brap for K band, Brap-brap for Ka band) when it encounters weak radar, then quickens as radar strength increases, and becomes a continuous tone about the time you're in range. This long gradient, from slow Beep to continuous tone, makes it easy to estimate radar proximity, which is very important during brief Instant-on encounters. In the case of multiple bogeys, the audio warning will always monitor the greatest threat. Control Lever Sets volume after mute takes place; clockwise is louder. Full clockwise makes muted volume same as initial volume Radar ahead Radar to the side Radar behind Radar-strength Indicator More LEDs glow as radar gets stronger Bogey Counter blank ­ power off ­ power on, All-Bogeys® mode ­ power on, Logic ® mode ­ power on, Advanced-Logic ® mode ­ one bogey etc. [. . . ] In no event shall Valentine Research, Inc.
