Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert ® signals as standard K band radar. Your ESD-9050, however, is designed to differentiate between standard K band and Safety Alert ® signals, and give separate alerts for each. Safety Alert ® technology is relatively new. Safety Alert ® transmitters can be found in limited numbers in all 50 states, but the number is growing. Depending on your location, you may not receive these alerts regularly and may often encounter emergency vehicles, trains, and road hazards without being alerted. As the number of transmitters increases, these alerts will become more common. When you receive such an alert, please watch for emergency vehicles ahead of you, on cross streets, and behind you.
