How SWS Works
There are two separate
Safety Radar systems in
limited use today: Safety Alert and Safety
Warning System (SWS). Both systems use
modified K-band radar signals.
From the factory, your STiR Plus is
programmed with safety radar decoding
OFF. If Safety Radar is used in your area,
your STiR Plus will display these signals as
K-band radar signals instead of safety radar
unless you use the Settings to turn STiR
Plus’s safety radar decoding ON.
The Safety Alert safety radar system
has three possible alerts:
• Safety Vehicle
• Road Hazard
• Train Nearby
The SWS safety radar system has 64
possible messages (60 currently allocated).
The SWS messages your STiR Plus can
display are listed on the facing page.
NOTE: Some of the safety
messages have been condensed, so
each message can be displayed on one
or two screens on STiR Plus’s eight
character display
.
Since Safety radar technology is
relatively new and the number of
transmitters in operation is not yet
widespread, you will not receive
Safety signals on a daily basis and should
not be surprised to encounter emergency
vehicles, road hazards and railroad
crossings that are unequipped with these
transmitters and, therefore, fail to provide
a signal. As Safety transmitters become
more prevalent (the number of operating
transmitters is growing every day), these
Safety radar signals will become more
common.
