ThreatDisplay
Your STiR Plus’s ThreatDisplay option is an
advanced display for experienced detector
users. Please use the STiR Plus for a few
weeks to get familiar with its other
features before using this meter type.
To use the ThreatDisplay instead of
the standard bar-graph signal strength
meter, you must select ThreatDisplay in
the STiR Plus’s Settings (see pages 12-15).
The STiR Plus’s ThreatDisplay Display
simultaneously tracks multiple radar
signals and their relative signal strength.
This can help you spot a change in your
normal driving environment. For example,
a traffic radar unit being operated in an
area where there are normally other
signals present.
The ThreatDisplay Display is actually
a miniature spectrum analyzer. It shows
what band each signal is and its signal
strength.
Ka9 K2 X1
Above is the Threat Display if the
STi-R was detecting a strong Ka-band, a
weak K-band, and a weak X-band signal.
A few more examples will help you
better see how the Threat Display works.
K9 X1
Here Threat Display shows a strong
K-band signal, and a weak X-band signal.
Ka1 X9
Here Threat Display shows a weak
Ka-band signal, and a strong X-band
signal
Tech Display
The STiR Plus’s Tech Display option is for
the experienced detector user. In this
mode, the STiR Plus will display the actual
numeric
frequency of the radar signal being
received.
K 24.150
Tech Display shows one K-band
signal at 24.150 gigahertz.
Even long-time detector users will
require a significant amount of time to get
familiar with this new level of information
about detected signals.
Controls and Features
For Laser signals:
Since laser signals are a possible
threat no matter how weak, the STiR Plus
alerts you to these bands at full signal
strength.
For POP signals:
Since POP signals are extremely fast K
or Ka bursts, and a possible threat no
matter how weak, the STiR Plus alerts you
to these bands at full signal strength.
For Safety signals:
The STiR Plus will alert you to these
signals with a double-beep tone, and a
corresponding text message. A complete
listing of the text messages
is on page 25.
Marked Locations
The STiR Plus will alert you to marked
locations with a double-beep tone, and a
corresponding text message. A complete
list of mark location labels are on page 8.
Voice Alerts
The STiR Plus provides digital voice
announcements (factory default) for alerts,
feedback for button selections, and
Settings.
If you prefer, you can turn off the
voice feature in Settings. See the Settings
section for details.

Display Brightness
The STiR Plus’s display brightness is
automatically adjusted by a sensor located
behind the display lens. (factory default)
If you prefer, you can select one of the
following fixed levels of brightness
including Minimum, Medium, Maximum
or Full Dark by pressing the “BRT” button
located on the controller.
Signal Strength Meter
The STiR Plus’s standard bar-graph meter
only displays information on a single radar
signal. If there are multiple signals present,
the STiR Plus’s internal computer
determines which is the most important
threat to show on the bar-graph meter.
When the STiR Plus detects radar, it
displays the band (X, K, Ka), and a precise
bar-graph of the signal strength. When the
STiR Plus detects a laser signal, the display
will show “LASER.” When it detects a POP
signal, the display will show “POP.”
NOTE: If you are operating the
STiR Plus in the Dark mode, the
display will not display anything
when a signal is detected. However,
the back light on the Mute button,
located on the controller, will flash to
give you a visual alert
.
