INTRODUCTION

• Thank you for choosing Target Blu Eye 2. With Target Blu Eye, you will always be alerted in plenty of time for approaching emergency services such as ambulances, fire brigades, police and unmarked surveillance vehicles. Even when they are travelling at high speed and without siren and flashing lights.
• The emergency services use what is known as Tetra radio systems. As soon as the radio in an emergency vehicle is switched on, it periodically transmits ultra-short pulses to antenna masts in the network. These pulses are detected by Target Blu Eye and converted into an alert signal.
• As a result, Target Blu Eye makes an important contribution to your safety, the safety of the emergency services and the safety of your fellow road users.
