Stalker Patrol Quick Guide
Stationary Mode
ACI recommends testing the radar unit prior to use and after the last use
of the shift.
Select Stationary Mode by pressing the MOV/STA key on the remote control, then
select the desired antenna by pressing the ANT key. To transmit, press the
XMIT/HOLD key.
If a target is in range, such as one traveling 54 mph, the speed will appear
in the Target Window of the display unit.
Hold Mode can be selected by pressing the XMIT/HOLD key on the remote control. In Hold Mode, the XMIT icon will be off and no signal will be transmitted, preventing detection by radar detectors.
Opposite-Direction Moving Mode
Select Moving Mode by pressing the MOV/STA key on the remote control. The
Patrol Window will contain either the Patrol Speed or a [ ]. The [ ] indicates
Moving Mode but no ground speed.
Select Opposite-Direction Mode by pressing the SAME/OPP key until the OPP icon
is visible. To transmit, press the XMIT/HLD key. The speed of an approaching
target will appear in the Target Window and a Doppler audio tone will be
heard.
Hold Mode can be selected by pressing the XMIT/HOLD key on the remote control.
In Hold Mode, the XMIT icon will be off and no signal will be transmitted,
preventing detection by radar detectors.
Same-Direction Moving Mode
Select Moving Mode by pressing the MOV/STA key, then select Same-Direction
Mode by pressing the SAME/OPP key. This mode is active when the SAME icon is
visible. To transmit, press the XMIT/HLD key.
If a Same-Direction target is in the radar beam, its speed will appear in the Target Window and the difference speed audio will be heard from the speaker.
For targets slower than the patrol vehicle, the operator must press the SLOWER key on the remote control to obtain a proper target speed.
Audio Adjustment

Press the key once to adjust the Doppler audio. Then use the ▲ or ▼ keys to
adjust speaker volume through 10 levels. Maximum audio volume is indicated by
Aud 9 down to Aud 0 for off.
Beep Tones

Display Lighting
A single depression of the LIGHT key activates the keyboard backlight for 6
seconds. Two rapid depressions of the LIGHT key activate the display unit’s
brightness control, and additional depressions of the LIGHT key cycle the
display intensity through six levels of brightness, ranging from low (bri 1)
to high (bri 6).
