Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you commute to work or school on the freeway, drive for a living, or just like to go on an occasional recreational trip, the Whistler DE-1788 Wireless Battery-Powered Radar/Laser Detector is an invaluable addition to your motor vehicle. Designed with an internal battery pack and equipped with four rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) AA batteries, the DE-1788 gives you the option of packing away the power cord included with purchase so that you can go wireless.

The DE-1788 gives you 360-degree protection from a full range of detection signals, including X, K, Ka, and safety band radar, as well as laser and VG-2 detector detection. In addition, the DE-1788 is specially equipped to detect the rapid bursts of POP mode radar, which last less that 1/15 of a second and are undetectable by non-POP-equipped detectors.

Lightweight and compact, the DE-1788 comes with a windshield mount to let you position your detector for easy visual access to the blue-background LCD text display. And to limit false alerts, the DE-1788 gives you a choice of three different detection modes, letting you avoid the annoyance of repeated automatic door opener and burglar alarm warnings when you're driving in the city, but letting you know if signal strength becomes strong.

So with the Whistler DE-1788 Radar/Laser Detector in your car or truck, you'll be prepared for just about anything when you're behind the wheel.

Note: Radar detectors can be used without restriction in well over 40 states, but restrictions apply in a few states. Please check with your state department of motor vehicles or highway patrol if you have questions about whether there are restrictions in your area.

What's in the Box
DE-1788 radar detector, windshield bracket, straight power cord, 4 AA NiMH rechargeable batteries, home plug-in battery charger, and owner's manual.

3 out of 5 stars Poor manuals.   July 5, 2010
Jim
The manual that came with the home charger said the led lights would turn green when fully charged. I charged the batteries overnight as the manual said, but the led lights never turned green. They stayed red the entire time. I used the the radar detector, thus discharging the batteries. I recharged them using the home charger that came with the detector, and once again the leds did not turn green. After about 30 hours of charging the red leds went out, & the charger was cool to the touch. I am hoping the charger shut off. I have no way of knowing until the next time I have to recharge the batteries.

The detector itself works fine. I find it difficult to read the text during day time hours, because the back light is not bright enough. the manual said there isn't any special tone or text for spot radar. However, it said spot several times. I don't have a clue what spot radar is, but rest assured I will be researching it in the near future.

Overall, I think my old Whistler is much better. However, it is not cordless, making it difficult to swap it between my personal vehicle and work vehicle.

The unit is pretty good...I bought the visor clip from Whistler..Made for this unit..Bought a 12volt DC wall converter from Amazon 10.00...The good one...You plug in the cig plug of the RD and you have a home charger....No need to plug in RD...I also bought a 4 pack of good batteries...2500 mAH or better...It has batteries but I hear they are not very good...Rayovac has a good set....Read reviews...Yes RD's are legal in most areas..BETTER to keep under wraps....Most of all ...Don't speed...For me it's a warning system.....Check out trapster....

I thought this was one with voice. It wasn't. I tried to return it to ANTOnline, but they would not take return because I had to cut the packaging it was in to get it out. How are you suppose to get it out of the packaging wihtout cutting the plastic? I am really dissappointed with the seller of this item. PLEASE don't order from them if you aren't going to keep it because if you can't find a way to get it out of the plastic, they will not give you a refund!!!!!
