K40 Portable Radar and Laser Detector - Platinum 100
Platinum 100
Features
Features designed with you and your vehicle in mind. The Platinum100 gives you the ultimate in portable speeding ticket protection and puts you in control of where and when you hear police radar and laser alerts. With K40, you’re ready to drive right out of the box. The Platinum100 is pre-programmed for optimal protection for most drivers, with the ability to customize features to your exact driver preferences
Optional Wireless or Hardwired Remote Control – The Platinum100 is the first portable radar detector built with your safety in mind. You now have the option to control your Platinum100 with a remote control. You can purchase the Platinum100 with or without a hand-held remote control, or special order a hard-wired, back-lit, Expert remote control option and have your retailer custom install it into your vehicle.
The Latest Technology for Long Range Protection – The Platinum100 includes engineering enhancements that will inspire confidence to drive with the very best speeding ticket protection available today.
- New LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) radar receiver technology that increases range and sensitivity.
- A more powerful CPU for a more responsive system and greater customization options.
- USB is updateable for future expansion.
GPS Features – The Platinum100 offers you full customizable GPS technology features such as:
- Mark to Mute – Mute audible warnings of non-police radar locations you regularly travel past by pressing the MM button on your remote control
- Mark to Alert – Mark locations to alert such as dangerous intersections, speed traps, school zones, and red-light cameras by pressing the MA button on your remote control.
- Speed Monitor – Track your speed without taking your eyes off the road and be alerted if you exceed your selected speed.
- Quiet Ride – Mute all alerts under a pre-selected speed. Eliminates alerts when driving at or near the posted speed limit (default setting is 20 mph).
- Auto Filter – Sensitivity automatically adjusts to the optimum setting based on your vehicle’s speed. This “set it and forget it” options means you always have just the right amount of protection. Less sensitivity at lower speed means fewer false alerts, and increased sensitivity at higher speeds means more time to slow down.
Advanced filtering technologies built into K40 radar detectorsAdvanced Filtering – The Platinum100 is packed with advanced filtering technology to make it the quietest, most dependable radar and laser detector available today.
- K-Band Filter – Automatically rejects false alerts from radar-based safety features like Collision Avoidance and Lane departure Warning from other vehicles (including your own).
- Traffic Sensor Filter – Rejects alerts from traffic flow sensors usually encountered during highway driving.
- Ka-Band Filter – Enables filtration of non-police Ka-Band radar signals, e.g., other radar detectors and satellite broadcast bands.
Radar Band Selectivity – The Platinum100 offers you the option to choose specific band frequency ranges that you wish to be alert to. Make the drive even quieter by honing in on specific frequency ranges used only by a police officer’s radar gun.
- K-Band Narrow/Wide/Extended – This allows you to customize the frequency range of K-Band radar signals your system scans and alerts for.
- Ka-Band Narrow/Wide – This allows you to customize the frequency range of Ka-Band radar signals your system scans and alerts for.
Optional K40 Laser Defuser® Protection – Become invisible to police laser guns. The Platinum100 allows you to plug in your professionally installed Laser Defusers, so that audible and visual alerts appear on your Platinum100 display. Don’t just be alerted to police laser guns; combat them.
