Remote Display Module
allows you to mount the visual alerts from your V1 radar detector in a discrete
and/or concealed
location. This will remove flashing visual alerts off the front of the
detector to a location of your
choosing, while the (normal) V1 front panel operates in dark mode.
FIELD EVALUATION REPORT BY SPEED MEASUREMENT LABORATORIES, INC.
Products Evaluated:
Valentine One Radar Detector.
Evaluation Methodology:
Radar and laser guns operated by certified police officers. Testing
conducted February-April 2000 in El Paso, TX, by Speed Measurement
Laboratories, Inc. (SML).
All radar and laser equipment
operated within the guidelines of the International Association of Chiefs of
Police per standard police practices.
Detectors provided by
manufacturer.
Radar guns used:
Stalker ATR 34.7 GHz, Kustom Signals Talon 35.5 GHz, Kustom Signals Falcon
24.150 GHz, Stalker Basic 2 4.150 GHz, MPH Industries 10.525. Laser guns
used: LT1 Ultra Lyte 200, 904 nanometers, Kustom Signals Pro Laser III, 904
nanometers, Stalker LZ-1, 904 nanometers. Normal police targeting with radar
is 1/4 mile. Normal laser targeting with laser is 1000 feet.
Note: At short laser
targeting ranges, the laser beam is extremely narrow and in many cases all
detectors will give no warning. Each detector was given two runs in each
evaluation category. SML not compensated for field testing Valentine
Research products. SML requested "top of the line" models for testing.
Evaluations conducted under ideal atmospheric, RF propagation conditions.
Your results may vary.
In the results below,
"instant on" testing was conducted with the test vehicle containing the
radar detector at 2,000 feet. "Instant on" is the manner in which the
officer triggers the radar gun on for approximately 1-2 seconds then turns
it off with no signal being emitted. "Yes" indicates the radar detector
detected this "instant on" signal.
All detectors have a series of
LEDs or text informing the driver of the signal strength of the incoming
radar gun signal. The higher the number displayed by the detector, the
stronger the reported incoming radar gun signal.
In the "signal strength" report
, the number reported is this signal strength. If "Full" is indicated in the
report, the individual detector immediately reported a maximum signal
strength report with accompanying full audio alert per the instruction
manual of the individual detector with no signal strength "ramp up" of the
alert reporting LEDs or audio.

The Valentine One uniquely
includes front and rear facing antennas. It is the only dash mounted
detector with such a feature. It is the only detector with a metal case
greatly reducing false alert potentials.
The V-1 gives scorching
performance on all radar bands and its directional arrows tell you where the
radar is. Rear reception range of all radar bands is exceptional. Laser
receiver is top notch.
The Valentine One gave advanced
warning to police radar guns six to eight times the normal targeting
distance of the radar guns, depending on the radar band.

Radar Over the Hill detection is superb. They may be hiding on the other side, the the Valentine One will detect their radar signals before you get to the top of the hill. Average radar detectors can not do this, so why take a chance on missing the hidden radar traps?
Delonix
Radar attended Speed Measurement Labs in June 2006 to verify best
performance in the products we offer, and to compare our performance
against other products claiming to be the best. The above image
shows testing for RDD detection at Speed Labs in El Paso, Texas.
The V1 Package
includes everything you need in the one package. And the
Valentine One can be upgraded when future features and performance
is introduced.

for false alert reduction
As you drive down the
highway, you need to be able to isolate false noise alerts. The logic modes
allow you to set the level of noise filtering you need.
Metal
titanium case / made to military specifications
Not only does the case look outstanding, but it also helps to reduce detection by radar detector
detectors, RDD, which is used by police trying to find who is driving with a
radar detector.
Front and
rear facing detection antennas
Valentine1 is the only
radar detector detecting to the front at 16
kilometres, and detecting to the rear at
almost five kilometres, no other radar detector has this front/rear capability.

a direct hard-wire kit or coiled cigarette lighter power cord, both included
with your V1.
INSTALLATION
The Valentine One is sleek in
design and easily installs on the windshield, plugging into the 12Vdc outlet
in the vehicle, attaching to the windshield via a suction cup attachment.
It can quickly disconnect from the windscreen and slide into your jacket
pocket when you wish to remove it from the vehicle. The built-in self-test
function guarantees reliable and complete protection every time you switch
on the Valentine One radar detector, as it tests each mode of operation.
The
Valentine One Remote is designed for
hidden installations under the bumper of your vehicle, just like the Bel RX75
therefore, you may wish to have a professional auto electrician / car stereo installation shop
install your V1 Remote
.
For Western Australian customers, we recommend

How to program your Valentine best
for Western Australia:
V1 programming for - If you wish to change modes of
operation, start with table above.
This section allows you to program your V1 to reject
K-band radar signals until they reach a certain signal strength, or
occur for a preset amount of time. Very useful for silencing those
false alarms caused by automatic door openers & petrol stations.
This last page allows you to finalize the K-band muting,
as well as turning on/off Ka narrow band & Ku band in Europe.
I. How to enter the Valentine On and V1 Remote Programming
Mode.
Starting with
the Control Knob in the "off" position, Press and hold-in Knob and at
the same time turn the Knob “on;” continue holding in the Knob until all
front-panel lights are on (takes about 5 seconds).
Release the
Control Knob.
II. How to determine your software version.
Press and
immediately release the Control Knob to display software version. The
software-version number is four digits that display one digit at a time
in the Bogey Counter-example: 2.869.
Note your
software number, then see the table below for features that are
programmable in your unit.
Press and
immediately release the Control Knob to exit software-version display.
III. How to program your desired features.
The feature
character is indicated in the "Bogey Counter" (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
A, b, C, d, E, F, G, H, J, or u).
To select the
next Feature Character in the sequence, press and immediately release
the Control Knob.
The Feature
State is indicated by direction arrows on the Radar Locator.
The Feature
State is changed by pressing and holding the Control Knob until the
arrow switches to the opposite direction (takes about 3 seconds).
NOTE: If you need to return to an earlier Character in the sequence
above, we recommend you switch off the power momentarily, then restart
at step I above.
IV. How to exit the Programming Mode.
Switch power
off, or unplug. The changes you programmed will be retained in memory.
V. How to tell if V1 has been changed from factory settings.
If the unit
has been changed, P will appear briefly in the Bogey Counter soon after
V1 is switched on (after the lamps-on test, but before the Mode
indicator appears.)
On V1s with
serial numbers ending in 0600 or higher, a flashing red LED just to the
right of the Bogey Counter during the sequence above indicates that Ku
coverage has been activated.
