Good morning all. New to radar detectors. I have a whistler CR 90. Manual that comes with it does not explain the way it reacts very much as to what the signals really mean. i.e. increasing numbers after the alert, door openers, traffic cams and so on. I have a general idea about them from watching what my son's detector did while he was here for a short visit recently. Is there a site that has this type of info.

Hello from NJ, ranger1, there are a lot of members here and on radar detector forum (RDF) that are very knowledgeable, I am just learning also. There's so much to read and most of it is worth the read. Good luck..enjoy.

Got the door openers down pat. Have a few cameras that it has detected. It has been really active since I have had it in operation. 4 days total. I pushed the on /off button for a little longer than normal at the Walmart the first day I had it. Now it alerts when I get within 350 feet of that spot. When I drive pass it, it says pass. It goes away. I THINK what I did was say there is a camera there i.e. marking it, but I don't really know. Been looking for a way to void it, but there is nothing in the very poor manual about it.

I checked BestRadarDetectors website but I see what you mean about the manual. Have you tried finding a video on YouTube about how to set-up the CR-90 ?

You can find some stuff on the CR90 & CR93 (very similar) right here on this Forum (sends you to VeilGuy's review) if you go to the "Whistler" Section threads"
