Product Description
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.

Whistler radar detector,
This review is from: Whistler DE1788 Cordless Radar/Laser Detector with Tri-Directional Text Display (Electronics)
I purchased this unit a few months ago and I am happy with it. The windshield clip is pretty lame and I do not like the way it blocks part of the view out my windshield. I went to whistlers web site and ordered a non-skid pad to set the unit directly on the dashboard. My dashboard is flat and it sits well on there and does not slide around. Until I got that pad, I was not real happy with the mounting options. You could do the same thing with two way tape, or Velcro - but it would be hard to remove the unit and put the unit in the glove box when the car is parked.I wanted a cordless unit so I don't have the power cable hanging across the dashboard. I like the rechargeable feature, if the batteries go dead while I am driving, I just plug in the adapter and I can still use the unit while it is charging.

Battery Powered Whistler Review,
This review is from: Whistler DE1788 Cordless Radar/Laser Detector with Tri-Directional Text Display (Electronics)
I am very pleased with my portable radar detector. I love the option to transfer from one car to another, and the battery life is pretty good; best to bring it inside when it's really cold though. After doing research on all the available units, I'm very pleased with my purchase! And the price was well below the competition!
