Constant On (C/O)

This mode of operation is when the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) leaves his radar unit constantly transmitting. This allows the officer to just look at his radar unit’s display to see the speed of vehicles within range. This is the easiest operating mode to detect since the unit is constantly emitting a radar signal.

Instant On (I/O)

This mode of operation is when the LEO shoots his radar unit like a gun at vehicles when they are within range. Due to the fact that the radar unit is not always transmitting I/O is more difficult to detect than C/O. If you are the subject of an I/O shot by a LEO you will not have any time to slow down before the LEO acquires your speed. The best way to defend against this type of operation is to always use a “rabbit.” This is when you travel a safe distance behind another speeding vehicle so that if there is an officer shooting I/O they will hit your rabbit first and you will pick up the alert with enough time to slow down before you are the subject of the next shot.

Video Comparison

The following video shows the difference between how a radar detector alerts to C/O when the driver first encounters a K band drone (a sign that emits a constant K band signal) and I/O when the driver later encounters a LEO shooting I/O K band.
