TARGET BLU EYE 2 LCD DISPLAY
Know what’s out there…
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Target Blu Eye 2. With Target Blu Eye, you will always be alerted well in advance of approaching emergency services, including ambulances, fire trucks, police, and unmarked surveillance vehicles, even when they are traveling at high speed without flashing lights or sirens.
Emergency services use so-called Tetra radio systems. Once the radio in an emergency vehicle is activated, it periodically sends ultra-short pulses to the antenna towers in the C2000 network. These pulses are detected by Target Blu Eye and converted into an alert signal.
As a result, Target Blu Eye significantly enhances your safety, the safety of emergency services, and the safety of your fellow road users.
DETECTION DISPLAY/SIGNAL STRENGTH METER
The display automatically starts in detection mode after the ignition is switched on. On the left side of the screen, the blue laser icon indicates the connection with LaserTrack.
VISUAL AND ACOUSTIC ALERTS FOR APPROACHING EMERGENCY SERVICES
When an emergency service approaches, you will receive the following alerts:
- The bars of the signal strength meter light up from green to red. Green (a weak signal) indicates a greater distance to the emergency service. Red (a strong signal) means the emergency service is in your immediate vicinity. The signal strength meters can display up to three different emergency services simultaneously, each with its own signal strength. It is possible that one vehicle emits two equally strong signals. This could
- An audible warning signal will also be heard.
| Communication Method | Acoustic Warning Signal Target Blu Eye | Explanatio |
| Periodic Registration | Short, repetitive, usually at 4-second intervals |
Emergency service vehicles periodically register with the nearest C2000 tower, even if the mobile phone/radio is not being used for communication. This periodic registration is recognized by Target Blu Eye. You will be alerted by a short, repetitive signal (usually every 4 seconds). |
| Communication and Data Messages | Repetitive Interval: Double Tone Within One Second |
When emergency services communicate with each other or with the control room, Target Blu Eye recognizes this. You will be alerted by a double tone within one second. This also applies when data messages are sent from the emergency service vehicle. |
MUTE
This suppresses the acoustic alarm.
TEMPORARY MUTE
Tap the screen once briefly to activate TEMPORARY MUTE: a short sound signal will be heard, and a diagonal white line will appear through the speaker icon.

CONTINUOUS MUTE
Tap the screen twice briefly to activate CONTINUOUS MUTE: two short sound signals will be heard, and a white cross will appear through the speaker icon.
The CONTINUOUS MUTE status remains activated for the entire journey. Tapping the screen again briefly or reactivating the ignition will disable CONTINUOUS MUTE.
