WHISTLER XTR-185 SOLAR-ENHANCED, BATTERY-OPERATED RADAR/LASER DETECTOR

Detector turns itself off if it gets hit with a strong radar signal. Solar assist for battery charge seems non existent. I am throwing it away and buying something else

Avery practical product given that it operates as cordless and that the batteries can be charged through the car's cigarette lighter/current or through one's battery charger; also it becomes charged from its solar panel. It takes a while to learn what all the beeps and sounds that come out of it indicate. Also, there are no indications of when the batteries are charged in the enclosed instructions; only how to charge them. (I had to e-mail the manufacture to get this.)

I would have liked one that includes a compass (as did my previous detector), but these evidently are not manufactures any longer.
