It means the radar is not in a constant-on-state, broadcasting all over the place. He puts it in a holding state and then releases it into a broadcast state with a trigger, i.e point and shoot. In order for you to detect the signal you have to effectively rely on others ahead of you getting targeted and the sensitivity of your detector. If you are alone and speeding, you are toast.

In my experience it is real rare to find someone using this approach and to be the only vehicle around. I have only been hit by this once in many years and it was 3am on a friday night. I wasnt speeding at the time because I knew it was typical trap spot (i.e blind hill).
