Engaging/Disengaging VG-2
XTR-520: See option select mode to turn this
feature on.
XTR-220: Press and hold the quiet button. The
unit beeps once for VG-2 on, twice for off. The
“V” icon will illuminate when engaged.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is
sounded. After 3 seconds, the audio is cancelled
and the VG-2 indicator flashes at a slower rate.
This cycle is repeated if the VG-2 signal is again
detected.
During the period a VG-2 signal is detected, a
radar signal cannot be detected. However,
because the VG-2 alert has confirmed that a
patrol car is nearby, you are already aware of the
potential for speed monitoring and can adjust
your speed accordingly. Laser detection is not
affected while a VG-2 signal is detected.

During this warning you can reset the unit by
