LASER/VG-2 ALERTS
VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts
Note: You must turn POP feature OFF in option select mode
before it will detect VG-2.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector “hides” its own
radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2.
Text message confirms detection of VG-2.
E v e ry 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal. If
a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues to hide and
repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is detected, two beeps
a re provided, indicating an “all clear” condition. During VG-2
A l e rt X, K, and Ka band signals cannot be received. Having a
laser/radar detector does not make you invisible and immune
to laser/radar guns. As in the case with detecting instant-on
r a d a r, there are some circumstances that the VG-2 may detect
you laser/radar detector before the laser/radar can detect the
VG-2 signal in time to hide. (Refere n c e page XX for Radar
Detector ‘Detector’ information.)
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the same time,
the alert priority is:
1. Laser
2. VG-2
3. Speed Radar
4. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly VG-2 is detected, the
VG-2 warning will override the X band alert.

Safety Warning System™ Text
Example: Poor Road Surface:
Note: Not all areas have Safety Warning System™ transmitters.
In communities where transmitters are located, the Safety
Warning System™ displays over 60 text messages. When
Safety Radar is detected the audio alert is geiger counter- l i k e .
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected the word “Laser” and sig-
nal strength is displayed, the audio alert is continuous for
a minimum of 3 seconds. Example:
The more “|||” the closer the laser source.
An asterisk is displayed when the optional rear antenna
receives a signal. Example:
