5. Front Laser – high gain optical lens provides
increased sensitivity and field of view for
leading-edge laser detection.
6. Rear Laser – an integrated optical
waveguide provides superior detection of
laser signals transmitted from behind.

false alerts typically encountered in urban
driving areas.

and adjusts audio level.

brightness for the ambient light conditions.
