VG-2 and Spectre I & IV+ Alert Settings

Police use radar detector detectors (RDDs) to spot users of radar detectors.  
Your detector is able to identify signals from 

VG-2

Spectre I

 and 

Spectre IV+

 

RDDs and can provide alerts when any of these or similar devices are in use  
near your vehicle. 

Your detector 

can

 be spotted by Spectre IV+ RDDs, but is invisible to VG-2 

and Spectre I RDDs. You can choose whether you want to be alerted to VG-2 
and Spectre I & IV+ RDD signals. The factory setting for VG-2 and Spectre I & 
IV+ alerts is Off.
