Pop Alert

The Pop Mode Radar Gun is a single-pulse Doppler radar that is a feature 

of a K and Ka (Bee III Ka radar gun) band Instant-On radar gun. It uses  

a single, short-time pulse to measure the target vehicle’s speed.
The Pop mode receiver senses Pop singles beyond the effective range of Pop radar 

guns. As the Pop mode receiver is so sensitive, you should limit the use of Pop Detect 

mode to highway and rural driving.

Pop Alert

 will alert you to Pop radar signals. During the alert, the unit 

continues to detect other signals. The factory setting is Pop Detect Off.

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.

IntelliMute Pro

IntelliMute Pro 

prevents detection by radar detector detectors (RDDs) such as VG-2, 

Spectre I and Spectre IV+ when traveling at slower speeds. It is intended for use by 

experienced users only.  
When IntelliMute Pro is turned On, and engine RPMs are below the IntelliMute activation 

point, your detector’s radar detection circuits are turned Off to prevent detection by RDDs. 
Before IntelliMute Pro can be turned On, you must have turned On and Set the IntelliMute 

activation point. (See pages 9 through 11.)
