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.
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.
To Turn Pop Alert On and Off
While no signal
is being detected,
press and hold both
the Dim and City
buttons for
four seconds.
