Voice/Tone Setting

You can set your detector to sound alerts with either a 

Voice

 or a

. You can 

change settings by using the 

Mute 

button. In Voice Alert mode, you will first hear 

several tones, then a voice message announcing the type of signal detected, 

followed by more tones. In Tone Alert mode, you will hear the tones only. The 

factory setting is Voice Alert mode.

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.)

To Turn IntelliMute Pro On

While no signal  

is being detected,
