Description

Interpretation

Recommended
Response

Tone repeats slowly at first,
then speeds up rapidly.

Probably police radar.

FULL ALERT

Tone sounds one 
time only.

Probably a false alarm, 
but possibly pulsed radar,
Spectre 1 or VG-2 nearby.

Exercise caution

Tone instantly begins 
repeating rapidly.

Radar, Spectre 1 or VG-2 nearby
has been activated suddenly.

FULL ALERT

Pop mode tone.

Pop mode gun very close.

FULL ALERT

Tone repeats slowly as you
approach a hill or bridge, then
speeds up sharply as you
reach it.

Probably police 
radar beyond the 
hill or bridge.

FULL ALERT

Tone repeats slowly 
for a short period.

Probably a false alarm.

Exercise caution

Any type of laser alert.

Laser alerts are 
never false alarms.

FULL ALERT

Any Safety Alert 
or Strobe Alert.

You are nearing an emergency
vehicle, railroad crossing, or
road hazard (construction,
accident, etc.).

Exercise caution

Instant-On Detection

Your detector is designed to detect Instant-On speed monitoring signals,
which can suddenly appear at full strength.

NOTE

You should take appropriate action 

immediately whenever an instant-on alert is given.

Pop Detection

Your detector is designed to detect single pulse mode radars. These radars
are designed to have a low probability of detection. You should note that these
radar guns have a much shorter range while in this mode.
