Your detector includes the 

SmartPower

 feature that, when turned On, will put the 

unit into Low Power mode 15 minutes after the car’s engine has been turned Off.
Before SmartPower enters 

Low Power

 mode, you will hear three beeps and 

SmartPower will flash on the display. To return the unit to 

Normal Power

 mode and 

exit 

Low Power

 mode, start the car, click anywhere on the touchscreen or turn the 

unit Off and then On again.
From the 

Restore Factory Settings

 screen, you can quickly and conveniently 

restore your detector to its original settings. Confirmation messages are provided 

during the process.

Alert Settings 

Alert Settings

 can be turned On or Off or adjusted to suit your preferences 

using the Alert Settings Menu (see page 17). 

Pop Alert, X Band Alert, K Band Alert,  

Ka Band Alert, Ku Band Alert

When the 

Detect

 mode is On for any of these alerts, the corresponding radar signal 

will be detected and an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to 

detect other signals.

VG-2 Alert

The detector is undetectable by VG-2 detection devices and can alert you when such 

a device is in use near your vehicle. When 

VG-2 Detect

 mode is On, VG-2 signals 

will be detected and an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to 

detect other signals.

VG-2 Audio Mode

When 

VG-2 Audio

 mode is On, alerts will be sounded as well as being displayed on 

the screen. This setting is only available if VG-2 Alert is On. After VG-2 Alert  

is turned On in the Alert Settings menu, the VG-2 Audio On/Off screen will appear. If 

VG-2 Alert is turned Off, the Audio screen will not appear. 

Spectre I & IV Alerts

Police use radar detector detectors (RDDs) to spot users of radar detectors 

Your detector is able to identify signals from 

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 Spectre I RDDs. 

You can choose whether you want to be alerted to Spectre I & IV  

RDD signals.
