VG-2, also called the radar detector detector, is an inter-
ceptor used by officers to identify vehicles equipped with
radar detectors in instances and locations where they are
not legal (such as in vehicles over 10,000 lbs. or in Vir-
ginia and Washington D.C.).
The VG-2 interceptor works by detecting emissions gener-
ated by a radar detector. When the RX5000 detects a
VG-2 signal, it temporarily hides its own emissions and
becomes invisible to the VG-2 interceptor.

The bands occupied by police radar (X, K, Ka) are also
shared for other uses, such as automatic door openers (ex.
automatic doors used at supermarkets), burglar alarms,
terrestrial microwave emission, RF braking systems, and
other devices. In addition, other radar detectors in close
proximity may falsely alert your detector. To reduce
false alerts, the RX5000 has three city filtering settings.

alarms but will also reduce police radar reception by
approximately 50%. For best protection, always drive in
