VG-2 / POP

 MODE ALERTS

VG-2 Mode

See Option Select Mode to turn this feature on/off. When a VG-2 
signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is sounded and the display 
flashes “VG-2”. After 3 seconds the audio is canceled and the 
display no longer flashes. This cycle is repeated if the VG-2 signal 
is detected again.

During the period a VG-2 signal is detected, a radar
signal cannot be detected.

However, because the VG-2 alert has confirmed that a patrol 
car is nearby, you are already aware of the potential for speed 
monitoring and can adjust your speed accordingly. Laser 
detection is not affected while a VG-2 signal is detected.

POP

 Mode Alerts

Because POP™ Mode radar utilizes the same K or Ka band 
frequencies, the “P” icon will remain on when a POP™ alerts is 
detected. See Option Select Mode to turn POP detection on.
