Engaging/Disengaging VG-2 

Pro-73: 

See option select mode to turn this feature on. 

Pro-58: 

Press and hold the quiet button. Unit beeps

once for VG-2 on, twice for off.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is
sounded. After 3 seconds the audio is cancelled and
the VG-2 indicator flashes at a slower rate. This cycle
is repeated if the VG-2 signal is again detected. 
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.

Teach/Tutorial Mode

Provides simulated alerts for each type of signal.
