Safety Warning System/Audio/Visual Alerts
When your SRT 30R Whistler detector detects a
safety radar signal, it provides a distinctive audio
tone and illuminates the first LED and the last
LED of the Signal Strength Indicator. The SRT
35R Seven Segment display shows an “S.” and a
decimal point when a Safety radar signal is detected.

VG-2 Detection Mode
The VG-2, also known as a “radar detector
detector,” is a special receiver used by police to
detect signals radiated by a radar detector. See
page 21 for more information on VG-2.
SRT 30R:
Press the VG-2 button once. Unit
beeps once for on, twice for off.
SRT 35R:
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.

On the SRT 30R model, VG-2 must be
turned on each time the unit is turned on to
receive VG-2 Alerts.
