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.
Press the VG-2 button once. Unit beeps
once for 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 “V” Icon flashes. This
cycle is repeated if the VG-2 signal is again
detected.
During the period a VG-2 signal is detect-
ed, 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.
