Dim/Dark Modes
Dim/Dark Mode reduces the illumination of the display.
• Briefly press and release the Dark button to reduce
illumination to a Dim setting.
• Briefly press and release the Dark button a second time
engages Dark Mode. In Dark Mode, the display goes dark
for as long as a signal is being detected and for 20
seconds after, then the display returns to the dim setting.
Dim Modes can be engaged during an alert.
• Briefly press and release the Dark button a forth time to
restore full illumination to the display.
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.
(See page 29 for more information)

During this warning you can reset the timer by pressing any
button. If the unit has automatically turned itself off, press
