OPERATION
Engaging/Disengaging VG-2
P P r r o o - - 5 5 8 8 : : Press and hold the quiet button. Unit
beeps once for VG-2 on, twice for off.
P P r r o o - - 6 6 8 8 : : See Option Mode to engage VG-2.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert
is sounded. After 3 seconds the audio is can-
celled 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.
Vehicle Battery Saver Mode
The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode automatically
shuts off your detector within 3 hours if you for-
get to turn it off. The timer is reset if the detec-
tor is turned off, unplugged or any button is
pressed before the 6 hours have expired. The
detector will alert you with an audible and visual
warning before it shuts off.
During this warning you can reset the timer by
pressing any button.
If the unit has automatically turned itself off,
press the Power button to turn the unit back on.
You can manually engage the Vehicle Battery
Saver Mode by pressing and holding the City
button until one beep is heard.

There are times when a radar detector can emit
the same frequency as police radar and can
cause your detector to falsely alarm. Sometimes
a detector can display a signal when picking up
another radar detector in vehicle close by. The
Whistler Filter Mode option provide a method
to study the signal which will verify if the signal
is a legitimate police radar or a false alert from
another detector.
Filter: Allows for normal filtering.
Filter is the factory default and should provide
adequate filtering for most conditions. Filter
Mode does not override Highway or City set-
tings. See Option Select Mode to change Filter
settings.
