LASER/VG-2 ALERTS

Laser Audio/Visual Alerts

When a laser signal is detected V/L and signal strength is
displayed, the audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3
seconds. Example:
The more "|||" the closer the laser source.
VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts
Note: You must turn this feature on in option select mode before
it will detect the VG-2 Gun.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector "hides" its own
radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2.
Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal. If
a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues to hide and
repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is detected, two beeps
are provided, indicating an "all clear" condition. During
VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot be received.
(Reference page 25 for VG-2 information.)

Alert Priority

When two or more signals are received at the same time,
the alert priority is:
1. Laser
2. VG-2
3. Speed Radar
4. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly VG-2 is detected, the
VG-2 warning will override the X band alert.
