Filter Modes; Setting Saver; Vg-2 Mode - Whistler GT-438G Owner's Manual

OPERATION

Filter Modes

There are times when a radar detector in another vehicle,
can emit a frequency which can cause your detector to falsely
alert. The Filter Modes allow you to select the level needed
for your area to minimize the occurrences of these false alerts.
Filter Mode is the factory default setting and should provide
adequate filtering for most conditions. If you experience
excessive alerts due to radar detectors in other vehicles,
increase the Filter level. See Option Selection Mode chart on
page 24 to change the filter settings.

Setting Saver

Setting Saver stores your personalized settings so that when
the detector is turned off and then on again, you do not have
to re-enter them.

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 32 for more information)
