Congratulations! [. . . ] Your detector is able to identify signals from VG-2 RDDs and can provide alerts when any of these or similar devices are in use near your vehicle. To Turn VG-2 Alerts On and Off
While no signal is being detected, press and hold the Dim button for four seconds.

Audio Alerts
A distinctly different Alert tone is used for each type of signal detected (including separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K and Ka band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as you approach the signal source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful information about the signal detected. (See responding Notice to alerts on page 13. )

Assistance LIDAR (Laser)
Radar Speed Monitoring Systems
Secondary Icons
Three band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment: X band K band Ka band 10. 525 GHz 24. 150 GHz 33. 400 36. 00 GHz
The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is actually LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging.
Secondary Icons
LIDAR operates much like radar. Unlike radar, LIDAR must have a clear line of sight to its target vehicle throughout the entire measurement interval. Obstructions such as sign posts, utility poles, tree branches, etc. , will prevent valid speed measurement. Some common questions about LIDAR include: Notice n Does weather have any affect on LIDAR?Rain, snow, smoke, fog or airborne dust particles will reduce the effective range of LIDAR and can, if dense enough, prevent its operation. However, the laser pulse also can be received through glass to trigger an alarm by your detector. Because LIDAR operates by line of sight, the person using it cannot drive the vehicle, aim and operate the gun all at the same time. Your detector detects LIDAR (laser).
Notice Your detector detects signals in all three radar bands, plus Ku band (13. 435 GHz), which is an approved frequency used in parts of Europe and Asia.
VG-2
VG-2 is a "detector detector" that works by detecting low-level signals emitted by most radar detectors. Your detector does not emit signals that can be detected by VG-2, but does detect VG-2 signals and will alert you when a device is in use near your vehicle.
Safety Alert Traffic Warning System
FCC-approved Safety Alert transmitters emit microwave radar signals that indicate the presence of an emergency vehicle. Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert signals as standard K band radar. Your detector, however, is designed to differentiate between standard K band and Safety Alert signals, and give separate alerts for each. Safety Alert transmitters can be found in limited numbers in all 50 states, but the number is growing. [. . . ] For Warranty Repair include some form of proof-of-purchase, such as a mechanical reproduction or carbon of a sales receipt.
