Radar Speed Monitoring Systems
Secondary Icons
Tone repeats slowly at first, Probably police radar. Tone sounds one time only.
Notice
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
Probably a false alarm, but possibly pulsed radar or VG-2 nearby. Probably police radar beyond the hill or bridge.
Exercise caution
Tone instantly begins repeating rapidly. Tone repeats slowly as you approach a hill or bridge, then speeds up sharply as you reach it. A Safety or Strobe Alert.
FULL ALERT FULL ALERT
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.
Probably a false alarm. You are nearing an emergency vehicle.
Exercise caution FULL ALERT Exercise caution
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. Depending on your location, you may not receive these alerts regularly and may often encounter emergency vehicles without being alerted. As the number of transmitters increases, these alerts will become more common. When you receive such an alert, please watch for emergency vehicles ahead of you, on cross streets and behind you. If you see an emergency vehicle approaching, please pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass.

Special strobes mounted on the light bars of authorized emergency vehicles (fire trucks, police cars, ambulances) automatically change traffic signals as the vehicle approaches an intersection. These strobes and the special strobe Secondary Icons detectors located on the traffic signals, introduced fairly recently by 3M and Tomar, are already in use in more than 1000 cities nationwide. Cobra's exclusive Strobe Alert detector will detect these special strobes and give an emergency vehicle alert. When you Notice receive such an alert, please watch for an approaching emergency vehicle and pull over to allow it to pass. To inquire about coverage in your area, contact your local fire and police departments.
Your detector is designed and built to give you years of trouble-free performance without the need for service.
