It can be a mobile office, communications or entertainment center, or simply an expression of our personality.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION OPERATION • Some windshields have an Instaclear™ or Electriclear™ type coating, which affect radar signals. Consult your dealer or the owner’s manual supplied with your vehicle to determine if your windshield has this coating. • Avoid placing unit in direct contact with windshield. • To reduce the possibility of theft, conceal your unit when not in use. Visor Mounting (optional accessory) • Slide the visor bracket into the bracket mounting slot.
OPERATION OPERATION OPERATION In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals give an initial alarm of two beeps, and then remain quiet unless the signal becomes very strong.When the signal strength increases, two additional beeps are provided. In City 1 Mode, only the X band sensitivity is lowered. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected. CAUTION: When selecting this mode, some towns/small cities may still be using X band radar.
SAFETY RADAR ALERTS VG-2 ALERTS In communities where transmitters are located, the Safety Warning System displays over 60 text messages. When Safety Radar is detected the audio alert is geiger counterlike. VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts Note: You must turn this feature on in option select mode before it will detect VG-2. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector “hides” its own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG2.
SPEED MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES Laser Facts It’s well documented that many radar guns cannot reliably provide the speed of a targeted vehicle that is traveling in a group of vehicles. In contrast, a laser gun can target a specific vehicle out of a line of traffic and determine its speed. The advantage of laser over radar in terms of target identification is the result of the laser gun’s narrow beam.
