signal’s range very quickly and receive only a brief alert. Although many times the probable source of the false signal can be identified (supermarket, bank, commercial building, etc.), caution is advised until the source can be confirmed. The X band alert pattern caused by a non-police source can look like the initial alert produced by actual police Radar. For this reason appropriate action is required any time an alert is received.

Laser Alerts

When Laser is detected, a flashing “L” will appear in the Digital Display.

If a vehicle is a long distance from the source of Laser pulses, fewer pulses will generally be received. The closer the vehicle is to the source of Laser pulses, the greater the likelihood of receiving a steady stream of Laser pulses. The reason for this is the aiming stability of the Laser gun and the fact that it is impossible to hold the gun absolutely still. Any movement of the gun results in motion of the beam at the target. The further the target, the greater the displacement of the beam and the shorter the dwell time of the beam at the target point. There- fore, there is the possibility of receiving only a few Laser pulses.

Due to these characteristics, all Laser alerts received from your unit should be taken seriously.

vg-2 Guard® Alert



Whenever your express unit detects signals from the Interceptor vg-2 (Radar Detector Detector), the vg-2 Guard® feature engages, alerting you to the presence of the interceptor vg-2. (vg-2 Guard® must be selected on—see page 8 for more information on Selectable Features). A distinct, 2-second audio warning coupled with the Digital Voice announcement of “vg-2 Alert” and the flashing of the “H”, or “A” (926 only) in the Digital Display confirms activation of the vg-2 Guard® feature. This flashing continues for as long as vg-2 Guard® is activated. During the vg-2 alert your unit does not detect Radar or sws™ signals. However, the presence of the Interceptor vg-2 indicates that traffic is being monitored and speed measurements may be taken. When the “H” or “C” stops
