Interpretation Probably police radar Recommended Response FULL ALERT Your detector detects signals in all three radar bands, plus Ku band (13. 435 GHz), Notice which is an approved frequency used in parts of Europe and Asia. VG-2 and Spectre 1 VG-2 and Spectre 1 are "detector detectors" that work by detecting low-level signals emitted by most radar detectors. Your detector does not emit signals that can be detected by VG-2 or Spectre 1, but does detect VG-2 and Spectre 1 signals and will alert you when a device is in use near your vehicle, if you so choose. Probably a false alarm, but possibly pulsed radar, VG-2, or Spectre 1 nearby Radar, VG-2, or Spectre 1 nearby has been activated suddenly Exercise caution FULL ALERT Safety Alert Traffic Warning System FCC-approved Safety Alert transmitters emit microwave radar signals that indicate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the frequency of the signal emitted, it can indicate a speeding emergency vehicle or train, or a stationary road hazard.
