When Safety Radar is detected the audio alert is geiger counterlike. Safety Warning System Text Example: Poor Road Surface: LASER/VG-2 ALERTS Laser Audio/Visual Alerts When a laser signal is detected the word "Laser" and signal strength is displayed, the audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds. Example: The more "|||" the closer the laser source. 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 VG-2. Text message confirms detection of VG-2. Note: Not all areas have Safety Warning System transmitters. Visit the Safety warning System web page at www. safetyradar. com for SWS locations. Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal. If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues to hide and repeats the VG-2 alert.
