[. . . ] If a button is not pressed within 3-5 seconds an alarm sounds and displays multiple scrolling icons · Press Power to cancel Stay Alert. Stay Alert is NOT intended as a substitute for adequate rest. You should NOT operate a vehicle if you are drowsy. During extended periods of vehicle operation, you should take frequent breaks. Improper reliance on the Stay Alert feature may result in vehicle damage, personal injury or death. NEVER OPERATE A VEHICLE IF YOU ARE DROWSY. Auto Shut Off Mode VG-2 Detection When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert is sounded for 3 seconds and the display flashes V the "V/L" icon for 30 seconds. This cycle is repeated if the VG-2 signal is again detected. During the period a VG-2 signal is detected, a radar signal cannot be detected. However, because the VG-2 alert has confirmed that a patrol car is nearby, you are already aware of the potential for speed monitoring and can adjust your speed accordingly. Laser detection is not affected while a VG-2 signal is detected. VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts Note: You must turn this feature on 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. 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. If no signal is detected, two beeps are provided, indicating an "all clear" condition. During a VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot be received (Reference page 21 for VG-2 information). SWS TM Safety Warning SystemTM In communities where Safety Warning SystemTM transmitters are located, the detector will receive over 60 messages. When Safety Radar is detected, the audio alert is given and the display alternately flashes the "I", "III" and "II" icons. Note: Not all areas have Safety Warning SystemTM transmitters. 11 12 13 LASER/RADAR ALERTS Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts When X, K, or Ka band is detected, the band ID and signal strength is displayed. The audio alert is continuous and has a geiger counter-like pattern. The faster the beep, the closer or stronger the radar source. I I "I" = weak signal, "III" = strong signal ALERT PRIORITY Alert Priority When two or more signals are received at the same time, the alert priority is: 1. Safety Radar Example: If X band is alerting, then suddenly a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 warning will override the X band alert.
