Audio Alerts A distinctly different Alert tone is used for each type of signal detected (including separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K, Ka and Ku band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as you approach the signal Notice source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful information about the signal detected.

Secondary Icons Assistance Understanding Radar and Laser Radar Speed Monitoring Systems · Notice NOTE You should take appropriate action immediately whenever an instant-on alert is given. Secondary Icons Three band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment: X band K band Ka band 10. 525 GHz 24. 150 GHz 33. 400 ­ 36. 00 GHz Responding to Alerts Notice Description Tone repeats slowly at first, then speeds up rapidly. Tone instantly begins repeating rapidly. 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. Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert signals as standard K band radar.
