Pop Alert
When Pop Detect mode is On, Pop radar signals will be detected and an alert
will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect other signals.
The factory setting is Pop Detect Off.
X Band Alert
When X Band Detect mode is On, X Band radar signals will be detected and
an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect other
signals. The factory setting is X Band Detect On.
K Band Alert
When K Band Detect mode is On, K Band radar signals will be detected and
an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect other
signals. The factory setting is K Band Detect On.
Ku Band Alert
When Ku Band Detect mode is On, Ku Band radar signals will be detected
and an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect
other signals. The factory setting is Ku Band Detect Off.
VG-2 Alert
The detector is undetectable by VG-2 detection devices and can alert you when
such a device is in use near your vehicle. When VG-2 Detect mode is On, VG-2
signals will be detected and an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will
continue to detect other signals. The factory setting is VG-2 Detect Off.
VG-2 Audio Mode
When VG-2 Audio mode is On, alerts will be sounded as well as being
displayed on the screen. This setting is only available if VG-2 Alert is on.
The factory setting is VG-2 Audio Off.
Spectre I & IV+ Alerts
Police use radar detector detectors (RDDs) to spot users of radar detectors.
Your detector is able to identify signals from Spectre I and Spectre IV+ RDDs
and can provide alerts when any of these or similar devices are in use near
your vehicle.

Signals Detected
The tables on the following pages show the types of Signals your detector will
detect, as well as the visual alerts it provides for each of them.
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
source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful information about
the signal detected. See responding to alerts on page 27.
Visual Display
An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the OLED Data
Display. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, you will also see the numbers from
one to five, indicating the strength of the signal detected.
Your detector can be spotted by Spectre IV+ RDDs, but is invisible to
Spectre I RDDs. You can choose whether you want to be alerted to Spectre I
& IV+ RDD signals. The factory setting is Spectre Detect Off.
Spectre Audio Mode
When Spectre Audio mode is On, alerts will be sounded as well as being
displayed on the screen. This setting is only available if Spectre Alert is On.
The factory setting is Spectre Audio Off.
Safety Alert
When Safety Alert mode is On, Safety Alert radar signals will be detected and
an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect other
signals. The factory setting is Safety Alert On.
Car Battery Low Voltage Warning
In addition to displaying system voltage, your detector can provide a warning
that battery voltage is low so that timely steps can be taken to correct the
problem. The Car Battery Low alert is triggered when the voltage drops
below 11.9 volts. Following the alert, the unit enters SmartPower mode to
avoid further draining your car battery (see above).The factory setting is
Car Battery Low Voltage Warning is On.
