VG-2 Detection Mode
The VG-2, also known as a “radar detector
detector,” is a special receiver used by
police to detect signals radiated by a radar
detector. See page 21 for more information
on VG-2.

1730/1732: Press the VG-2 button once.
Unit beeps once for on, twice for off.
1733/1734: Press and hold the quiet

for of
f.
When a VG-2 signal is detected the VG-2
alert is sounded. After 3 seconds the audio
is cancelled and the VG-2 indicator flashes
at a slower rate (Power LED flashes on the
1730/1732 models). 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.
