WARRANTY INFORMATION
20
The VG-2 is the primary tool used by the police to
identify radar detector equipped vehicles. If caught, in a state
where detectors are illegal, (see page 16), drivers risk losing their
radar detector and receiving a fine. In addition, instant-on radar is
almost always used in combination with a VG-2, leaving unsus-
pecting motorists vulnerable to receiving two tickets - one poten-
tially for speeding, the other for possession of a detector.
Having a radar detector capable of detecting the VG-2 may alert
you to the presence of a speed trap.

It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector owner to
know and understand the laws in your area regarding the legality
of the use of radar detectors.
