Service Under Warranty
During the warranty period, defective units will be re p a i red or

paid, with dated proof of purchase to the address below. Units
re t u rned without dated proof of purchase will be handled as
described in section “Service Out Of Wa rr a n t y.” Due to the
specialized equipment necessary for testing a radar/laser
re c e i v e r, there are no authorized service stations for Whistler
brand detectors other than the factory.

Other Speed Detection Systems
Several techniques other than radar or laser are used to meas-
ure vehicle speeds. When these methods are being used, no
detector can provide a warning. These techniques include:
• Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and matches your
driving speed.
• Vascar/Aircraft - The time it takes a vehicle to travel a
known distance is measured.
Radar Detector Detectors (VG-2)
The Interceptor VG-2, or simply VG-2, is a microwave receiver
used by police to detect signals radiated by the local oscilla-
tor of a radar detector. Because its purpose is to identify per-
sons driving with radar detectors, the VG-2 is known as a
“radar detector detector”.
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 26), 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, leav-
ing unsuspecting motorists vulnerable to receiving two tickets
— one potentially 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.
