VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts
NOTE: You must turn this feature on before it will
detect VG-2.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector ‘hides’ its own
radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2.
Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal.
If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues to
hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is detected,
two beeps are provided, indicating an ‘all clear’ condition.
During VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band signals cannot
be received (Reference page 19 for VG-2 information).
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the same
time, the alert priority is:
1. Laser
2. VG-2
3. Speed Radar
4. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly VG-2 is detected,
the VG-2 warning will override the X band alert.

Speed Radar Audio/Visual Alerts
When X, K or Ka is detected the band ID and signal
strength is displayed. The audio alert is continuous
and has a geiger counter-like pattern. The faster the
beep the closer or stronger the radar source.
Laser Audio/Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected the audio alert is continuous
for a minimum of 3 seconds.

Pulse Protection
®
Pulse (or instant-on) radar is more difficult to detect
than conventional radar because it remains ‘off’ until
activated to measure the speed of a targeted vehicle.
When a pulse type transmission is detected, your Whistler
detector sounds an urgent 3-second audio warning
and the display shows:
After the 3-second pulse alert, the standard alert pattern
continues for as long as the signal is present.
It is important to respond promptly to a pulse alert,
since warning time may be minimal.
