Laser Audio/Visual Alerts When a laser signal is detected the word "Laser" and signal strength is displayed, the audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds. Example: The more "|||" the closer the laser source. E v e ry 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. Having a laser/radar detector does not make you invisible and immune to laser/radar guns. As in the case with detecting instant-on radar, there are some circumstances that the VG-2 may detect you laser/radar detector before the laser/radar can detect the VG-2 signal in time to hide. (Reference page XX for Radar Detector `Detector' information. ) Alert Priority When two or more signals are received at the same time, the alert priority is: 1. Safety Radar Example: If X band is alerting, then suddenly VG-2 is detected, the VG-2 warning will override the X band alert. An asterisk is displayed when the optional rear antenna receives a signal.
