When a pulse type transmission is detected, your Whistler detector sounds an urgent 3-second audio warning and: · Model XTR-520 displays: · Model XTR-220 displays: 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. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector `hides' its own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2. 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). NOTE: Having a radar detector capable of detecting the VG-2 may alert you to the presence of a speed trap. The newest tool Police have to detect radar detectors is called Spectre, as of this printing. Spectre can detect all undetectable (VG-2) laser/radar detectors on the market. [. . . ] In this situation there is generally no time to safely adjust your speed. However, if you are traveling near or behind the targeted vehicle and receive an alert, response time should be sufficient. 21 Laser Tips Total Band ProtectionTM Complete Band Coverage that detects laser, radar, VG-2 and safety radar bands. 20 22 WARRANTY INFORMATION During the warranty period, defective units will be repaired without charge to the purchaser when returned with a dated store receipt to the address below.
