Whistler XTR-255 - Manual (Page 6)

POP™ MODE ALERTS LASER/RADAR ALERTS
Safety Warning System/Audio/Visual
Alerts When your Whistler detector detects a
safety radar signal, it provides a distinctive audio
tone and the Numeric Icon display shows an
“S.” and a decimal point when a Safety radar sig-
nal is detected. (XTR-255/260/310/330)
N No otte e:: You will not be able to receive SWS alerts if
transmitters are not located in your area.
VG-2 ALERTS
VG-2 Detection Mode
The VG-2, also known as a “radar detector
detector,” is a special receiver used by police to
detect signals radiated by a radar detector. See
page 21 for more information on VG-2.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2 alert
is sounded. After 3 seconds, the audio is can-
celled and the VG-2 indicator flashes at a slower
rate. Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a
VG-2 signal. This cycle is repeated if the VG-2
signal is detected again. If no signal is detected,
two beeps are provided indicating an “all clear”
condition.
During the period a VG-2 signal is detected, a
radar signal cannot be detected. However,
because the VG-2 alert has confirmed that a
patrol car is nearby, you are already aware of the
potential for speed monitoring and can adjust
your speed accordingly. Laser detection is not
affected while a VG-2 signal is detected.
