VG-2 Alert ®
The ESD-9560 is undetectable by police
VG-2 detection devices, and will alert
you when such a device is in use near
your vehicle. During the alert, the unit
continues to detect other signals. You
can choose whether or not you want
your unit to show VG-2 alerts. With
VG-2 detection on, you can also
choose whether or not you want your
unit to sound audible VG-2 alerts.
When you turn VG-2 detection on or
off you will hear 2 beeps for VG-2
on or 1 beep for VG-2 off.
When you turn VG-2 audio on or off
you will hear 2 beeps for VG-2 audio
on or 1 beep for VG-2 audio off. (See
page 7 for instructions on using the
Program Mode to turn VG-2 alerts on
and off.)
The factory settings are VG-2 Detect
On, VG-2 Audio On.

Display Brightness (continued)
You will hear 2 beeps for bright, 1 beep

NOTE: You can set display brightness
without entering Program Mode by
repeatedly pressing and releasing the
SELECT/DIM button.
The factory setting is Bright.
Highway/City Mode
Setting your ESD-9560 to City mode
prevents all X band audio alerts until the
signal strength reaches level 3. (A single
beep will sound when the signal is first
detected.) This will reduce false alerts
while you are driving in or near urban
areas where there are many sources
for conflicting X band signals such as
microwave towers and automatic
door openers.
In Highway mode, you will hear 2 beeps
and “
h” will appear in the display. In City
mode, you will hear 1 beep and “ c” will
appear in the display. (See page 7 for
instructions on using the Program mode to
select Highway or City mode.)
NOTE: You can also select Highway or
City mode without entering Program
mode simply by pushing and releasing
the SET/CITY button.
The factory setting is Highway mode.
