Laser Alerts When Laser is detected, the display will flash "LASER" coupled with a distinct Laser audio alert. If a vehicle is a long distance from the source of Laser pulses, fewer pulses will generally be received. The closer the vehicle is to the source of Laser pulses, the greater the likelihood of receiving a steady stream of Laser pulses. The reason for this is the aiming stability of the Laser gun and the fact that it is difficult to hold the gun absolutely still. Any movement of the gun results in motion of the beam at the target. The further the target, the greater the displacement of the beam and the shorter the dwell time of the beam at the target point. Therefore, there is the possibility of receiving only a few Laser pulses. Due to these characteristics, all Laser alerts should be taken seriously. VG-2 Guard® Alert Whenever your EXPRESS 935 detects signals from the Interceptor VG-2 (Radar Detector Detector), the VG-2 Guard® feature engages. (VG-2 Guard® must be selected ON - see page 9 for more information). A distinct, 2-second audio warning coupled with the Digital Voice announcement and Text Message of "VG-2 alert"confirms activation of VG-2 Guard®. This message continues for as long as VG-2 Guard® is activated. During the VG-2 alert your unit does not detect Radar or sws™ signals. However, the presence of the Interceptor VG-2 indicates that traffic is being monitored and speed measurements may be taken. When the Text Message of "VG-2 alert" is over, your unit resumes scanning for Radar and sws™ signals. Note: activation of VG-2 Guard® does not affect detection of Laser signals. Safety Warning System® (sws™) Alerts With the Safety Warning System® feature ON and an sws™ transmitter in use, your detector will provide a unique, 2 second sws™ tone coupled with a Safety Warning System® category word (i.e. "Ha z d Zo n e " indicating Highway Hazard Zone Advisory) to quickly orient you to the type of situation ahead. This introductory message is followed by a specific Text Message i.e. "SHARP CURVE AHEAD" and Digital Voice 17
