etc.), caution is advised until the source can be confirmed. The X band alert pattern caused by a non-police source can look like the initial alert produced by actual police Radar. For this reason appropriate action is required any time an alert is received. Laser Alerts When Laser is detected, the 4-led display will "ramp" from right to left (opposite pattern from that of Radar detection). This illumination pattern occurs rapidly and is coupled with the flashing of the red Laser and the 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 impossible 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 received from your unit should be taken seriously. vg-2 Guard® Alert Whenever your express Cordless detects signals from the Interceptor vg-2 (Radar Detector Detector), the vg-2 Guard® Feature alerts (vg-2 Guard®must be selected on in Selectable Features, see page 9). A distinct, 3-second audio warning coupled with the flashing of the first and fourth leds in the 4led display confirm activation of the vg-2 Guard®. The led flashing 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 your speed should be adjusted accordingly. Note-activation of - Guard® does not affect detection of Laser signals. 
