(FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment:

VG-2 VG-2 is a detector detector" that works by detecting low-level signals emitted by most radar detectors.

Safety Alert Traffic Warning System care cnr FCCapproved Safety
= Alert transmitters emit microwave radar signals that indicate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the frequency of the signal emitted, it can indicate a speeding 12 DERSTANDING RADAR & LASER emergency vehicle or train, or a stationary road hazard. Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert signals as standard K band radar. Your ESD-6060, however, is designed to differentiate between standard K band and Safety Alert signals, and give separate alerts for each. Safety Alert technology is relatively new. Safety Alert transmitters can be found in limited numbers in all 50 states, but the number is growing. Depending on your location, you may not receive these alerts regularly and may often encounter emergency vehicles, trains, and road hazards without being alerted. As the number of transmitters increases, these alerts will become more common. When you receive such an alert, please watch for emergency vehicles ahead of you, on cross streets, and behind you. If you see an emergency vehicle approaching, please pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass. UNDERSTANDING RADAR & LA LIDAR (laser) The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is actually LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. LIDAR operates much like radar. Its signal spreads out like a radar signal, though not as quickly. Unlike radar, LIDAR must have a dear Does weather have any affect on LIDAR?
Yes. Rain, snow, smoke, fog, or airborne dust particles will reduce the effective range of LIDAR and can, if dense enough, prevent its operation. Can LIDAR operate through glass?
Yes. Newer LIDAR guns can obtain readings through most types of glass. However, the laser pulse also can be Some common questions about LIDAR include:
line of sight fo its target vehicle throug i the entire measurement interval. Obstructions such as sign posts, utility poles, tree branches, etc., will prevent valid speed measurement. received through glass to trigger an alarm by your ESD-6060. Can LIDAR operate while in motion?
No. Because LIDAR operates by line of sight, the person using it cannot drive the vehicle, aim, and operate the gun all at the same time. Is LIDAR legal to use?
Yes. It is legal in all 50 states. 13 enance of Your J Detector
