Radar Speed Monitoring Systems

Intro

•

Three (3) band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment:

Secondary Icons

X band

10.525 GHz

K band

24.150 GHz

Ka band

33.400 – 36.00 GHz

Notice
Your detector
detects signals in all three (3) radar bands.

VG-2
VG-2 is a “detector detector” that works by detecting low-level signals
emitted by most radar detectors. Your detector does not emit signals that
can be detected by VG-2, but does detect VG-2 signals and will alert you
when a device is in use near your vehicle.

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 detector, however, is designed to differentiate between
standard K band and Safety Alert signals, and give separate alerts for each.

Customer

Warranty

LIDAR (Laser)Assistance
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 widely. Unlike radar, LIDAR must have a clear
line of sight to its target vehicle throughout the entire measurement
interval. Obstructions such as sign posts, utility poles, tree branches,
etc., will prevent valid speed measurement.

Secondary Icons

Notice
Some common
questions about LIDAR include:
■ 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 received through glass to trigger
an alarm by your detector.

■

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.

Safety Alert Traffic Warning System
FCC-approved 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 emergency vehicle or train,
or a stationary road hazard.

Operation

Understanding Radar And Laser

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.

products or component parts upon delivery to the Cobra Factory Service Department, accompanied
by proof of the date of first consumer purchase, such as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt.
You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship the product for warranty service, but the
return charges will be at Cobra’s expense, if the product is repaired or replaced under warranty.
This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply: 1) To any product damaged by accident.
2) In the event of misuse or abuse of the product or as a result of unauthorized alterations or repairs.
3) If the serial number has been altered, defaced or removed. 4) If the owner of the product resides

All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose
are limited in duration to the length of this warranty.
Cobra shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or other damages; including,
without limitation, damages resulting from loss of use or cost of installation.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
