This results in an articially low Patrol speed. The computer would
then subtract this articially low speed from the closing speed
and assign a higher speed to the target. The VIP™ eliminates this
problem by monitoring the speed information being sent from
the OBD II diagnostics port and forces the radar to use the correct
ground return.
Automatic Moving/Stationary Mode Switching
When activated the VIP™ will automatically switch between
moving and stationary modes based on the movement of
the patrol motor vehicle. The G3™ will automatically switch to
stationary mode any time the patrol motor vehicle comes to a stop.
Once the patrol motor vehicle starts moving again the G3™ will
switch the radar back to moving mode.
3.0 Operating the G3™
After you test and conrm that the unit is properly installed, it is
ready for use.
3.1 Power
The PWR button on the display turns the G3™ on and o whereas
the PWR button on the IR remote only turns the G3™ o. After you
press the PWR button, the display illuminates with a segment check
and internal circuitry verication. If the power-up checks passes,
the radar will set itself to the last operational mode prior to being
powdered o.
If the power-up checks fail, SYSTEM ERR will display in the windows
and the unit will not respond to any control except the PWR button
to power down. Turn the unit o then back on. If the error message
persists, remove the unit from service and contact your Decatur Sales
Representative.
