Situation 4: You’re driving down the highway and
moving radar is coming up behind you.
Your Warning: The Behind arrow will glow. The Bogey
Counter will show 1. You’ll hear a slow Beep or Brap, and
the rate will increase very slowly. This sort of alert could
last for miles because the closing rate is just a few mph.
Finally, if you watch your mirrors, you’ll see the radar. To
mute the audio at any time, press the Control Knob.
Situation 5: You’re driving down the highway and closing
on a moving radar ahead of you that’s going in your
direction.
Your Warning: The Ahead arrow will glow. The Bogey
Counter will show 1. You’ll hear a slow Beep or Brap that
increases very slowly. As in Situation 4, your closing rate is
very slow, so this alert could last for a long time.
Whenever you encounter an alert that lasts for an
abnormally long time, it’s probably radar moving along at
about your speed. To mute the audio at any time, press the
Control Knob.
Situation 6: You’re driving a route where you expect a
burglar alarm, but this time there’s radar hiding under the
cover of the normal alert.
Your Warning: The Ahead arrow will glow. You’ll hear
the usual Beep or Brap if you detect the burglar alarm,
possibly (but not necessarily) a different sound if the radar
is detected first. But when you hear the Bogey Lock
(“Dee-Deet”) warning, that’s a sure indication that this
situation is more threatening. The Bogey Lock warning is
given whenever Valentine One locks onto an additional
threat. In this case, the Bogey Counter will show 2,
confirming the second threat. If the radar is X band, same
as the burglar alarm, you will hear a slow Beep; it may
strengthen faster than normal. If the radar is on one
of the other frequencies, the audio will correspond to the
bogey that the internal computer has determined to be
most dangerous.
The key thing to remember is, any time you detect more
bogeys than normal, watch out.
