How to connect a headphone
Plug headphone jack into the detector’s 3.5mm socket. For Bluetooth headphones, connect through V1connection, the app.
How to set Muted Volume
In addition to the Initial Volume, you can also set the sound level you will hear after muting: Tap or to start the test tone. Tap the Control Button (Mute icon will appear), then press or until you’ve reached your preferred sound level. Sound level 0-9 indicated in display during adjustment.
Display readings
- If the display is dark:
- Power is off, or;
- A Concealed Display is connected, or;
- Dark Mode has been enabled in the app.
- With power on, in the absence of alerts, the current Mode will be displayed.
- During alerts,
- The Mode indication will be replaced by the Bogey Count (number of radar signals in range).
- Signal strength indicated by a vertical bar graph.
How to set Analyzer Modes
With power on in the absence of an alert, press-and-hold the Control Button repeatedly to step through the three available Analyzer Modes.
- In All-Bogeys mode , all bogeys will be reported at the Initial Volume as soon as they are detected. Use your judgment to decide whether or not they are threats.
- In Logic mode , X- and K-band bogeys assessed to be too weak to be threats will be reported at the Muted Volume. If and when they become threats, the audio warning will increase to the Initial Volume.
- In Advanced Logic mode , X- and K-band bogeys the Analyzer determines are not threatening will not be reported at all. Threats will be reported at Initial Volume. This mode is particularly useful in metro areas. One exception: to be failsafe, the Analyzer will always pass extremely strong alerts along to you for your judgment.
NOTE: In Logic mode and Advanced Logic mode ****, you are deferring to an algorithm that will assess the threat level and report accordingly.
Be assured that the Analyzer has years of radar experience. It always operates the receiving circuitry at maximum sensitivity, and it knows that instant-on radar is a greater threat than ordinary radar. Therefore it will always warn of instant-on immediately at the Initial Volume whenever it is detected.
How to mount
Using one of the supplied mounts, starting from the front-antenna end of the detector, slide it into the mounting grooves on each side of the detector. Position the detector so the front antenna looks through the windshield and the rear antenna has a clear view to the rear of your car. Stay clear of the wipers and the black mask at the top of the glass.
When the detector is properly oriented, the driver will see this view.
SAFETY WARNING: Because a detector on a windshield mount or visor mount is not permanently attached to the car, it could come loose in a crash, possibly causing injury. Also, a passenger may move forward on impact and contact the detector. Keep these possibilities in mind when you mount your Valentine One Gen2.
How to connect to 12V
Plug one end of the supplied power cords into the detector’s RJ11 connector. Plug the other end into the “MAIN” Lighter Adapter jack and insert the adapter into the car’s 12V socket. If your vehicle has only a USB socket, you’ll need to purchase a USB-to-12V Convertor.
