When a radar signal is detected, the driver will be alerted by a visual text warning and a voice/tone alert. The
display and voice alert will indicate the detected radar band, frequency and signal strength. A beeping warning
tone will increase its intensity with increasing signal strength. The signal strength has 9 levels. GPS alerts are
reported by voice and text; for example "Speed Camera".
