Sound
Alert tones per band, voice speed and preview, announcement distances, audio output and background notifications.
Menu → Settings → Alerts → Sound holds everything the phone plays.
Alert tones#
A sound for each radar band: X, K, Ka, Ku and Laser. Each tone repeats faster as the signal gets stronger, on the same cadence a Valentine One uses. A tone can be used by one band at a time; choosing a tone already in use moves it. Pick None to show a band silently.
Audio output#
Where announcements play. Automatic (recommended) prefers CarPlay and good Bluetooth audio and avoids routing to things like a GPS unit; Preferred device always uses a device you pick when it is connected; System default follows whatever the phone is using. iPhone only.
Voice#
- Voice speed and Preview alert, which plays a front Ka alert at that speed so you can set the volume.
- Mute during calls.
Announcement distance#
How far ahead cameras and reports are announced: the First announcement and Second announcement distances.
When the app is in the background#
A notification for each band you pick while another app is open. The app keeps alerting while it is in the background and on CarPlay; these notifications are for the lock screen and other apps. Allow notifications on first launch or in the phone's settings.
If you hear nothing#
- The band's tone is not None.
- The phone's volume is up and the Audio output device is right.
- The notification profile in use speaks that kind of alert.
- The alert is not muted: look for a mute badge on the signal card and check Alert filtering.
- The detector is connected.
