Google is your friend.
I would recommend that you turn off POP detection because it falses so much that it just drives people nuts. It doesn't even really works so there isn't much point. Unless you live in VA or DC then you should also turn off VG-2 detection and Spectre detection since they will also cause false alerts without adding any functionality. (Spectre and VG-2 are devices used to sniff out detectors where the are illegal, and not a problem in most of the US.)
This is an OK unit if you just want to know what's happening around you but don't count on getting advanced warning every time. Laser and instant-on radar can still get you with no warning.
