Introduction
The Genesis-VP Directional (Genesis-VPD™) gives you the option to
easily select and track vehicles approaching, receding, or moving
in both directions simultaneously from your position.
Directionality dramatically enhances the target selection
process. For example, if the radar is set in toward (t) mode, it will
track only vehicles coming toward the radar and ignore all
vehicles moving away from it! In heavy traffic situations, you can
choose to make traffic moving in either direction invisible to the
radar. This feature greatly enhances your tracking history
requirements.
About This Manual
Note the following symbols in this manual.
indicates a warning message about safety
precautions. Please read it carefully.
indicates a helpful tip or precaution to note.
1. Quick Start
If you are already familiar with operating and using police
radar guns, you probably will want to follow the quick start
instructions.
1.1 Initial Set Up
1.1.1 Insert the Batteries
Remove the Black & Decker®VersaPakTM*batteries
from their package and charge them according to
the VersaPakTM instruction sheet (see section 2.1.2
Battery Charger for more about using the battery
charger.) After charging the batteries, insert
them into the handle grip.
* VersaPak™ is a registered trademark of the Black & Decker®Company.

Figure 1.1.1 Insert the batteries into the handle grip.
Push the batteries into the receptacles in the
bottom of the handle until you hear them snap into
place.
1.1.2 Control Panel Functions
The factory default settings for the control panel
are
Default
dir Direction tA
bL Backlight On
Aud Audio volume 3
SEn Sensitivity 5
SLh Squelch On
See section 3 Operating Modes for more on the
settings and how to change the default settings.
1.2 Trigger Operation
The Genesis-VPD transmits and receives microwave
energy when you pull the trigger. When you want to
lock onto a speed, release trigger, then pull it again
within 1/2 second.1The speed in the left window will
move to the right window and flash alternately between
it and a directional indicator (t means the target
vehicle is moving toward you, and Ameans away.) The
locked speed clears when you pull the trigger again.
1You can request Trigger Release Lock software that works another
way. When you release the pulled trigger, the target speed locks and
displays in the LOCKED window.

1.3 Measuring a Target Speed in Faster Vehicle Mode
The Genesis-VPD operates in Strongest Signal mode,
which is the default. If you have purchased Faster
Target software, you can select the Faster mode of
operation with the FAST button. In Faster mode, the
Genesis-VPD can operate in Faster-Toggle or
Faster-Hold setting, which you select in the secondary
menu.

2. Components
2.1 Batteries
The Genesis-VPD comes with a Black & Decker®
Interchangeable Battery System: two nickel-cadmium
(NiCd), silver label, 3.6-volt VersaPakTM batteries and a
two-port AC auto charger (part number P702-VP135).
For increased runtime, you can use nickel metal
hydride (NiMH), gold label, VersaPak™batteries. Please
read all the instructions and warnings on the
VersaPak™instruction sheet to ensure proper use and
storage of your batteries.
Use the battery caps provided with the batteries to store
or carry them, so metal objects (keys, coins, etc.) can
not come in contact with the exposed metal end.
Remember to remove the caps before placing the
batteries in the charger or the Genesis-VPD.
If the device is idle for 30 minutes, it automatically
powers down to save the batteries. The batteries have
aminimum life of 300 charge cycles. You can purchase
additional batteries at hardware stores and from
Decatur Electronics.
•When the radar is transmitting, it consumes roughly three
times as much power from the batteries than when it is
not transmitting. Keep this in mind to maximize battery
life.
•The device draws a small amount of power from the
batteries even when the power is off. When you are not
using the device for extended periods, remove the
batteries to save the charge.

WARNINGS
•IMPORTANT: Do not combine a NiCd (silver label)
battery with a NiMH (gold label) battery in the same
gun. It can damage the batteries.
•IMPORTANT: Using batteries that have mismatched
voltages, such as one battery fully charged and another
with low voltage can cause the device to incorrectly power
up.
•Never attempt to open a battery. If the housing breaks or
cracks, immediately discontinue its use, and do not
recharge it.
•Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode.
If you have problems or questions about your batteries,
contact Decatur Electronics at 800.428.4315, Black &
Decker®at 800.54.HOWTO, or a local Black & Decker®
service center (see the Tools Electric section in the
Yellow Pages.)
2.1.1 Removing Batteries
To remove the batteries, press the red button
with your thumb while pulling on the battery
with your fingers.
2.1.2 Battery Charger
Only charge the batteries with the VersaPakTM
battery charger. It is normal for the charger
to hum and for the batteries and charger to
become warm while charging. If a battery does
not charge properly, check the receptacle to see
if it is working or move it somewhere with a
temperature between +40°F and +105°F. Unplug
the charger when it is not in use.
