Screw this LOL stuff. If they don't find it humorous on their own, then let 'em take it seriously.

Yes.. You can be the target under any alert. Most users should not be using PRO Mode unless you are an experienced user.
Pro Mode was originally a diagnostic tool for us and it greatly helps with troubleshooting PT's and we would video tape from the car and gun side and compare details to analyze PT's.
AL released it to give enthusiats some advanced tools so they could understand with sounds and live LED views how strong a signal is.
I suggest that unless you are an experienced users that you do not use pro mode. Regardless of the mode any alert from the ALP you need to take very seriously.

Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

The voice alert/siren indicates you're being targeted. If you're in Pro mode and are still being targeted after the voice alert finishes, then you'll hear the buzz, but hopefully you've JTKed before then.
The auto-off count down starts at the beginning of the alert. Remember, you'll start hearing noise of some sort (beeps from regular control set or sirens from the hi-fi) as soon as the ALP starts seeing pulses from the gun and has started jamming. So that's when you need to react. When the speaker squawks, it's time to act!
If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

The alert from the Hi Fi Control Set indicates that you have been targeted (at some point in the past). But if you were to pick up momentary scatter, you wouldn't be able to distinguish it from being targeted continuously from the audio alone, when you're in Pro Mode. You can, however, always look at the LED for that information.
The standard control set also had issues though. If you were to pick up momentary scatter and you were running Pro Mode, the LED would very quickly flash red or yellow, perhaps for as little as 0.1 seconds. Unless you were staring straight at the LED while driving, you'd be able to tell you were hit by something, but you wouldn't be able to tell what direction it came from. With the Hi Fi Control Set, it'll announce "ahead" or "behind".
