Per my phone call with Valentine technical support this issue is caused by "Gesture control system" which operates on same laser frequency as police laser radar.
According to Valentine 1 technical support only way to fix it is to cover the Gesture control system sensor (I do not know where it is). There is no way to disable it.
So...I decide to experiment. I cut about 1/4 inch circle from electrical tape and glue it on the front of my Valentine detector on the red display screen where you see dark red circle.
The laser alarm immediately stopped. I think this solution decrease or completely disabled the laser sensitivity from rear which I can live without it.
I am in process testing if the front laser sensor is still working.
My next experiment will be to replace the electrical tape circle with 1/4 inch circle tubing length about 1/2 inch around the Lase sensor. Maybe the tubing will shield the noise from Gesture control system and still aloud to pass the laser signal through tubing/sleeve and the rear laser will still work without interference.(Tip:I am going to use black rubber sleeve from the pen).
I hope this may help to all Valentine 1 users.

Or you can switch to an escort radar detector which doesn't have this issue.
