cty
(City/Highway) Button
The cty mode has been designed to effectively reduce
unwanted audio alerts caused by intrusion alarms, door
openers, and other devices which share X band with police
Radar—without reducing sensitivity. Signals from non-police
Radar sources are frequently encountered in urban and sub-
urban areas, making use of this mode ideal in these areas.
Pressing the cty button once engages the cty mode which is
confirmed by “
CITY
” in the display coupled with a single audio
“beep”. Pressing the cty button a second time returns you to
highway mode; “
HIGHWAY
” will appear in the display coupled
with two“beeps”. Once engaged, weak X band signals
encountered will produce no audible alert until the signal
strength reaches a preset level. However, visual alerts are
processed the instant an X band signal is detected, keeping
you quietly informed. Since most “false” X band signals are
weak, the use of the cty mode allows you to drive out of their
range before they reach the preset level and trigger a full
audio alert. In contrast, signals from X band traffic Radar are
generally stronger and will exceed the preset level, causing a
full X band audio alert. Activating the cty mode will not
change Super Wideband Ka, K or instant-on X band Radar
alert patterns.
Note—the cty mode does not change the presentation of alerts
for Laser or sws
