When changing the Settings on your detector, please keep in mind:
n
Each time the unit is turned On the factory settings of
Highway and
Auto Mute-On will be set. They can be changed while the unit is in use
as described in the following sections.
Highway/City Mode
Setting your detector to
City mode delays all X band audio alerts at lower
signal strength levels. (A single beep will sound when the signal is first
detected.) This will reduce false alerts while you are driving in, or near,
urban areas where there are many sources for conflicting X band signals
such as microwave towers and automatic door openers.
To change settings, follow the procedure listed below, which indicates what you will
see and hear as you complete each step. The factory setting is
Highway mode.
Your detector allows you to quickly turn Off an audio
Alert by momentarily pressing
the
Mute button. If you press the Mute button a second time during
the Alert, the audio Alert will be turned back On.
Auto Mute will automatically reduce the audio volume of all alerts after four
seconds for as long as the signal is detected. The factory setting for Auto Mute
is On.
