When changing the settings on your
ESD-9160, please keep in mind:
• Buttons can have multiple functions.
• All settings will be stored in memory
when the power is turned off and recalled
when the power is turned back on.
Highway/City Mode
Setting your ESD-9160 to City mode delays
all X band audio alerts until the signal
strength reaches level 3. (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 in
the table below, which indicates what you will
see and hear as you complete each step.
The factory setting is Highway mode.
