Highway/City Mode
Your detector has a Highway mode and
three different levels of City modes: City X,
City X Beep Off and City X+K. City X mode
sounds a single beep when the signal is first
detected. City X Beep Off mode prevents all
X band audio alerts until the signal strength
reaches level 3. City X+K mode combines
the City X mode with prevention of K band
audio alerts until the signal strength reads
level 1. This will reduce false alerts while
you are driving in or near urban areas
where there are many sources for conflicting
X or K band signals such as microwave
towers and automatic door openers.
Press and release the SET/CITY button to
switch between Highway mode or City
mode (City X, City X Beep Off or City X+K
mode). In Highway mode you will hear
“highway” in Voice Alert mode or 2 beeps
in Tone mode and “h” will appear in the
display. In City mode (City X, City X Beep
Off or City X+K mode) you will hear “city”
in Voice Alert mode or 1 beep in Tone mode
and “c” will appear in the display.
Press and hold the SET/CITY button to set
the City mode default. The three City
modes will cycle as long as the SET/CITY
button is held. When the SET/CITY button
is released, the City mode currently
displayed will be set. (See page 7 for
instructions on using the Program mode to
select a City mode default.)
The factory setting is Highway. The factory
City mode default setting is City X.
