Selecting Display Brightness
You can select from three levels of brightness for your radar de-
tector indicators: bright, dim, and dark. The indicator’s bright-
ness level is always set to full brightness when you turn it on.
Press

once to reduce the indicators’ brightness by 70%.
Press

brightness.
Muting the Audio Alert
While the detector sounds a radar or safety alert signal, you can
press
MUTE
to temporarily silence the detector. The detector
automatically resets the mute to off 20 seconds after the radar
or safety alert signal stops. Or, you can simply press
MUTE
again before it resets to return the detector to normal operation.
Note:
The laser alert signal remains audible even if you press
MUTE
.
RECEIVING AND IDENTIFYING
RADAR, LASER, SAFETY ALERT,
AND VG-2 SIGNALS
When your detector senses a radar signal, it responds with dif-
ferent audible and visual alarms to indicate the signal type for
X-, K-, and Ka-band signals. The detector also indicates the sig-
nal strength by increasing the rate at which it flashes the indica-
tors and sounds the tone as you get closer to the radar source.
In addition, the 2 and 3 signal strength indicators flash to visual-
ly indicate the strength of radar signals.
