Feature Engaged Confirmation
Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms feature
on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.
Quiet Mode
The QUIET Button accesses one of two muting options.
Manual Quiet: When an audio alert is sounded, you
can silence the alarm by pressing QUIET. The only time you
can engage/disengage Manual Quiet is during an audio
alert.
Auto Quiet (1730 only): Pressing QUIET before a
radar signal is detected provides an alternate alert pattern,
consisting of four beeps (indicating X, K, Ka or Safety

long as the detected signal is present or any new signal is
detected within 20 seconds, becoming more rapid as the
strength of the signal increases.
If Auto Quiet is engaged, pressing QUIET while the unit is
alarming will cancel the beeps or clicking.
Pressing QUIET a second time when the unit is not alarm-
ing will cancel Auto Quiet mode and restore the continu-
ous audio alert pattern.
