City/City 1/City 2 Mode (Cont.)
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signal give an
initial alarm of two beeps, and then remains quiet
unless the signal becomes very strong. When the
signal strength increases, two additional beeps are
provided.
City 1 and CIty 2 Modes operate the same as Highway
Mode, but in City 1 Mode, only the X band sensitivity
is lowered. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected.
CAUTION: Some towns/small cities may still be using
X band radar. If Auto Quiet is engaged in City 1 or
City 2 modes and the unit receives a strong radar signal,
the unit performs the Auto Quiet feature. City Modes
do not change the audio alert for laser or VG-2.
Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio warnings any time
radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser signals are
detected, and is recommended for open road driving.
