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. City Modes do not change the audio alert
for laser.
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.
