8. ADVANCED FEATURES

In addition to the standard features there are some advanced features available mainly 

for trouble shooting. 

To enter the Advanced Feature mode, turn the unit ON and press the programming 

button five (5) times before the intensity number blinks.  First an “A” will appear on the 

left digit and a number on the right.   Press the programming button until the 

appropriate number is shown for that slot.  Wait for a “B” to appear and repeat this for 

“C” and “D” as well.  This will put you into that mode until the unit is turned off and back 

on again.  See below a list of codes and slots for these advanced features.

Minimum Speed Mode 

Lower speeds of 5 mph are distracting in most applications but are desirable in some.  As 

a default, the display will only show down to 5 mph but down to 1 mph is available.  

Putting in the minimum speed code will turn on and off the down to one mode.   If after 

putting in the minimum speed code, the display shows “S1” then the speed will show 

down to 1 mph.   If “S5” shows then the speed will only show down to 5 mph. 

Alternate Slow Down Mode 

The display can show the “Slow Down” violator alert two ways.  One is that only “Slow 

Down” is shown if the vehicle speed is over that set speed.  The other is that the “Slow 

Down” will show and then the vehicle speed will display, alternating between the two 

until the vehicle slows below the set speed.  Both are very effective but one could be 

preferred above the other.  The default is just “Slow Down”.  To switch from one or the 

other, put in the code and if the display shows “On” then only the “Slow Down” message 

will display.  If after the code is put in and “Off” shows then the display will alternate 

between “Slow Down” and their speed.  

Demo Mode 

Demo Mode will allow you to select 1 of 6 Demo.   The display will show DM for Demo 

Mode and then a number.   Change the number to the desired demo
