Technical Details
Bands
BandsDFT
In this setting, the factory default settings
for radar and laser are monitored.
This is the factory setting, and it is
highly recommended that you use your STi
in this mode.
BandsMOD
In this setting, STi will warn you with an
audible alert, and associated text message
stating which band has changed from the
original factory setting (i.e. “SWS ON”).
This warning is displayed during the start
up sequence (standard or fast).
WARNING:
Do not turn off a band unless
you are absolutely certain that there are
no traffic radar guns using that specific
band in your area.
