City Mode Sensitivity

City STD

(Standard) 

In this setting, when you put your V940 in
the City mode, X-band sensitivity is 
significantly reduced, to reduce annoyance
from X-band intrusion alarms and motion
sensors. (factory default)

City LoX

(Low X band sensitivity) 

In this setting, when you put your V940 in
the City mode, X-band sensitivity is reduced
more than the standard setting. This will
reduce X-band alarms from other sources
even further, but also significantly reduces
range to X-band traffic radar.

Bands

BandsDFT

In this setting, all North American radar and
laser frequencies are monitored. This is the
factory setting and it is recommended that
you use your V940 in this mode. 

BandsMOD

In this setting, your V940 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).
