cty
(City X/Highway) Button
The
cty
X mode has been designed to effectively reduce
unwanted audio alerts caused by intrusion alarms, door
openers, and other devices which share
X band
with police
Radar—without reducing sensitivity. Signals from non-police
Radar sources are frequently encountered in urban and sub-
urban areas, making use of this mode ideal in these areas.
Pressing the
cty
button once engages the
cty
X mode which
is confirmed by “
CITY
” in the display coupled with a single
audio “beep”. Pressing the
cty
twice returns you to highway
mode; “
HIGHWAY
” will appear in the display coupled with
two“beeps”. Once
cty
X mode is engaged, weak X band
signals encountered will produce no audible alert until the
signal strength reaches a preset level. However, visual alerts
are processed the instant an X band signal is detected,
keeping you quietly informed. Since most “false” X band
signals are weak, the use of the
cty
mode allows you to drive
out of their range before they reach the preset level and
trigger a full audio alert. In contrast, signals from X band
traffic Radar are generally stronger and will exceed the preset
level, causing a full X band audio alert. Activating the
cty
mode will not change Super Wideband Ka, K or instant-on X
band Radar alert patterns.
Note—the
cty
mode does not change the presentation of alerts
for Laser
sws
™
or
-
signals.
City ALL
provides an alternated approach for improving
X,
K and Ka
band selectivity and is ideal for use in areas with a
high level of microwave transmissions which can cause
falsing on all three bands. To engage
City ALL
mode, press
cty
until the Display shows “
CITY ALL
”. Once engaged, weak
X, K or Super Wideband Ka signals encountered will provide
no audible alerts until the signal strength reaches a preset
level. Visual alerts are processed the instant an X, K or Super
Wideband Ka signal is detected, keeping you quietly
informed.
