Adjusting the Audio Level

Once your unit has completed the power-up test sequence, the

audio level can be adjusted by holding the 

PWR

/

VOL

button down.

As you hear the audio level change, the digits 1-9 in the Digital
Display provide a visual reference of the audio level.

To reverse the direction in which the audio level increases/

decreases, briefly release, then hold down the 

PWR

/

VOL

button again.

DARK

(Bright/Dim/Dark) Button

The 

DARK

button allows selection of a dim or dark setting for all 

LEDS

and the Digital Display. To engage dim mode, press the 

DARK

button

once. A single “beep” confirms your selection. To completely cancel
the illumination of all 

LEDS

, press 

DARK

a second time. You'll notice a

horizontal bar segment remains dim to indicate your unit is receiving
power. To return to a full bright setting, press the 

DARK

button a third

time; two “beeps” confirm this selection. Use of the 

DARK

button does

not affect audio alerts.

Important—if you press the the 

DARK

button and do not receive

audible confirmation, the audio level has been set too low.

AUDIO

(Audio Mute) Button

Continuous Audio Alert Pattern

Your unit has been preset at the factory to provide an X, K, Ka
or Laser Digital Voice announcement of the signal detected. Digital
Voice prompts are provided once after the initial audio alert. This 
standard setting is often preferred when background noise in a 
vehicle is loud.

Automatic Mute Audio Alert Pattern (Radar)

To engage automatic muting, press the 

AUD

button once when

the unit is not alarming. A single “beep” and a decimal point in
the upper left corner of the Digital Display confirm automatic
mute mode has been engaged. The alert pattern when this mode
is activated consists of a short X, K or Super Wideband Ka
audio alert followed by the Digital Voice announcement of the
signal detected 

(if feature is engaged)

. After the Digital Voice

announcement, a “clicking” tone keeps you quietly informed
for as long as the signal is present. This “clicking” becomes
more rapid as the strength of the Radar signal increases. With
