Voice Announcements

VoiceON

  (Voice announcements on) 

In this setting, all alerts and instructions 

are communicated using a voice 
announcement. (factory default)

VoiceOFF

  (Voice announcements off) 

With voice off, normal tones will be used 

for alerts.

Bands

BandsDFT

 

In this setting all radar and laser 
frequencies, (with the exception of POP 
mode and Ku-band) are monitored. This is 
the factory setting, and it is recommended 
that you use the Pro500 in this mode.

BandsMOD

In this setting, the Pro500 will warn you 

with an audible alert, and associated text 

message stating which band has been 
modified (i.e. “X OFF”). This warning is 
displayed during the start up sequence.

 

WARNING: Only modify bands if 

you are absolutely certain that 

there are no traffic radar units 

using that specific band in your 

area.

Markers

MarksDFT

 

In this setting, all makers in the database 

will be reported as you approach them. 
This is the factory setting and it is 

recommended that you use the Pro500 in 
this mode.

MarksMOD

 

In this setting, only the selected Markers 

will be reported.

 

NOTE: The Pro500 has plenty of 

built in memory to store thousands of 

locations. In the rare case that the 

database would become 80% full, a 

message will appear at start up to let 

you know you’re reaching its limit.
