CTY 

(City/Highway) Button

 

The City 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 suburban areas,  

 

making use of this mode ideal in these areas.

 

   Pressing the CTY button once engages the City X   

 

mode which is confi rmed by a single “beep” and the   

 

illumination of the yellow city LED labeled H/C. Once  

 

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 city 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 traffi c Radar are generally  

 

 

stronger and will exceed the preset level, causing a    

 

full X band audio alert.

 

   Activating the City X mode will not change Super   

 

Wideband Ka, K or instant-on X band Radar alert    

 patterns.

 

Note—the city mode has no effect on the reception of Laser 

 or 

SWS.

City X/K/Ka

 

City X/K/Ka provides an alternate 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 X/K/Ka mode, press the City  

 

button twice. City X/K/Ka is confi rmed by the  

 

 alternate 

fl ashing of the green/amber H/C LED for    

 

one second. After the one second, the LED returns to  

 

solid amber illumination.

   Once engaged, weak X, K or Super Wideband Ka    

 

signals encountered will produce 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.
 

   Pressing CTY a third time returns you to highway 

 

mode; two beeps and the illumination of the green 

 

H/C LED confi rms highway mode.

Reset to Factory Settings

 

You can reset your unit to factory settings for volume,  

 

DRK, AUDIO, CITY and Selectable Features. With the 

 

unit OFF press and hold the AUD and CTY buttons, 

 

then press the PWR button. Two “beeps” will confi rm 

 

factory settings are reset. Your unit is now ON and 

 

ready for operation.

Selectable Features

 

Auto-Mute, Safety Warning System, X, K, Super  

 

 

Wideband Ka ON/OFF and the four Ka Narrow 

 

frequencies: 33.8 GHz, 34.3 GHz, 34.7 and GHz, 

 

35.5 GHz, are all features that may be selected ON or 

 

OFF, depending upon your preference.

Auto-Mute On/Off

 

When activated, unit will provide several X, K, Super  

 

Wideband Ka audio alerts followed by a “clicking” 

 

tone to keep you quietly informed for as long as the 

 

signal is present. The clicking becomes more rapid as 

 

the strength of the Radar signal increases. Auto-Mute  

 

enables you to conveniently monitor extended  

 

 

encounters without having to manually mute or adjust  

 

the volume setting.

 

Note—because of their urgency, Laser alerts are not 

 affected.
