When changing the 

Settings

 on your detector, please keep in mind:

   Buttons can have multiple functions.

   All settings will be stored in memory when the power is  

turned Off and recalled when the power is turned back On.

Highway/City Mode

Setting your detector to 

City

 mode delays all X band audio alerts until  

the signal strength reaches Level 3. (A single beep will sound when the  

signal is first detected.) This will reduce false alerts while you are driving  

in, or near, urban areas where there are many sources for conflicting  

X band signals such as microwave towers and automatic door openers. 
To change settings, follow the procedure listed below, which indicates  

what you will see and hear as you complete each step. The factory setting  

is 

Highway

 mode.
