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 (either in Voice Alert or Tone Alert mode) as you
complete each step. The factory setting is Highway mode.
