Muting an Alert

Your detector allows you to quickly turn Off an audio 

Alert

 by momentarily pressing 

the 

Mute

 button. If you press the Mute button a second time during  

the Alert, the audio Alert will be turned back On.

Auto Mute Mode

Auto Mute

 will automatically reduce the audio volume of all alerts after four 

seconds for as long as the signal is detected. The factory setting for Auto Mute  

is On.

Settings 

When changing the Settings on your detector, please keep in mind:
  

n

   Each time the unit is turned On the factory settings of 

Highway

 and  

Auto Mute-On

 will be set. They can be changed while the unit is in use  

as described in the following sections.

Highway/City Mode

Setting your detector to 

City

 mode delays all X band audio alerts at lower  

signal strength levels. (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.
