Highway/City Mode

Your detector has a Highway mode and three (3) different levels of City
modes: City X, City X Beep Off and City X+K. City X mode sounds a single
beep when the signal is first detected. City X Beep Off mode prevents all 
X band audio alerts until the signal strength reaches Level 3. City X+K mode
combines the City X mode with prevention of K band audio alerts until the
signal strength reads Level 2. This will reduce false alerts while you are
driving in or near urban areas where there are many sources for conflicting 
X or K band signals such as microwave towers and automatic door openers.
The factory setting is Highway. The factory City mode default setting is City X.

Setting City Default

You can set the default level for City mode (City X, City X Beep Off and 
City X+K) either in Program mode or directly using the Set/City button.
