Pop Alert

Pop Alert will alert you of Pop radar signals. During the alert, the unit
continues to detect other signals. The factory setting is Pop Detect off.

K, Ku and X Band Detection

The new Ku Band may be introduced to North America in the future. To prevent
false alerts until it is, the factory default for Ku Band detection is off. In parts of
North America, annoying false alerts from door openers and similar devices are
triggered on the X Band and K Band. If desired, X Band or K Band can be turned
off. The factory default for X Band and K Band detection is on.

To Turn Pop Detect Mode On or Off Using Program Mode
(See Page 7 For Instructions on Using Program Mode)

In Program mode, 
go to Pop Detect.
