All user mode settings on your detector can be changed by using 
Program mode. When changing the settings, 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.

The procedure for using Program mode is shown on page 7.

NOTE

You cannot enter Program mode during an alert. The unit will not detect

signals while in Program mode. During programming, if no buttons are

pushed for ten seconds, the unit will automatically exit Program mode

and save the last settings.

Programming User Modes

The tables on pages 8 through 9 show you how to program all user modes
and the settings you can choose from.

NOTE

On the following pages, you will find more detailed 

explanations of each setting. 

See page 15 for instructions on setting the IntelliMute activation point.

See page 17 for instructions on calibrating the compass. 

See page 22 for instructions on using SmartPower.
