Muting an Alert

Your detector allows you to quickly turn off an

Audio Alert

by momentarily

pressing the Mute

3

button. If you press the 

Mute

3

button a second time

during the alert, the Audio Alert will be turned back on. After the current alert
is gone, the next alert will be heard.

Two other features are incorporated in your detector to automatically mute or
reduce the volume of alerts. See pages 14 and 16 for Intellimute and Auto
Mute modes.

Auxiliary Audio Jack

The 

Auxiliary Audio Jack

can be used to connect external speakers in

environments with high ambient noise levels. The internal speaker will be
disconnected. (This uses a mini stereo audio connector.)

Auto Dimmer and Screensaver

Your detector is equipped with Auto Dimmer and Screensaver functions to
prolong the life of your screen.

Highway / City Mode

Your detector has a 

Highway

mode and three different levels of 

City

modes:

City X, City X Beep Off and City X+K.

Highway mode provides full response to all signals detected. The City modes
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; it can be changed in programming
mode (see page 11).

You can toggle between Highway and City modes by pressing the

City

4

button.

NOTE

When you change to City mode, the unit will enter 
whichever city default mode is set at the time.
