Illumination

The display illumination intensity can be adjusted to suit driving conditions:

Bright

 for daytime driving. 

Dim

 for dusk driving.

  

 

Dimmer

 for night driving.

  

 The 

Dark

 icon will remain to indicate the detector is On. (The Dark Icon 

will be replaced by a blinking dot, if the display is not set for Always On.) 

You can adjust the screen illumination 

by Clicking the 

Brightness

 icon to step 

through the levels in the sequence  

listed above.

Standby Screens 

Main Standby Screen

Displays the maximum possible information about the detector 

and its settings. The 

GPS

 and 

Compass

 icons will show only if 

the GPS Locator unit is connected. From this screen you can 

select modes and alternative standby screens, control unit 

functions and access setup menus.

Compass

The compass indicates driving direction if the GPS Locator 

unit is installed and receiving a signal. If the GPS signal is 

lost, the 

GPS

 icon will change to that status and the center of 

the 

Compass

 icon will show two bars. To display this standby 

screen, click on the 

Compass

 icon in the 

Main Standby

 screen.

Speed

If the GPS Locator unit is installed and receiving a signal, the 

vehicle’s speed will be shown. See page 39 for Speed Alert and 

Speed Units information. To display this standby screen, click 

on the 

Compass

 icon in the Compass screen.

Compass and Speed

Combines Compass and Speed information in a single screen. 

To display this standby screen, click on the 

Speed

 icon in the 

Speed

 screen. From this screen, clicking on the 

Compass

 or 

Speed

 icons will return the unit to the 

Main Standby

 screen. 

Lat/Lon

If the GPS Locator unit is installed and receiving a signal,  

the vehicle’s present location will be shown and continuously 

updated. To display this standby screen, press the 

GPS

 icon in 

any standby screen. Pressing the 

Exit

 icon in this screen will 

return the unit to the last 

Standby

 screen.

Brightness Icon

NOTE

Pressing the 

Brightness

 icon provides a shortcut to the Display 

Color (see page 23) and Display Timer (see page 23) settings in 

the 

User Settings

 menu.

NOTE

 

GPS Icon, Compass, Speed and Lat/Lon only appear when used in conjunction 

with GPS Locator (included with XRS 9970G; optional for XRS 9965).
