Auto Power

aPwr On

(Standard)

In this setting, Solo S2 maximizes battery life by 
intelligently shutting down once your vehicle has
become motionless. Approximately 15 minutes after
the vehicle has stopped moving, the Solo S2 will go
into a “sleep” mode. It will “sleep” for approximately
30 minutes. However, if the Solo S2 senses movement
within this “sleep” time, the Solo S2 will prompt you
(both audibly and visually) to see if you would like to
return to an active mode. If yes, simply press any
button.

If not, the Solo S2 will shut off completely, 

maximizing battery life.

aPwr OFF

In this setting, Solo S2 requires that you turn it on and
off manually using the PWR button. 

Power-on Sequence

PwrOnSTD

(Standard) 

In this setting, each time you turn on Solo S2, it will
display “Solo S2,” “LASER,” “Ka-band,” “K-band,”
“X-band,” followed by a brief X-band alert. (factory
default) If one or more bands are disabled, (see page
19) a message will appear alerting you if one or more
bands are disabled, (ie. “X OFF”).

PwrOnFST

(Fast power-on) 

In this setting, Solo S2 will provide a single X-band
tone if all bands are enabled. If any bands have been
disabled, a double X-band tone and corresponding
message (i.e. “X  OFF”), will alert you that one or
more bands have been turned off.

NOTE:

If the batteries need to be replaced, a low-

battery alert will be provided during both power-on
sequences. 

Signal Strength Meter

MeterSTD

(Standard meter) 

In this setting, the meter displays the band of the
received signal, and a bar graph shows the relative
signal strength. (factory default)

MeterEXP

(Expert Meter) 

In this setting, the meter simultaneously tracks
multiple radar signals. It can display up to 2 Ka band,
2 K band, and 4 X band signals at the same time.

NOTE:

The ExpertMeter feature is explained in

more detail on page 13.

AutoMute

aMute ON

(AutoMute on) 

In this setting, Solo S2’s audio alerts will initially be at
the volume you set, but after a few seconds, Solo S2
will automatically reduce the volume level, to keep
you informed, but not annoyed. (factory default) 

aMuteOFF

(AutoMute off) 

With AutoMute off, Solo S2’s audio alerts will remain
at the volume you set for the duration of the radar
encounter.

Audio Tones

Tone STD

(Standard tones)

default)

ToneLOUD
