ALTERNATE SLOW DOWN MODE (CODE 9971)

The display can show either the “Slow Down” (default) or “Red-Blues” flashing alert in two ways. The first is 

that either one is shown if the vehicle speed is over a set speed. The other is that either one shows then the 

vehicle speed will show alternating between the two until the vehicle slows below the set speed. Both are 

very effective but one could be preferred above the other. To switch from one or the other, push-button in the 

code 9971 then push-button select either “SL” or “RB”. Now select either “ON” or “OF” (off ). If you selected “ON”, 

then only the “Slow Down” (or “RB”) message will display. If “OF” (off ) is selected, then the display will alternate 

between “Slow Down” (or “RB”) and their speed. 

WHITE FLASHER MODE TOGGLE (9992)

This allows the user to toggle the brighter flash mode option. Displays the scrolling text “LIGHT FLASH VA”. 

Then the user chooses between options ‘OF’ and ‘ON’ using a button input

TIME AVAILABILITY TOGGLE (9989)

This feature simply leaves the Set Time mode in or out of the main menu. “On” means the Set Time Availability 

was off and will now be turned on. “Off” means the Set time Availability was on and will now be turned off. We 

recommend the Set Time Availability be “Off” for most applications.

KPH DISPLAY TOGGLE (9997) 

The display will show ‘KPH MODE’ where you can toggle between ‘OF’ and ‘ON’. ‘OF’ being MPH and ‘ON’ being 

kph.

MIN SPEED TOGGLE (9969)

Lower speeds of 5 mph are distracting in most applications but are desirable in some. As a default, the display 

will only show down to 5 mph but down to 1 mph is available. FOR NORMAL MODE, does not apply to VA 

mode. Putting in the minimum speed code will turn on and off the down to one mode. If after putting in the 

minimum speed code, the display shows “1” then the speed will show down to 1 mph. If “5” shows then the 

speed will only show down to 5 mph.

SKIP SETTINGS TOGGLE (9963)

This allows the user to control whether they want to skip the settings menu. Display the scrolling text “SKIP 

SETTING”. Then choose between options ‘OF’ and ‘ON’ using a button input.

SPEED FILTER TOGGLE (9983)

This allows the user to toggle the speed filtering option. Displays the scrolling text “SPEED FILTER”. Then the 

user chooses between options ‘OF’ and ‘ON’ using a button input.

SPEED FILTER STRENGTH (9984)

This allows the user to set the speed filter strength. Displays the scrolling text “FILTER HOLD”. The user then 

selects a value between 0 and 40 by using a button input to scroll through the values.
