City/City 1/City 2 Mode
Whistler’s Three Stage City Mode is designed to
reduce the annoyance of automatic door open-
ers, intrusion alarms and other devices which share fre-
quencies with police radar. Generally, X band is
used for these devices.
• Press City to cancel Highway mode and
engage City.
• Press City again to enter City 1 Mode
- display shows ‘C1 Lo X’.
• Press City again to enter City 2 Mode
- display shows ‘C2 No X’
• Pressing City a fourth time cancels City 2 Mode
and returns the unit to Highway Mode.
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signal
give an initial alarm of two beeps, and then
remains quiet unless the signal becomes very
strong. When the signal strength increases, two
additional beeps are provided. City 1 and City 2
Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but
in City 1 Mode, only the X band sensitivity is low-
ered. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected.
Caution:
Some towns/small cities may still be
using X band radar. City Modes do not change
the audio alert for laser or VG-2.
