CTY
(City/Highway) Button
The City X mode has been designed to effectively
reduce unwanted audio alerts caused by intrusion
alarms, door openers, and other devices which share
X band with police Radar—without reducing
sensitivity. Signals from non-police Radar sources are
frequently encountered in urban and suburban areas,
making use of this mode ideal in these areas.
Pressing the CTY button once engages the City X
mode which is confirmed by a single “beep” and the
illumination of the yellow city LED labeled H/C. Once
engaged, weak X band signals encountered will
produce no audible alert until the signal strength
reaches a preset level. However visual alerts are
processed the instant an X band signal is detected,
keeping you quietly informed. Since most “false” X
band signals are weak, the use of the city mode allows
you to drive out of their range before they reach the
preset level and trigger a full audio alert. In contrast,
signals from X band traffic Radar are generally
stronger and will exceed the preset level, causing a
full X band audio alert.
Activating the City X mode will not change Super
Wideband Ka, K or instant-on X band Radar alert
patterns.
Note—the city mode has no effect on the reception of Laser
or SWS.
City X/K/Ka
City X/K/Ka provides an alternate approach for
improving X, K and Ka band selectivity and is ideal
for use in areas with a high level of microwave
transmissions which can cause falsing on all three
bands. To engage City X/K/Ka mode, press the City
button twice. City X/K/Ka is confirmed by the
alternate flashing of the green/amber H/C LED for
one second. After the one second, the LED returns to
solid amber illumination.

Once engaged, weak X, K or Super Wideband Ka
signals encountered will produce no audible alerts
until the signal strength reaches a preset level. Visual
alerts are processed the instant an X, K or Super
Wideband Ka signal is detected, keeping you quietly
informed.
Pressing CTY a third time returns you to highway
mode; two beeps and the illumination of the green
H/C LED confirms highway mode.
Reset to Factory Settings
You can reset your unit to factory settings for volume,
DRK, AUDIO, CITY and Selectable Features. With the
unit OFF press and hold the AUD and CTY buttons,
then press the PWR button. Two “beeps” will confirm
factory settings are reset. Your unit is now ON and
ready for operation.
Selectable Features
Auto-Mute, Safety Warning System, X, K, Super
Wideband Ka ON/OFF and the four Ka Narrow
frequencies: 33.8 GHz, 34.3 GHz, 34.7 and GHz,
35.5 GHz, are all features that may be selected ON or
OFF, depending upon your preference.
Auto-Mute On/Off
When activated, unit will provide several X, K, Super
Wideband Ka audio alerts followed by a “clicking”
tone to keep you quietly informed for as long as the
signal is present. The clicking becomes more rapid as
the strength of the Radar signal increases. Auto-Mute
enables you to conveniently monitor extended
encounters without having to manually mute or adjust
the volume setting.
Note—because of their urgency, Laser alerts are not
affected.
