(City/Highway) Button
The
cty
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
cty
mode which is
confirmed by “
CITY
” in the display coupled with a single audio
“beep”. Pressing the
cty
button a second time engages City
All mode (see page 9). Pressing the
cty
button a third time
returns you to highway mode; “
HIGHWAY
” will appear in the
display coupled with two“beeps”. 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
cty
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
cty
mode will not change Super Wideband Ka, K or instant-on X
band Radar alert patterns.
Note—the
cty
mode does not change the presentation of alerts
for Laser or
