AUDIO (Audio Mute) Button
Continuous Audio Alert Pattern
Your unit has been preset at the factory to provide an X, K, Ka
or Laser Digital Voice announcement of the signal detected.
Digital Voice prompts are provided once after the initial audio alert.
Note: Digital Voice can be turned
OFF
, (
see page 9).
This standard setting is often preferred when background noise
in a vehicle is loud.
Automatic Mute Alert Pattern (Radar)
To engage automatic muting, press the
AUDIO
button once when the
unit is not alarming. A single “beep” and brief presentation of
“
AUTOMUTE
” in the display confirms automatic mute mode has
been engaged. The alert pattern when this mode is activated
consists of several X, K, Super Wideband Ka audio alerts followed
by the Digital Voice announcement of the signal detected. After
the Digital Voice announcement, a “clicking” tone keeps you
quietly informed for as long as the signal is present. This
“clicking” becomes more rapid as the strength of the Radar signal
increases. With this mode engaged, the automatic muting will be
repeated each time a new signal is encountered. The automatic
mute mode enables you to conveniently monitor extended
encounters without having to manually mute or adjust the
volume setting. To return to the continuous audio alert pattern,
press the
AUDIO
button a second time (while the unit is not
alerting). Two “beeps” and the message “
AUDIO o f f
” confirm you
have cancelled automatic mute mode.
Manual Muting of Audio Alerts (Radar and sws
™
)
Regardless of the
AUDIO
mode selected (continuous or automatic
mute), the audio alerts can be completely muted by pressing
the
AUDIO
button during an alert. Once the alert has passed,
EXPRESS 935 unit will revert to the previous
AUDIO
setting.
Note—because Laser alerts are not lengthy or sustained, muting is
not required (see page 17).
