CITY (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 sub-
urban areas, making use of this mode ideal in these areas.
CITY X Mode
Pressing the
CITY
button once engages the
CITY
X mode
which is confirmed by “
CITY
” in the display coupled with a
single audio “beep”.
Pressing the
CITY
button twice returns you to
highway mode; “
HIGHWAY
” will appear in the display coupled
with two “beeps”. Once
CITY
X mode is 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
mode will not change Super Wideband Ka, K or instant-on X
band Radar alert patterns.
Note—the
CITY
mode does not change the presentation of alerts
for Laser sws
™
or VG-2 signals.
City ALL (X/K/Ka)
City ALL
provides an alternative approach for improving
selectivity on all three bands, 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 ALL
mode, press
CITY
until the Display shows “
CITY ALL
”. Once engaged, weak X, K or
Super Wideband 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.
