Power
To turn your V6 on or off, press the PWR
button located on the top. When you turn
your V6 on, it goes through a sequence of
alerts.
If you prefer, you may program your V6
for a shorter power-on sequence. See the
Programming section for details.
Volume
Press and hold the Volume/Mute button
located on the top case to adjust the V6’s
alert volume level. The audio will ramp up
and down, accompanied by a bar-graph on
the display. Once you’ve reached your
preferred audio level, simply release the
button.
Power-on indication
After the V6’s start-up sequence is
complete, the alphanumeric display will
show Highway or City to indicate which
sensitivity mode is selected.
If you prefer, you can select alternate
power-on displays. See the Programming
section for details.
Voice Alerts
The V6 provides digital voice
announcements of radar and laser bands
detected. If Safety Radar (SWS) is turned on,
a safety radar message will also be
announced. See the Programming section
for details.
If you prefer, you can turn Voice Alerts
off. See Programming section for details.
AutoMute
Your V6 has our patented AutoMute feature.
After the V6 alerts you to a radar encounter
at the volume you have selected, the
AutoMute feature will automatically reduce
the volume to a lower level. This keeps you
informed without the annoyance of a
continuous full-volume alert.
If you prefer, you can turn the
AutoMute feature off. See the Programming
section for details.
Mute
The Mute button, located on the V6’s top
case, allows you to silence the audio alert
during a radar encounter.
To mute the audio for a single specific
signal, briefly press the Mute button. After
that radar encounter has passed, the mute
will automatically reset and the audio will
alert you to the next encounter.
Highway / City Button
The City button selects the V6’s sensitivity
mode. We recommend the Highway mode
for most driving.
When driving in urban areas where
annoying X-band intrusion alarms and door
openers are common, City mode can be
engaged to lower X-band sensitivity and
reduce X-band alerts. Full sensitivity is
maintained on all other bands. See the
Programming section for details.
Brightness
The V6’s BRT button selects the brightness
of your V6’s display. There are four settings:
Maximum, Medium, Minimum, and Dark.
Press the BRT button to select your
preferred brightness.
Dark Mode
When you select the Dark mode with the
BRT switch, your V6 changes to a very
inconspicuous power-on indication: a very
Dim HD or CD. (In this display, the H or C
indicates Highway or City, and the D
indicates Dark.)
When the V6 is in the Dark mode, the
display will not show visual alerts when V6
detects signals. Only the audible alert will
tell you of detected signals.
