SPY MODE:  

This option allows the radar to continue collecting traffic data as usual, but the motorist will 
only see a blank radar screen. This allows you to test the radar’s efficiency by comparing the 
traffic statistics recorded when the radar is ON against those when it is (seemingly) OFF.  

STATISTICS:  

Allows you to enable/disable the two-way traffic data recording.
