NOTES
When modifying settings via
XChange 2, the modied settings
are only ‘applied’ to the detector
when the USB is removed. At
this point, the detector checks
for changes in the database and
applies them. If you turn o the
detector instead of unplugging
the USB, these settings will not be
applied correctly.
Refer to the Help menu in
XChange 2 for more information
on how to use the application to
download, upload and modify
your CTX 3030’s settings.
