operation and sound for each band by turns. To exit the tutorial mode, press
“City” after finishing the one operation of a band.
C. Adjusting Volume
To change the detector's volume, turn volume control either away or toward
you (see figure 1).
D. Operating Settings
1. City Operation
In modern cities there are many weak signals which have no relation to the
traffic signal controllers. The City mode reduces the detector's sensitivity to weak
signals and eliminates responses to false sources.
It’s important to notice that old or poorly shielded detectors in other vehicles
can sometimes transmit weak radar signals. So don’t forget to switch on the City
mode where it is necessary.
• To select the city mode, press CITY button. A yellow LED will blink.
• Press CITY button again to switch off this mode. Highway mode will turn
on. Yellow button will stop blinking.
The Highway mode when the CITY LED turned off provides maximum
sensitivity for open road driving where there are no false signals but there is a
necessity to identify the traffic signal controllers beforehand.
2. Mute Operation
To temporarily silence the detector, press MUTE.
After leaving the area of the transmission source, the detector automatically
returns to normal after 20 seconds.
You can also press MUTE button while the audio alert is sounding to silence it.
E. Receiving and Identifying Radar and Laser Signals
When your detector identifies radar signals, the following will occur:
1. Distinctive audible alarms will be emitted for X-, Ku-, K-, and Ka-band radar
signals. The alarm sounds will occur faster and faster as the signal gets
stronger (as you get closer to the source).
When the signal gets very strong, the alarm sounds become continuous tones.
2. The appropriate visual alarm indicator (yellow X/Ku or red K/Ka-bands) will
flash in unison with the audio tones.
When the pulses of laser light from a laser gun are detected by your detector
1. The audible alarm will emit a distinctive sound for laser.
2. The amber “L” indicator will flash and start blinking.
3. Laser detection will override all radar bands.
