Compass Mode

The 1785 is programmed from the factory in "Combo
Mode". Combo mode means that the unit provides both
compass readings as well as detecting laser/radar signals.
Through the "Option Select Mode" (page 16) or the
"Mode" button, the unit can be changed to operate in
Radar Mode (detection of all police bands and laser (no
compass) or Compass Mode (no detection of police laser
radar). Note: The unit must be calibrated to provide accu-
rate compass readings. See Compass Calibration Set-up
section on page 9.
