OPERATION

City/City 1/City 2 Mode

Whistler's Three Stage City Mode is designed to
reduce the annoyance of automatic door open-
ers, intrusion alarms and other devices which share fre-
quencies with police radar. Generally, X band is
used for these devices.
• Press City to cancel Highway mode and
engage City.
• Press City again to enter City 1 Mode
- display shows 'C1 Lo X'. (XTR 425/560)
• Press City again to enter City 2 Mode
- display shows 'C2 No X' (XTR 425/560)
• Pressing City a fourth time cancels City 2 Mode
and returns the unit to Highway Mode.
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signal
give an initial alarm of two beeps, and then
remains quiet unless the signal becomes very
strong. When the signal strength increases, two
additional beeps are provided. City 1 and City 2
Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but
in City 1 Mode, only the X band sensitivity is low-
ered. In City 2 Mode, X-band is not detected.
Caution: Some towns/small cities may still be
using X band radar. City Modes do not change
the audio alert for laser or VG-2.
Engaging/Disengaging VG-2
See Option Select Mode to turn this feature
on/off. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the VG-2
alert is sounded and the display flashes "VG-2".
After 3 seconds the audio is canceled and the
display no longer flashes. This cycle is repeated
if the VG-2 signal is again detected. During the
period a VG-2 signal is detected, a radar signal
cannot be detected. However, because the VG-2
alert has confirmed that a patrol car is nearby,
you are already aware of the potential for speed
monitoring and can adjust your speed according-
ly. Laser detection is not affected while a VG-2
signal is detected.
