additional beeps are provided. City I I and City I I I I
Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but
in City I I Mode, only the X band sensitivity is
lowered. In City I I I I 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.
Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio warnings any time
radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser signals are
detected, and is recommended for open road driving.
