radar gun as well as relative proximity to the source. With Ka-band,
you will also be notified of the actual Ka-band radar gun frequency

Quad-level IntelliSheild ™ False Signal Rejection: Highway Mode
provides full immediate response to all signals detected. Use this
mode when you are driving on interstate highways.
Automatic door openers operate in X and K-band frequencies. To
minimize unwanted false alerts in an urban environment where
these sources exist, use one of the City Filtering Modes below:
• City X: automatically mutes X-band audible alert
until signal strength reaches level 3 or above.
• City X+K: combined with City X, automatically
mutes K-band audible alert until signal strength
reaches level 2 or above.
• City Plus X+K+Ka: combined with City X+K,
adds filtering to Ka-band.
• City MAX: Maximum filtering against urban
false signal sources.
The City modes can also be adjusted by pressing the City button
for 2 seconds.
IntelliMute ® : IntelliMute allows you to avoid audible alerts you
don't need to hear because you are stopped or moving slowly. By
sensing the RPMs of your engine, IntelliMute knows when you are
at low speed and automatically mutes alerts. You can set your
preferred engine RPM activation point and/or turn on/off Intel-
liMute by following simple steps that appear on your unit screen,
under User Settings and then IntelliMute.
