When Auto Mute is on, it automatically reduces the audio volume of all alerts
after they have sounded for four seconds. The signals will remain muted for
as long as the signal is detected. When Auto Mute is off, the alerts will sound
at full volume for as long as the signal is detected. The factory setting for

Voice or Tone Mode
You can set your detector to sound alerts and confirm program settings with
either a Voice or a Tone Alert. Voice Alert provides voice messages in addition

to tones. Tone Alert provides tones only. The factory setting is Voice Alert.
Compass Mode
Your detector includes an internal 8-point Compass that
can continuously display your current direction of travel:
N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW.
Before the Compass will work, it must be
calibrated (see page 17). Calibration allows
the Compass electronics to measure and
store information about the magnetic fields
generated by your vehicle so direction
indications will be accurate. The factory
setting is Compass off.
A Compass icon and directional heading will appear in the display when
the Compass is on and calibrated.
The Compass will remain accurately calibrated as long as your detector is
mounted in the same place in your vehicle. If you change the location where
the unit is mounted or move it to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the
Compass. You should also recalibrate the Compass if you suspect it is
providing inaccurate directions.
The Compass temporarily may not provide accurate readings if you are
inside a building or enclosure, or are close to a large metal tractor/trailer,
truck, or train. Once you are away from such a location, the Compass will
work correctly again.
