The detector will alert you with an audible and visual
warning before it shuts off.

OPERATION

Teach/Tutorial Mode

Provides simulated alerts for each type of signal.
• Press City and Quiet simultaneously and release.
• Press Power to cancel.
X/K Filter Modes
Recently, many new products operate on X or K band causing
nuisance alerts to radar detectors. Some of these are radar
based Traffic Monitoring Systems mounted to poles alongside
the highway and others are K Band Lane Change Assistants
and Blind Spot Detectors found on some automobiles. The
X/K Filter Mode offers multiple levels of rejection to reduce
false alerts caused by these systems.
Ka Filter Modes
There are times when a radar detector in another vehicle, can
emit a frequency which can cause your detector to falsely
alert. The Ka Filter Modes allow you to select the level
needed for your area to minimize the occurrences of these
false alerts.
Filter 1 Mode is the factory default setting and should provide
adequate filtering for most conditions. If you experience
excessive alerts due to radar detectors in other vehicles,
increase the Filter level. See Option Selection Mode to
change the filter settings.
