5.3.3 Key sound volume/switch

The switch on the left can turn the key sounds on or off. Key sounds are audible

confirmations of either pressing hardware buttons or tapping the touch screen. When

key sounds are turned on, the slider on the right will adjust their loudness. In its

leftmost position the key sounds are suppressed, in its rightmost position they are

played at the master volume level.

Note: The sound effects of Uniden Navigation are context sensitive. They will be

different if, for example you open or close a window, or you enable or disable a

setting. They will even let you know if you have entered enough letters of a street

name to have a short list of matching streets on the screen.

5.3.4 Dynamic Volume

When driving at high speed, the noise in the car may be too loud to clearly

understand the voice guidance messages and to perceive the key sounds. Using

Dynamic Volume you can instruct Uniden Navigation to increase the volume when

your speed exceeds a certain minimum, and reach its highest volume (determined by

the Master volume slider in Sound settings) at the given maximum speed.

Tap the Dynamic Volume button to turn on the feature. This will also open the screen

where you can set the minimum and maximum speeds.

5.3.5 Attention Tone

If this is set to Disabled, the voice guidance will sound without a preceding

attention tone. Setting it to Single Tone will initiate a single attention tone before the

instructions, while Double Tone will use a double tone.

Note: The Mute function (Page 34) accessible from the map screens overrides the

settings on this screen. When Uniden Navigation is muted, all sounds disappear.

These settings will not be changed; only the output will be muted temporarily.
