Low Profile Alert Periscopes

added attention getting visual alert. The two extra
LED’s flash on and off when the unit alarms to
provide a unique visual alert. This alert can be
programmed through the Option Select Mode to
be: ON, OFF, or FLASHING during alerts.
City/City 1/City 2 Modes

reduce the annoyance of automatic door

• Press City a fourth time to cancel City 2 Mode
and return the unit to Highway Mode.
In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals
give an initial alarm of two beeps, and then
remains quiet unless the signal becomes very
strong. When the signal strength increases, two
additional beeps are provided. City 1 and City 2
Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but
in City 1 Mode, X band requires a stronger
signal to alert. In City 2 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.
