Feature Engaged Confirmation
Each time a button is pressed one beep confirms feature
“on”, two beeps confirm feature “off”.
Self Test Mute (1734 Only)
Simply press the Quiet button during the
self-test sequence to cancel the self-test audio. This

Setting Saver (1734 Only)
Setting Saver saves your personalized

them.
Auto Quiet Mode
Pressing QUIET before a radar signal is
detected provides an alternate alert pattern,
consisting of four beeps (indicating X, K, Ka or Safety
Radar) followed by clicking. The clicking will continue
for as long as the detected signal is present or any
new signal is detected within 20 seconds, becoming
more rapid as the strength of the signal increases.
Note: 1734 will go to volume level 1 instead of clicking. If

unit is alarming will cancel the beeps or clicking.
Pressing QUIET a second time when the unit is
notalarming will cancel Auto Quiet mode and
restore the continuous audio alert pattern.
