Fuse Replacement

The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable
2 amp 3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To
replace the fuse, carefully unscrew the tip of the plug.

IMPORTANT:

Unscrew slowly. The tip

contains a spring which may fly out when
disassembling. Insert the new fuse with the spring and

20 seconds, 2 beeps are provided on any new alert,

and the unit then remains quiet.

standard audio alert pattern; or turn the unit off, then on.

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 II and City IIII

Modes operate the same as Highway Mode, but

in City II Mode, only the X band sensitivity is

lowered. In City IIII 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 or VG-2.

Highway Mode

Highway mode provides full audio warnings any time
radar (X, K, Ka, Safety Radar) or laser signals are
detected, and is recommended for open road driving.
