City/City 1/City 2 Mode

Whistler’s Three Stage City Mode is designed to

reduce the annoyance of automatic door

openers, intrusion alarms and other devices which

share frequencies with police radar. Generally, X

band is used for these devices.
• Press City button to cancel Highway Mode

and engage City Mode.

• Press City button again to enter City 1 Mode

• Press City button again to enter City 2 Mode

• Press City button 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 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.
