When changing the settings on your
ESD-9230 WX, please keep in mind:
• Buttons can have multiple functions.
• Depending on your choice of Voice Alert™
or Tone Alert mode, you will hear either
voice messages or tones confirming
changes in settings.
• All settings will be stored in memory
when the power is turned off and recalled
when the power is turned back on.
Highway/City Mode
Setting your ESD-9230 WX to City mode
delays all X band audio alerts until the
signal strength reaches level 3. (A single
beep will sound when the signal is first
detected.) This will reduce false alerts while
you are driving in or near urban areas
where there are many sources for conflicting
X band signals such as microwave towers
and automatic door openers.
To change settings, follow the procedure in
the table below, which indicates what you
will see and hear (either in Voice Alert™ or
Tone Alert mode) as you complete each step.
The factory setting is Highway mode.
