Illumination
The display illumination intensity can be adjusted to suit driving conditions:
n Bright for daytime driving. (Factory default is Bright, then
Display Timeout after 30 seconds.)
n Dim for dusk driving.
n Dimmer for night driving.
n Dark to blank the screen for discreet use. In this mode, alerts will sound,
but not show. (A dot will blink at the center of the screen to indicate the detector is
ON.)
You can adjust the illumination by pressing the Dim
3
button to step through
Display Timeout
Your detector has a Display Timeout mode. When Display Timeout is turned On
(factory default is 30 seconds), the screen will change to Dark from Bright, Dim, or
Dimmer after the time interval selected in Menu mode (see page 13). The Display
Timeout setting can be changed so the display is always On.
NOTE
While at the Dark level under timer control, any alert or touching any button will turn on
the display at the last brightness setting (Bright, Dim, or Dimmer).

IntelliShield Highway/City Modes
•
Your detector is equipped with IntelliShield false signal rejection technology which
consists of a Highway mode and three different levels of City modes: City X, City X
Beep Off and City X+K.
Highway mode provides full response to all signals detected. The City modes reduce
false alerts while you are driving in or near urban areas where there
are many sources for conflicting X or K band signals such as microwave towers
and automatic door openers. The factory setting is Highway. The factory City
mode default setting is City X; it can be changed in Menu mode
(see page 13).
You can toggle between Highway and City modes by pressing the City
4
button.
NOTE
When you change to City mode, the unit will enter whichever city default
mode is set at the time.
Muting an Alert
•
Your detector allows you to quickly turn Off an Audio Alert by momentarily pressing
the Mute
6
button. If you press the Mute
6
button a second time during the alert,
the Audio Alert will be turned back On. After the current alert is gone, the next alert
will be heard.
Two other features are incorporated in your detector to automatically mute
or reduce the audio volume of alerts. See pages 17 and 18 for Intellimute
and Auto Mute modes.
Auxiliary Audio Jack
•
The Auxiliary Audio Jack can be used to connect external speakers in
environments with high ambient noise levels. The internal speaker will
be disconnected. (This uses a mini stereo audio connector.)
