 (

), 

and

 

City No X & K

  

(

)

 Modes. These modes are designed to maximize 

performance while reducing false alerts.

Highway

 

Mode is recommended when riding on open roadways where 

interference with the

 

Detector Unit 

occurs less frequently.

Highway No X 

and

 Highway No X & K

 

Modes are identical to

 

Highway

 

Mode with the exception that it ignores incoming

business areas where interference is common. In this mode, the

 

Detector 

Unit

 

will provide an initial double beep and flash to alert you that it has 

detected a signal. It will then remain alert-less until the detected signal 
reaches four or more bars in strength. Most false alerts are weak in 
strength and this

 

Anti-Annoying™

 

feature is designed to cut down on the 

amount of unnecessary alerts.

City No X
