EasySet Programming

All user mode settings on your detector can be changed by using 

Program mode. When changing the settings, please keep in mind:

Buttons can have multiple functions.

All settings will be stored in memory when the power is 

turned Off and recalled when the power is turned back On.

The procedure for using Program mode is shown on page 7.

NOTE

You cannot enter Program mode during an alert. The unit will not detect

signals while in Program mode. During programming, if no buttons are

pushed for ten seconds, the unit will automatically exit Program mode and

save the last settings.

Programming User Modes

The tables on pages 8 through 9 show you how to program all user modes and the

settings you can choose from.

NOTE

On the following pages, you will find more detailed explanations 

of each setting. 
See page 15 for instructions on setting the IntelliMute activation point. See

page 18 for instructions on calibrating the compass. 

See page 23 for instructions on using SmartPower.
