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. 

City X

mode sounds a single beep when the signal is first

detected. 

City X Beep Off

mode prevents all X band audio alerts until the signal

strength reaches Level 3. 

City X+K

mode combines the City X mode with

prevention of K band audio alerts until the signal strength reads Level 2. This will

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.

Setting City Default

You can set the default level for City mode (

City X, City X Beep Off and 

City X+K

) either in Program mode or directly using the 

Set/City

button.
