When changing the

Each time the unit is turned

On

the factory settings of

Highway

mode delays all X band audio alerts at lower

signal strength levels. (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 listed below, which indicates
what you will see and hear as you complete each step. The factory setting
is
