turn Off or unplug your detector when parking for lengthy periods.

Setting your detector to
Low or Medium
sensitivity delays the audio alerts
for weak X band and K band signals until they become stronger. (A single beep
will sound when the signal is first detected.) Also, additional filtering is done to
reduce false alerts while you are driving in, or near, urban areas where there are
many sources for conflicting X and K band signals such as microwave towers and
automatic door openers.
