acceleration or deceleration), the display will simply hold the last recorded speed for a few
seconds rather than jumping back and forth between speeds. A couple of examples:
Example 1:
If a vehicle is traveling at 35mph and the car behind him is traveling
at 40mph, the sign will display the first vehicle at 35 until it passes.
The first vehicle’s speed will show for 1-1/2 seconds after it passes,
so the radar can establish and display vehicle two’s speed at 40mph.
Example 2:
If a vehicle accelerates towards the sign from a stop at greater than 3
miles per hour per second, no speed will be displayed. If a vehicle
accelerates at 3 miles per hour per second or less, the sign will display
the speed as it increases.
10. ADVANCED FEATURES
In addition to the standard features there are some advanced features available mainly for
trouble shooting.
To enter the Advanced Feature mode, turn the unit ON and press the programming button
five (5) times before the intensity number blinks. First an “A” will appear on the left digit
and a number on the right. Press the programming button until the appropriate number is
shown for that slot. Wait for a “B” to appear and repeat this for “C” and “D” as well. This
will put you into that mode until the unit is turned off and back on again. See below a list of
codes and slots for these advanced features.

Minimum Speed Mode
Lower speeds of 5 mph are distracting in most applications but are desirable in some. As a
default, the display will only show down to 5 mph but down to 1 mph is available. Putting
in the minimum speed code will turn on and off the down to one mode. If after putting in
the minimum speed code, the display shows “S1” then the speed will show down to 1 mph.
If “S5” shows then the speed will only show down to 5 mph.
Alternate Slow Violator Alert Mode
The display can show the “Slow” violator alert two ways. One is that only “Slow” is shown
if the vehicle speed is over that set speed. The other is that the “Slow” will show and then
the vehicle speed will display, alternating between the two until the vehicle slows below the
set speed. Both are very effective but one could be preferred above the other. The default is
just “Slow”. To switch from one or the other, put in the code and if the display shows “On”
then only the “Slow” message will display. If after the code is put in and “Off” shows then
the display will alternate between “Slow” and their speed.
