Radar Detector  (220-1646)       Operation       Faxback Doc. # 6230

Power and Self Test

To turn on the radar detector, connect power and tap P/V.  The radar
detector sounds a distinctive tone for each band as a self test and
lights the signal-strength indicators.

To Turn off the radar detector, tap P/V again.

NOTE:  When you turn off the detector, it stores your last volume and
       mode selections.

Adjusting the Volume

To change the radar detector's volume, press and hold down P/V.  The
detector sounds a tone and lights the signal strength meter to indicate
the relative volume level.

Operating Settings

The radar detector has two operating modes:  highway and city.  You can
also set the radar detector to mute.

Highway Mode

The highway mode provides maximum sensitivity for open-road driving.  If
you have pressed CTY to select the city mode, press CTY again to return
to highway mode.  The C indicator turns off.

City Mode

The FCC has allocated X-band for non-traffic radar systems such as
intrusion alarms, automatic door openers, and microwave traffic signal
controllers.  The city mode reduces the audio annoyance created by non-
traffic radar signals.

To select the city mode, press CTY.  The C indicator turns on.

When you select city mode, the radar detector requires a stronger X-band
signal before it sounds an alert tone.  The signal strength indicators
continue to react immediately to X-band signals to keep you quietly
informed.  The city mode setting has no effect on K or super wideband Ka
signals.

Audio Modes

While the audio alert is sounding, you can press AUD to temporarily
silence the radar detector.  The radar detector returns to normal
operation after the radar signal stops.

You can change the alert tone to sound several X, K, or Ka tones followed
by muted clicking by pressing AUD when no alert is sounding.  The
clicking becomes more rapid as the radar signal strength increases.
