X K Ka Superwide Radar/Front and Rear Laser Detector
(220-1655)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 18224

POWER AND SELF TEST 

To turn on the detector, connect power and turn OFF/VOLUME away from you
until it clicks.

The detector sounds a distinctive tone for each band and lights all
indicators in sequence as a self test.  Then all indicators turn off except
the P (power) indicator.

To turn off the detector, turn OFF/VOLUME toward you until it clicks and
all indicators turn off.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

To change the detector's volume, turn OFF/VOLUME either away from or toward
you.

OPERATING SETTINGS

Your detector has two operating modes: city and highway.  You can also set
the detector to temporarily mute the audio alert and turn off all
indicators except the P (power) indicator.

City Mode

The FCC has allocated X-band signals for non-traffic radar systems such as
intrusion alarms, automobile door openers, and microwave traffic signal
controllers.  Additionally, older or poorly-shielded detectors in other
vehicles can sometimes transmit weak radar signals.  The city mode reduces
the detector's sensitivity to weak X-, K-, and Ka-band signals.  This
eliminates responses to most false sources.

To select the city mode, press CITY/HWY until the C indicator turns on.

When you select the city mode, the detector's audio alert and signal
strength meter will not alert you unless it receives a strong X-, K-, or
Ka-band signal.  The city mode has no effect on laser signals.

Highway Mode

The highway mode provides maximum sensitivity for open-road driving.  To
select the highway mode, press CITY/HWY until the C indicator turns off.

Muting the Audio Alert

To temporarily silence the detector at any time, press MUTE until the M
indicator turns on.

NOTE:  Mute has no effect on laser alerts.

You can also press MUTE while the audio alert is sounding to silence it.

Turning Off the Display

To temporarily turn off all indicators except P, press DARK.  The P
indicator remains on to let you know the detector is receiving power.  The
detector's audio alert remains active unless you pressed MUTE.  To return
to the normal full indications, press DARK again.  The full laser alert
signal appears, even if you have turned off the display.

RECEIVING AND IDENTIFYING RADAR AND LASER SIGNALS

When you first turn on your detector, it sounds different alert tones in
the following order: X, K, Ka, and Laser.

When your detector senses a laser or radar signal, it responds with both
audible and visible alarms.  The audible  and visible alarms are different
for each type of radar signal received.  In addition, the signal strength
meter lights more indicators for stronger signals.  The audible alert tone
pulse rate also increases with signal strength.

When the detector receives a laser signal, it flashes all signal strength
meter indicators and both X and K indicators at the same time, and sounds a
continuous laser alert.

When your detector senses instant-on radar, it immediately flashes all of
the signal strength meter's lights and sounds three beeps three times
within 2 seconds.  Then the detector sounds continuous beeps until you pass
the radar source.  The instant-on radar detection circuit operates in both
the highway and city modes, and overrides the mute mode.

NOTE:  If you set the detector to the city mode and dim the display by
       pressing DARK, the detector might not give an audible or visible
       alarm while receiving a weak radar signal.
