Use the Correct Mode

Page 6 - Use the correct mode!

"You'll go crazy listening to false alerts if you don't Use the correct mode." - Radar Roy

Use City Mode for city

When driving in the city, switch your radar detector over to city mode. This will reduce the sensitivity of the radar detector (usually on X band only) or leave the sensitivity unchanged and raise the threshold of the unit, when the audio alerts sound.

By doing this, you will significantly reduce the number of false alerts your radar detector will receive. Hopefully you will have a more relaxed driving experience without having to listen to your radar detector false alerts to other devices such as automatic door openers, alarm systems and even other radar detectors.

Use Highway Mode for highways

"You will significantly reduce your radar detector's effectiveness if you don't use Highway Mode for highway driving." - Radar Roy

When you activate highway mode on your radar detector:

When you activate highway mode on your radar detector:
- You increase the sensitivity of your radar detector to receive at its maximum range
- Your detector's audio alerts are restored for low signal strength encounters
- Your detector is at maximum performance and more likely to warn you of threats ahead on the roadway, including instant-on radar.

If you detector is equipped with Auto Mode, it should detect that it is being operated on the highway. However, Radar Roy recommends that for maximum performance, manually set the detector to highway mode when traveling on the open road.

For the VERY BEST range on the highway, always use Highway Mode!
