Use the Correct Mode

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’s false alerts to other devices such as automatic door openers, alarm systems and even other radar detectors.

Use Highway Mode for highways

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.

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

AUTO MODE

You can forget about the changing modes with the new Escort and Beltronics GPS enabled radar detectors – Radar Roy

All of the GPS based Radar Detectors offered by both Escort and Beltronics such as the Passport Max, the Escort 9500ix, the Bel PRO 500, the Escort 9500ci and the Passport IQ automatically sense the speed that you are driving and adjust the sensitivity accordingly if switched into auto mode.
