EZ-Programming
There are 9 user-selectable options so you can
customize your Solo S3 for your own preferences.
The Mode button (“M”) and the “VOL” buttons (up
or down arrows) are used to enter the programming,
REVIEW your current program settings, and to
CHANGE any settings as desired. The letters “PGM”
(program), RVW (review), and CHG (change) are
located on the front of the detector, and are
highlighted in blue graphics. Pages
16-19 explain
each option in more detail.
How to use EZ-Programming
1 To enter Program Mode, press and hold either
of the “VOL” (up or down) buttons, and the “M”
(mode) down for 2 seconds. The unit will beep
twice, and will display the word “Program.”
2 Then press the RVW button to review the
current settings. You can either tap the button to
change from item to item, or press and hold the
button to scroll through the items.
3 Press the CHG button to change any setting.
You can either tap the button to change from
setting to setting, or hold the button to scroll
through all the options.
4 To leave the Program Mode, simply wait 8
seconds without pressing any button. The unit
will display Complete, beep 4 times, and return
to normal operation.
To quickly reset Solo S3 to the factory program
settings, press and hold the Mute and M (Mode)

Example of EZ-Programming
Here is how you would turn Solo S3’s AutoMute
feature off.
1 Enter the Program Mode by holding one of the
VOL buttons and “M” (mode) button down for 2
seconds. Solo S3 will beep twice and display
“Program.”
2 Then hold the RVW button down. Solo S3 will
scroll through the categories, starting with Pilot
options, Auto-Power, Power-On sequence, Signal
Strength Meter, AutoMute, Tones, City sensitivity,
Brightness, and Bands.
3 Release the RVW button when Solo S3 shows the
AutoMute item. Since the factory setting is for
AutoMute to be on, Solo S3 will display “aMute
ON.” (If you accidentally go to the next category,
press the opposite “VOL” button to go back.)
4 Press the CHG button to change from “aMuteON”
to “aMuteOFF.”
5 To complete the Programming, simply wait 8
seconds without pressing any button. Solo S3 will
display Complete, beep 4 times, and return to
normal operation.
