Display reads:

In City Mode, weak speed/safety radar signals give an initial

alarm of two beeps, and then the unit remains quiet unless

the signal becomes very strong. When the signal strength

increases, two additional beeps are provided. In City 1

Mode, only the X band sensitivity is lowered. In City 2 Mode,

X-band is not detected. CAUTION: Some towns/small cities

may still be using X band radar.

If Auto Quiet is engaged in City 1 or City 2 modes and the

unit receives a strong radar signal, the unit performs the Auto

Quiet feature. City Modes do not change the audio alert for

laser or VG-2.
