  •  S.D.Dim: Reduced brightness
  • S.D.Dimmer: Further reduced brightness

Mute Mode

1. Pressing the MUTE button during an alert will temporarily mute the detected signal and will automatically unmute 20 seconds after the signal has passed, or if a new or different signal has been detected.
2.  Pressing the MUTE button without an alert will permanently mute the radar detector on X and K bands until manually unmuted or after a new startup cycle.

Mute Mode: Auto

1. Auto Mute Mode is selectable and reduces the alert volume by 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, or
   80%. The default is 40%.
2.  Radar bands (X, K, and Ka) and POI limit speed: current volume level stays for the first 3 seconds after the alert begins, afterwards, it’s reduced to the selected Auto Mute level. Auto Mute is not applicable to laser alerts.
3. Auto Mute ends 10 seconds after the alert ends. If the same radar frequency is detected or begins within 10 seconds, the radar detector keeps Auto Mute active.
4. If a different radar band is detected or begins while Auto Mute is active, Auto Mute will be disabled and will revert back to the current volume level.
