Setting your detector to City mode delays all X band audio alerts until the 

signal strength reaches Level 3. (A single beep will sound when the signal is 

first detected.) This will reduce false alerts while you are driving in, or near, 

urban areas where there are many sources for conflicting X band signals such 

as microwave towers and automatic door openers. 
To change settings, follow the procedure listed below, which indicates what 

you will see and hear (either in Voice Alert or Tone Alert mode) as you
