How do you mark a location?
To mark a particular location, press the "MRK" button. The display will read: "Mark?" Press the "MRK" button again to assign a label to it. There are four (4) labels: Red Light, Speed Camera, Speed Trap and Other. To scroll through the labels, simply press the volume (+) or (-) buttons until you reach the desired label. Once you've selected the label, press the "MRK" button again to confirm.
How do you lock out a false alert?
To lock out a false alert, (X, K or Laser only) press the mute button three (3) times on the detector during the alert. Pressing the mute button the first time will silence the audio. Pressing it a second time will generate a prompt on the display that will read: "Lockout?" Pressing it a third time will confirm that you want to lock this signal out by location and frequency. A "Stored" message will then be displayed.
