Controls and Features Power To turn your V940 on or off, press the PWR button located on the top.When you turn your V940 on, it goes through a sequence of alerts. If you prefer, you may program your V940 for a shorter power-on sequence. See the Programming section for details. Volume Press and hold the Volume/Mute button located on the top case to adjust the V940's alert volume level.The audio will ramp up and down, accompanied by a bar-graph on the display. Once you've reached your preferred audio level, simply release the button. Power-on indication After the V940's start-up sequence is complete, the alphanumeric display will show Highway or City to indicate which sensitivity mode is selected. If you prefer, you can select alternate power-on displays. See the Programming section for details. Voice Alerts The V940 provides digital voice announcements of radar and laser bands detected. If Safety Radar (SWS) is turned on, a safety radar message will also be announced. See the Programming section for details. If you prefer, you can turn Voice Alerts off. See Programming section for details. AutoMute Your V940 has our patented AutoMute feature.After the V940 alerts you to a radar encounter at the volume you have selected, the AutoMute feature will automatically reduce the volume to a lower level.This keeps you informed without the annoyance of a continuous full-volume alert. If you prefer, you can turn the AutoMute feature off. See the Programming section for details. Mute The Mute button, located on the V940's top case, allows you to silence the audio alert during a radar encounter. To mute the audio for a single specific signal,briefly press the Mute button.After that radar encounter has passed, the mute will automatically reset and the audio will alert you to the next encounter. 8 Highway / City Button The City button selects the V940's sensitivity mode.We recommend the Highway mode for most driving. When driving in urban areas where annoying X-band intrusion alarms and door openers are common, City mode can be engaged to lower X-band sensitivity and reduce X-band alerts. Full sensitivity is maintained on all other bands. See the Programming section for details. Brightness The V940's BRT button selects the brightness of your V940's display.There are four settings: Maximum, Medium, Minimum, and Dark. Press the BRT button to select your preferred brightness. Dark Mode When you select the Dark mode with the BRT switch, your V940 changes to a very inconspicuous power-on indication: a very Dim HD or CD. (In this display, the H or C indicates Highway or City, and the D indicates Dark.) When the V940 is in the Dark mode, the display will not show visual alerts when V940 detects signals. Only the audible alert will tell you of detected signals. 9
