Safety Warning System® (sws™) Alerts With the Safety Warning System® feature on and an sws™ transmitter in use, your detector will provide a unique, 2 second sws™ tone coupled with a Safety Warning System® category word (i.e."Ha z d Zo n e " indicating Highway Hazard Zone Advisory) to quickly orient you to the type of situation ahead. This introductory message is followed by a specific Text Message (i.e."SHARP CURVE AHEAD") and Digital Voice Message which is repeated twice. After the Digital Voice, the unit will continue to present the message and provide the "clicking" tone for as long as an sws™ signal is detected. If two separate sws™ messages are received, each message is presented twice before the "clicking" resumes. You can replay the last sws™ message received by pressing the drk button within 30 seconds of receiving an sws™ alert. Both Digital Voice and Text Message are replayed. If you have selected "SWSt o n e " (Digital Voice off), your unit will show just the Text Message (see Selectable Features, page 9). Note-the end of a multiple word sws™ message is indicated by an asterisk. Abbreviated sws™ Category Words "H w y Wo r k " confirms Highway Construction/Maintenance (messages 1-11) "Ha z d Zo n e " confirms Highway Hazard Zone Advisory (messages 13-31) "We a t h e r " confirms Weather Related Hazards (messages 33-41) " Tr a v I n f o " confirms Travel Information/Convenience (messages 43-59) 
