When you are at the location, press MARK. The DFR7 announces "User mark logged." Now, when you approach these points, the DFR7 announces "User mark ahead." Press and hold MARK at that location to delete that user mark. The DFR7 holds up to 200 user marks. HIGHWAY VS CITY MODE Radar detectors operate with two sensitivity levels. These levels determine the types of signals and signal ranges (bands) detected. Highway mode is the most sensitive level while City mode is the least sensitive. If the X band is left on in City mode, a radar detector can pick up many X band signals (such as garage door openers) that generate false alerts. The DFR7 turns off the X band for City mode. When you are on the highway, there is less chance of picking up X band false alerts, so the DFR7 keeps the X band on in Highway mode. Press and hold both VOL + and VOL - for at least 1 second to alternate between HIGHWAY and CITY mode. - 11 -
