This feature is used to legalize the device for use in countries where the radar detectors are prohibited. The detector stops alerting to radars and C lasers. Only your current speed will appear on the display and all radar and laser detection settings will disappear from the menu. When enter- ing the radar settings submenu, a notification of deactivated functions F will appear.

To activate the Speedmeter, the detector must be turned ON, hold down the “brightness control” and “change sensitivity” buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. To deactivate the speedmeter function, it is necessary to B A D update the detector in the usual way and all functions will be fully func- tional again, for help with updating continue to page 15.
