RLC Auto Mute

If the current speed is slower than the speed set by the user in RLC Auto Mute, the alert for Red Light Camera and Red & Speed Camera will be muted.

Lockouts

The user can mute the frequency at a specific location during X or K band alerts. If the same frequency (X, K band: +/- 10 MHz) is detected at the same location, X and K alerts will mute, and the display will show 'Lockout' in green at the lower right corner until the DS1 is out of the 500 m radius.

Lockout Range

Entry: approximately 450 m
Exit: approximately 500 m
If both Lockout and Auto Lockout are detected simultaneously, the display will show "Lockout."

To save a lockout

1. When X or K alerts, press [MUTE] to mute voice and beep alerts.
2. Press [MUTE] again to store the current location and frequency of the false alert. The display and voice will say "Lockout Stored."
3. If the lockout is saved properly, the display will show "Lockout" in green in the lower right corner until the DS1 is out of the 500 m radius.
4. If the user exceeds 5000 lockouts, the oldest lockout will be deleted and replaced with the newest lockout.

To Delete a Lockout

1. When the DS1 receives a lockout signal, "Lockout" will appear in green in the bottom right corner.
2. While "Lockout" is displayed, press [MUTE]. The voice and display will say "Delete Lockout?"
3. Press [MUTE] again to delete. The voice and display will confirm that the lockout was deleted.

If the DS1 cannot save a Lockout due to an issue receiving the GPS location, the voice will say "GPS Error."

Delete All Lockouts

Select "Delete All Lockouts" in the menu and press [MENU] to confirm.

User Point Alert

When a User Point is detected, the voice announces ("User Point Ahead") and shows the User Point display.

User Point Alert Range

Entry: approximately 450 m
Exit: approximately 500 m

To Save a User Point

Press [MUTE] for 2 seconds to save a User Point. A User Point cannot be saved during a User Point alert. The user can save a maximum of 500 points.

To Delete a User Point

During a User Point alert, press [MUTE] for over 2 seconds to delete the User Point.

Delete All User Points

If the user selects "Delete All User Point?" in the menu, all User Points will be deleted.

To Delete Speed, Red Light, Speed & Red Light Camera

During a Speed Camera, Red Light Camera, or Speed & Red Light Camera Alert, press [MUTE] for over 1 second to delete the camera alert.

Auto Lockouts

If the same signal (X Band: +/-10MHz, K Band: +/-10MHz) is detected at the same location three times (1st + 2nd + 3rd), the DS1 will automatically lock the signal out as a false alert. Once a signal is saved in Auto mute memory (the 1st count), the DS1 will not save the same signal for 8 hours, even if detected again. This means it takes at least 16 hours (1st + 2nd + 3rd) to automatically lock a signal out. The 8-hour interval is to prevent saving too many signals in Auto mute memory. The DS1 can store 16,500 Auto Lockout points. The user can set the radius using Auto Lockout and Pin Home. If both Lockout and Auto Lockout are detected simultaneously, the display shows "Lockout" as a priority.

Auto Lockout Range

Entry: approximately 450 m
Exit: approximately 500 m

Delete All Auto Lockouts

If "Delete All Auto Lockout?" is chosen in the menu, all Auto Lockouts will be deleted.

K-notch

The DS1 will mute the alert voice when K Band is within the specified K-notch ranges. The display will turn gray and show "K-notch" in green if the K-notch display setting is on. If K-notch is set to "Blk all signals," the DS1 will not alert for any signals within the range. If K-notch is set to "Blk weak signals," the DS1 will not alert for weaker signals within the range but will still alert for stronger signals of the same frequencies.

Current K-notch ranges:
24.199 +/- 0.005 Ghz
24.121-24.124 Ghz

City Mode

Threat Display

Threat display shows up to 3 radar bands detected simultaneously. The display prioritizes laser alerts, then MRCD, Ka, K, and X (in that order).

Bogey Tone

If another frequency is detected during an X, K, or Ka Band Alert, the DS1 sounds the Bogey Tone, and then the band alert continues.

Auto Mute Mode

Selectable (On/Off)

1. When a Radar (X, K, and Ka) alert starts, the DS1 alerts for the duration set in the Auto Mute Start Option (1, 2, or 3 seconds). After Auto Mute is triggered, the volume reduces by the Auto Mute Vol Option Percentage.
2. Auto Mute ends 10 seconds after the alert ends. If the same radar is detected within 10 seconds, the unit keeps Auto Mute On.
3. Auto Mute is not applicable to Laser alerts.
4. If the current volume level is 0, the DS1 maintains the current volume level.

Auto Dim Mode

The DS1 has a light sensor to determine when the detector should use Bright settings (daylight) and when it should use Dim settings (nighttime). The brightness adjusts to Bright or Dimmer based on the surrounding light.

Auto Power Mode

1. If the DS1 detects its speed is 0 or cannot receive GPS location data for the set time (15 min or 30 min), the Auto Power Off alert will sound for 10 seconds before powering off the detector.
2. The Auto Power Off function stops if any button is pressed during the Auto Power Off alert.
3. Brightness is automatically set to Bright.

Power Cord Alert LED

1. The Power Cord Alert LED turns on with the power.
2. The Power Cord Alert LED blinks during laser or radar (X, K, Ka) alerts.
3. The Power Cord Alert LED blinks slowly when the speed of laser or radar (X, K, Ka) alerts beeping sound is slowing and blinks fast when the speed of the laser or radar alert beeping sound increases.

Power Cord Mute Button

The Power Cord Mute button operates the same as the built-in [MUTE] button of the DS1 unit.

Software Update

The DS1 can be updated using Windows. Software updates include updates to red light and speed camera databases, as well as new features. Radenso recommends updating the detector every few months for the best user experience. A step-by-step guide for updating the detector is available at radenso.com under the Support Menu.
