Controls and Features
Power On/Off
To turn the RX65 on, press the PWR button
on the left side of the top case. When you
turn the RX65 on, it goes through a
sequence of alerts.
If you prefer, you may program your
RX65 for a shorter power-on sequence. See
the Programming section for details.
Voice
The RX65 has our Digital Voice feature,
which provides a digital voice
announcement of the band being detecting.
If you prefer, you can turn the Digital
Voice feature off in programming. See
Programming section for details.
Power-on indication
After RX65’s start-up sequence is complete,
the alphanumeric display will show
Highway, City, or AutoScan to indicate
which sensitivity mode is selected.
If you prefer, you can select alternate
power-on displays. See the Programming
section for details.
AutoMute
Your RX65 has our patented AutoMute
feature. After RX65 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.
Volume / Mute Button
To adjust the alert tone volume, press and
hold the Volume/Mute bar located on the
top case.
The Mute button, located on RX65’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 Volume/Mute
button. After that radar encounter has
passed, the mute will automatically reset
and the audio will alert you to the next
encounter.
Highway / AutoScan / City Switch
The City button selects RX65’s sensitivity
mode. We recommend the AutoScan mode
for most driving.
RX65’s AutoScan mode provides long-
range warning, with minimum false alarms.
In this mode, RX65’s internal computer
continuously analyzes all incoming signals
and intelligently adjusts the sensitivity.
8
You can also select conventional
Highway and City modes. 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. You can customize RX65’s City
mode sensitivity. See the Programming
section for details.
Brightness Button
RX65’s BRT button selects the brightness of
RX65’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, RX65 changes to a very
inconspicuous power-on indication: a very
BRT AD, HD, or CD. (In this display, the A,
H, or C indicates AutoScan, Highway, or
City, and the D indicates Dark.)
When RX65 is in the Dark mode, the
display will not show visual alerts when
RX65 detects signals. Only the audible alert
will tell you of detected signals.
Audible Alerts
For Radar signals:
RX65 uses a Geiger-counter-like sound
to indicate the signal strength and type of
radar signal being encountered.
When you encounter radar, a distinct
audible alert will sound and occur faster as
the signal gets stronger. This allows you to
judge the distance from the signal source
without taking your eyes from the road.
Each band has a distinct tone for easy
identification.
X-band = chirping tone
K-band = buzzing tone
Ka-band = double-chirp tone
Ku-band = high pitched buzzing tone
For Laser signals:
Since laser signals are a possible threat
no matter how weak, RX65 alerts you to all
laser signals with a full laser alert.
For Safety signals:
RX65 will alert you to these signals
with a double-buzz tone (and digital voice if
programmed) with a corresponding text
message. A complete listing of the text
messages is on page 23.
