Selection
When rotated, this control provides detection range
adjustment of the first alert between 3 and 2.125
seconds. Function may be configured to prevent
range adjustment control. Accident Reconstruction is
initiated by pushing and holding this knob for 5
seconds thereby freezing the most recent data in half
of the allocated memory.

Light Sensor
Photo sensor that senses ambient lighting and
adjusts intensity of the indicator lights accordingly
(i.e., increases brightness of indicator lights in
daytime and decreases brightness of indicator lights
at nighttime).

Red, Accompanied
with Yellow and
Orange
This indicator illuminates when an object is detected
at <1 second with vehicle opening and no tone with
vehicle closing accompanied by audible tones. At a
1/2 second or less following interval opening and
closing, the tones are repeated, twice per second.

Orange,
Accompanied with
Yellow
This indicator illuminates when an object is detected
within a 3 second interval of vehicle opening or
closing, 1 to 2 seconds following interval with vehicle
opening and no tone, and 1 to 2 seconds following
interval with vehicle closing accompanied by a tone.
8
Yellow
This indicator illuminates when an object is detected
within the system’s maximum range. Maximum range
is 350 feet on straight roads and is reduced on curved
roads by the road turn radius. It also illuminates when
the proximity alarm threshold is crossed.
