how do you turn on the scanning dots and what does it do
Hold both buttons on top to get into the menu......then one of the buttons changes the option while the other scolls to the next option.
Ya its just a scanning dot that goes across the screen.....looks cool, thats how I have mine set!
Also.........read the users manual it would answer this question as well. lol
I enjoyed the scanning dots for about 10 minutes.
Personally, I'd recommend you not have them enabled. I found it pretty distracting. They look absolutely kick ass and all my friends were totally entranced by it (I still turn them on for their benefit occasionally). But, when you have them off, the display remains static until it detects an alert, so you notice the change immediately, which is helpful if you have the radio blasting or other stuff going on. With the dots on, the display is dynamic so I tend to tune it out, which is not good.
I personally like the dots, as said before, its ONE way of letting you know the detector is working. When my X50 froze because of heat, the dots stopped moving. Without them I would not have known until it was to late.
