Best Settings

Knew I read it somewhere...

Yeah, in general that is true but after looking at some of those low-powered K-band videos.... sheesh constant alert comes right after passing the killzone.

[Z1NONLY]

1 down (X band off)
7 down (K-band muting eneabled)
b down (30 second mute time for k-band)
e down (breaks mute if inital alert is 4 dots or stronger.)
f down (breaks mute once any k-band alert gets to 6dots)
j down (pop off)

Make sure you double check the chart on V1's website, but IIRC, these are the settings on my V1.

Hey, while we're all crippling our V1s, lets all pick a random wire in the RJ cord and cut it. Sounds fun, right?!?!

=P Just kidding!

In all seriousness, I am not at all a fan of letting the V1 categorize threats for me. I went about the "automute" feature a little differently...I made a remote mute button and mounted it on my stick-shifter. My hand always rests there, and a swipe of my thumb mutes alerts. I've gotten to the point where I find my thumb hovering over the mute button when I come up to known falses. Blinder, if you want I'd be happy to make you one free of charge. Just PM me your address. It's not pro work, but it's clean enough.

Alright..Just installed V1 and concealed display...Setting I used are:
1 down (X band off)
7 down (K-band muting eneabled)
b up
c down } (20 second mute time for k-band)
d up
e down (breaks mute if inital alert is 4 dots or stronger.)
f down (breaks mute once any k-band alert gets to 6dots)
j down (pop off)

Since you're probably a hobbyist with this stuff, consider the suggestion of a remote mute switch too -- being able to ack an alert by tapping a mute button closeby is another powerful technique for preventing your V1 from breaking the silence without losing awareness.

I just took a 10 mile drive and understand arrows when they are solid but what does it mean when say the forward arrow flashes?

[FoolishOne]

With only 1 arrow lit, the arrow is solid.
When there are 2 arrows lit up, how do you know which one to pay attention to? The flashing one. Flashing means the computer thinks that it is the strongest/more significant alert.

Thanks...I have read the manual but there is so much info!!

[FoolishOne]

You are right in the fact that there is a TON of info in it.

With the settings you have the V1 should be alot more quiet especially in city. The longer you have V1 the more you fall in love with the arrows.
