    Short pressing the menu & power button?

    What does short pressing the menu and power button do.

    First press of the menu makes sound but no LED blink. 2nd press LED blinks once, 3rd press LED blinks 3 times.

    Short press power button LED blinks twice press again LED blinks 3 times?

    What do all these mean?

    Please do not mess with anything other than what has been described in the manual and on the forums. There are many hidden service menu's available within the ALP that support uses, You can screw up your ALP if you get into some of these service modes without knowing what you are doing. They are hidden for a reason.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    So by fog lights do they mean jamming capability?

    I pressed the menu button by accident and I didn't know what I did.

    So by pressing the menu button once you "disable fog lights" does this give me the ability to KBJ?

    During an alert any button will Kill the Jammer when pressed. When in standbuy a short press on the power button turns the parking sensor feature on or off. Long press turns the unit unit.

    Yes but what does short pressing the menu button do when you are not in an alert? The manual says fog light on/off.

    We dont use the Fog Lights in the ALP Sensors. That was only for users that had old R9 Fog Lamps. It will not have any effect without those heads attached.

    Please forgive my ignorance but, I have been operating under the belief that when the ALP is alerting a short press of the power button only mutes the alert but, does not stop the defense function. I thought it required a long press of the power button to completely turn of the jamming action by powering down the unit. I know you can press either the power button or menu button during an alert to disable the defense mode. I'm just not sure how long to press either button.

    I was actually lit up for the first time by a LEO a few days ago (PL3).I'll save the details for another thread but, I JTK'd and, he never made a run at me. Chalk up another win for the ALP. But, after the initial hit, in expert mode, I short pressed the power button at first. The Redline then went crazy with another hit. Funny because the high mounted Redline is about a 50/50 proposition when any part of the front of my vehicle is targeted by laser. I then long pressed the power button and the ALP went off. One more short laser alert on the Redline then no other alerts till I passed the LEO. I was at the PL +5 at the first hit so, I just lifted off the gas, no drama.

    Short power press during an alert will mute and kill automatically. Long press will shut entire system down.
