Auto Mute Mode
When Auto Mute is On, the audio volume of all alerts is automati-
cally reduced after 4 seconds. The signals will remain muted for as
long as the signal is detected. When Auto Mute is Off, the alerts will
sound at full volume for as long as the signal is detected. The factory
setting for Auto Mute is On.
Illumination
The display illumination intensity can be adjusted to suit driving
conditions:
• Bright for daytime driving. (Factory default is Bright, then
Display Timeout after 1 minute).
• Dim for dusk driving.
• Dark to blank the screen for discreet use. In this mode, alerts will
sound but not show. (The display scanner circle will move slowly
back and forth near the bottom of the screen to indicate the unit
is turned On).
You can adjust the illumination by pressing the Dim button and to
step through the levels in the sequence listed above.
Display Timeout
Your detector has a Display Timeout mode. After 1 minute, the
screen will change to Dark from Bright, Dim, or Dimmer. In Display
Timeout mode, the display scanner circle will move slowly back and
forth near the bottom of the screen to indicate the unit is turned On
and detecting.
Note: While at the Dark level under timer control, any alert will turn
the display back on at the last brightness setting (Bright, Dim or
Dimmer). Touching any button will also turn On the the display.
Dim/ Button
SmartPower Mode
Your detector includes the SmartPower feature that, when turned
On, will put the unit into Low Power mode 15 minutes after the car’s
engine has been turned Off.
Before SmartPower enters Low Power mode, you will hear three
beeps and SmartPower will flash on the display. To return the unit
to Normal Power mode and exit Low Power mode, start the car,
press any button or turn the unit Off and then On again. The factory
setting is SmartPower On.
Car Battery Low Voltage Warning
In addition to displaying system voltage, your detector can provide a
warning that battery voltage is low so that timely steps can be taken
to correct the problem. The Car Battery Low alert is triggered when
the voltage drops below 11.9 volts. Following the alert, the unit
enters SmartPower mode to avoid further draining your car battery.
Detection
Your detector is capable of detecting the following signals in addition
to X, K, Ka, Ku-Band and Laser signals.
Instant-On Signals: Your detector is designed to detect Instant-On
speed monitoring signals, which can suddenly appear at full strength
on your detector’s signal strength indicator.
POP Detection:
Your detector is designed to detect single pulse mode
radars. These radars are designed to have a low probability of detection.
You should note that these radar guns have a much shorter range while in
this mode.
VG-2, Spectre 1, & IV+:
Police use radar detector detectors (RDDs) to
spot users of radar detectors in a commercial vehicle. Your detector is able
to identify signals from VG-2, Spectre I, and Spectre IV RDDs and can pro-
vide alerts when any of these or similar devices are in use near your vehicle.
You can choose whether you want to be alerted to VG-2, Spectre I, & IV
RDD signals.
Safety Alert Traffic Warning System: FCC-approved Safety Alert transmit-
ters emit microwave radar signals that indicate the presence of a safety-
related concern. Depending on the frequency of the signal emitted, it can
indicate a speeding emergency vehicle or train, or a stationary road hazard.
Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most
conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert signals as standard K
band radar. Your detector, however, is designed to differentiate between
standard K band and Safety Alert signals, and give separate alerts for each.
When you receive such an alert, please watch for emergency vehicles ahead
of you, on cross streets and behind you. If you see an emergency vehicle ap-
proaching, please pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass.
Description Interpretation Recommended Response
Tone repeats slowly at
first, then speeds up
rapidly.
Probably police radar. FULL ALERT
Tone sounds one time
only.
Probably a false alarm, but
possibly pulsed radar, Spectre
I or IV+ or VG-2 nearby.
Exercise caution
Tone instantly begins
repeating rapidly.
Radar, Spectre I or IV+
or VG-2 nearby has been
activated suddenly.
FULL ALERT
Tone repeats slowly as
you approach a hill or
bridge, then speeds up
sharply as you reach it.
Probably police radar beyond
the hill or bridge.
FULL ALERT
Tone repeats slowly
for a short period.
Probably a false alarm. Exercise caution
Any type of laser alert. Laser alerts are
never false alarms.
FULL ALERT
Any Safety Alert. You are nearing an
emergency vehicle, railroad
crossing or road hazard
(construction, accident, etc.).
Exercise caution
*To turn these Detection features On or Off, see “Buttons & Controls” chart.
Strobe Alert:
Special strobes mounted on the light bars of authorized
emergency vehicles (fire trucks, police cars, ambulances) automatically
change traffic signals as the vehicle approaches an intersection. These
strobes and the special strobe detectors located on the traffic signals,
introduced fairly recently by 3M and Tomar, are already in use in more
than 1000 cities nationwide. Cobra’s exclusive Strobe Alert detector will
detect these special strobes and give an emergency vehicle alert.
When you receive such an alert, please watch for an approaching emer-
gency vehicle and pull over to allow it to pass. To inquire about coverage
in your area, contact your local fire and police departments.
