Whenever your engine revs are below the activation X K Ka V Snext to the large point, the dot character on the right side of the display will remain lit. Above the activation point, the dot will blink twice every 2 seconds. XKK VS If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine's revs, IntelliMute® will indicate an error and automatically turn off. Setting the IntelliMute® Activation Point Your detector must be installed in your vehicle. You will hear a series of beeps as you follow these steps: The rev point you set will be stored in the unit's memory when power is turned off, and recalled each time the power is turned on. X K Ka if The rev point must be reset V you use your detector in a different vehicle. 1. Procedure Press and hold the IntelliMute® button for 2 seconds. Tone 2 beeps Visual Display none X K Ka V S Important: When initially choosing your IntelliMute® activation point, a setting of approximately 300 to 600 RPMs above idle is recommended. You can reset the activation point at any time to fit your K Ka V individual preferences and driving style. 2. Procedure Rev your engine to the level you wish to set. Rev the engine slightly above idle and hold revs steady for 2 seconds. NOTE: If the unit is unable to sense usable pulses within three seconds, IntelliMute® will indicate an error and automatically turn off. Tone none Visual Display three bars flash in succession 1 2 3 K Ka V S Tone 1 beep Visual Display appears 3. Procedure At the desired rev level, press and release the IntelliMute® button. NOTE: If you do not set a rev point within 20 seconds of beginning these steps, IntelliMute® will indicate an error and automatically turn off.

You can choose K Ka V S whether or not you want your unit to sound VG-2 alerts. You should take appropriate action immediately whenever an alert is given. Radar Speed Monitoring Systems Three band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment: X band 10. 525 GHz K band 24. 150 GHz Ka band 33. 400-36. 00 GHz 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. Safety Alert ® transmitters can be found in limited numbers in all 50 states, but the number is growing. Depending on your location, you may not receive these alerts regularly and may often encounter emergency vehicles, trains, and road hazards without being alerted. As the number of transmitters increases, these alerts will become more common. 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 approaching, please pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass. 17 Responding To Alerts Description tone repeats slowly at first, then speeds up rapidly tone sounds one time only tone instantly begins repeating rapidly tone repeats slowly as you approach a hill or bridge, then speeds up sharply as you reach it tone repeats slowly for a short period any type of laser alert any Safety Alert ® or Strobe Alert® Interpretation probably police radar probably a false alarm, but possibly pulsed radar radar or VG-2 nearby has been activated suddenly probably police radar beyond the hill or bridge probably a false alarm laser alerts are never false alarms you are nearing an emergency vehicle, railroad crossing, or road hazard (construction, accident, etc. ) Recommended Response FULL ALERT exercise caution FULL ALERT FULL ALERT Your detector detects signals in all three radar bands. VG-2 VG-2 is a "detector detector" that works by detecting low-level signals emitted by most radar detectors. Your detector does not emit signals that can be detected by VG-2, but does detect VG-2 signals and will alert you when a device is in use near your vehicle. exercise caution FULL ALERT exercise caution Safety Alert® Traffic Warning System FCC- approved Safety Alert ® transmitters 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 16 5 U N D E R S TA N D I N G R A D A R & L A S E R ® U N D E R S TA N D I N G R A D A R & L A S E R 5 Strobe Alert LIDAR (laser) The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is actually LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. Unlike radar, LIDAR must have a clear line of sight to its target vehicle throughout the entire measurement interval. Obstructions such as sign posts, utility poles, tree branches, etc. , will prevent valid speed measurement. 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.
