User manual COBRA ESD6160ML

[. . . ] Federal Law Governing Use of Radar Detectors It is not against Federal Law to receive radar transmissions on your COBRA Radar Detector. The Communications Act of 1934 guarantees your right to receive radio transmissions on any frequency. Local laws that contravene the Communications Act of 1934, while illegal, may be enforced by your local law enforcement officials until and unless they are prohibited from doing so by Federal Court action. c. Mounting on Windshield To install the Cobra ESD-6160CS onto the windshield, simply press it firmly on to the glass. [. . . ] For Warranty Repair, include some form of proof-of-purchase, such as a mechanical reproduction or carbon or sales receipt. For example­must include detector, bracket with suction cups, and cord. Include a typed or clearly printed name and address of where the unit is to be returned.

WARNING: Before leaving your car, make sure that you conceal your radar detector. This will reduce the possibility of break-in and theft of your unit. Use of this product is not intended to, and does not, ensure that the motorist and any passenger will not be involved in a traffic accident. It is only intended to alert the motorist that an emergency or service vehicle equipped with a CODE 3 or Cobra Safety Alert Transmitter is in the area as defined by the range of the product. Motorists are expected to exercise all due caution while using this product, and to observe and follow all applicable traffic laws. Operators of emergency or service vehicles are also expected to exercise all due caution while using this product, and to observe and follow all applicable traffic laws. 5, 497, 148 LIDARs must have a clear line of sight to target a vehicle during the entire measurement interval. Intervening objects such as signposts, utility poles, tree branches, etc. , will prevent a valid speed reading. Yes, rain, snow, smoke, fog, and airborne dust particles will all reduce the effective range, and if sufficiently dense, may prevent its operation. But the laser pulse can be received through glass to easily and quickly trigger a laser detector's alarm. No, since LIDAR is line of sight, an officer cannot drive, aim, and shoot while driving. Location Selecting the proper location to mount the Cobra ESD-6160CS is very important for optimum performance. Both radar and laser transmissions pass through glass but not through other objects. For this reason the Cobra ESD-6160CS lens must not be blocked, and it should have a view of the rear window to take advantage of LaserEye 360° detection. It is best to locate your detector in the middle of the front windshield. [. . . ] Please print clearly: Name __________________________________________________________________ B. FCC-approved Safety Alert® Transmitters emit microwave radar signals to indicate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the frequency of these signals, as set on the transmitter, the outgoing signal can indicate whether the transmitter is on a speeding emergency vehicle or train, or at a stationary road hazard location. These microwave signals are located in the K-band and as a result, any radar detector which detects K-band radar will detect these Safety signals as standard K-band radar alerts. However, unlike a standard radar detector, your Cobra ESD-6160CS is designed to differentiate between a standard K-band alert and a Safety Alert. [. . . ]
