Both radar and laser tra n s m i s s i o n spass through glass but not through other object s.For this reason the Co b ra ESD-9850 lenses must notbe bloc ke d.The Laser Eye should have a view of therear window to take adva n tage of its 360˚ d e te ct i o nca p a b i l i t y.It is best to locate your d e te ctor as low onthe fro n t windshield as po s s i b l e.Examples of metal in the windshield area that canblock or weaken incoming radar/laser signals:1.Windshield wiper blades.2. Mirrored sun screens.3. Regular tinted glass does not affect radarreception,although the darker tint at thetop of the tinted windshield prevents laserlight from penetrating.4. Heated windshields, currently available as anoption for some Ford® (Instaclear) and GM®(Electriclear vehicles act as an impenetrablebarrier to radar signals). If in doubt, checkwith your dealer to see if this applies toyour vehicle.Windshield MountingLocation WindshieldMounting*9850.MANUAL 8/9/00 12:23 PM Page 2

Detection 23Radar FrequenciesThere are now three frequencies that have beenapproved by the FCC (Federal CommunicationsCommission) for use in speed monitoring equipment. They are:X Band (10.525 GHz),K Band (24.150 GHz)Ka Band (33.400-36.000 GHz)Your Cobra ESD-9850 can detect signals in allthree radar bands including photo radar andSTALKER radar which use the Ka band, andCobra’s Safety Alert signals on the K band.Facts About LIDAR (Laser)What is LIDAR?LIDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging.While everyone refers to it as LASER the correctname is LIDAR.How does LIDAR work?LIDAR operates a lot like RADAR.Like RADAR,itspreads out. Not as quickly, but it does spread, asshown on the diagram below.RadarFrequenciesFacts AboutLIDAR (Laser)Facts About the Safety Alert® Traffic Warning SystemFCC-approved Safety Alert Transmitters emitmicrowave radar signals to indicate the presence of asafety-related concern. Depending on the frequency ofthese signals, as set on the transmitter, the outgoingsignal can indicate whether the transmitter is on aspeeding emergency vehicle or train,or at a stationaryroad hazard location.These microwave signals arelocated in the K-band and as a result, any radardetector which detects K-band radar will detect theseSafety signals as standard K-band radar alerts. However,unlike a standard radar detector, your Cobra ESD-9850is designed to differentiate between a standard K-bandalert and a Safety Alert warning. Safety technology isrelatively new so the number of transmitters inoperation is still growing.You may not receive SafetyAlert on a daily basis and should not be surprised toencounter some emergency vehicles, road hazards ortrains not yet equipped with these transmitters,therefore failing to provide a signal. As SafetyTransmitters become more prevalent (the number ofoperating transmitters is growing every day),theseSafety Alerts will become more common. The SafetyAlert Transmitter is in use in all 50 states in limitedquantities.Facts About Strobe Alert™Alerts motorists to over 50,000 emergency vehiclesequipped with strobe transmitters that activate redlights at traffic intersections in emergency high speedsituations.NoteStrobe Alert™ is available inover 1,000 cities and workswith Tomar and Opticomsystems. Call your localFire/Police department foryour area coverage or areain which you will betraveling.Detection 22Facts AboutSafety Alert®Tr a ff i cWa rn i n gSystemLIDARs must have a clearline of sight to target avehicle during the entiremeasurement interval.Intervening objects such assignposts, utility poles,treebranches, etc.,will preventa valid speed reading.*9850.MANUAL 8/9/00 12:24 PM Page 22
