Installation
Windshield Mounting
1. Attach the rubber
cups to the bracket.
2. Make sure the rubber cups and your windshield are clean.

Highway/City Mode
•
Your detector has a Highway mode and three different levels of City modes:
City X, City X Beep Off and City X+K. City X mode sounds a single beep when
the signal is first detected. City X Beep Off mode prevents all X band audio
alerts until the signal strength reaches Level 3. City X+K mode combines the
City X mode with prevention of K band audio alerts until the signal strength
reads Level 2. This will reduce false alerts while you are driving in or near
urban areas where there are many sources for conflicting X or K band signals
such as microwave towers and automatic door openers. The factory setting
is Highway. The factory City mode default setting is City X.

IntelliMute
IntelliMute is a unique new feature that allows you to avoid alerts you
don’t need to hear because you are stopped or moving slowly. By sensing
the “revs” (RPMs) of your engine, IntelliMute knows when you are at low
speed and automatically mutes alerts (except for strobe signals from
emergency vehicles).
Before IntelliMute will work, you must set an activation point for your engine’s
revs (see page 15). Whenever the revs are below that point, IntelliMute will
begin muting. The activation point will be stored in memory and recalled
each time the power is turned on. An i will appear in the display when
IntelliMute is on. The factory setting is IntelliMute off.
NOTE
IntelliMute may not work with some vehicles because it cannot sense
the engine’s revs. In such cases, you can reduce unwanted audio alerts
by using Auto Mute and City mode when appropriate.

What to Remember While Using IntelliMute
IntelliMute works with all City and Auto Mute modes.
Whenever engine revs are below the activation point, an arrow
pointing down will appear in the display. Above the activation point,
an arrow pointing up will appear.

If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine’s revs,
IntelliMute will indicate an error and automatically turn off.
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.
NOTE
The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle.
NOTE
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 individual
preferences and driving style.
Setting the IntelliMute Activation Point
Your detector must be installed in your vehicle.

Before using it for the first time, you must calibrate the compass to
provide accurate indications of direction. See page 7 for instructions
on using the Program mode to select Set Compass.
Rev your engine to the level you wish to None
set. Rev the engine slightly above idle and
hold revs steady for two seconds.

Calibration allows the compass electronics to measure and store

The compass temporarily may not provide accurate readings if you are inside
a building or enclosure, or are close to a large metal tractor/trailer, truck, or
train. Once you are away from such a location, the compass will work
correctly again.

The compass will remain accurately calibrated as long as your detector is
mounted in the same place in your vehicle. If you change the location where
the unit is mounted or move it to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the
compass.

NOTE
When the instructions direct you to drive in two circles, a large parking
lot is the most convenient place to do so. It does not matter what
direction your vehicle is pointing when you start the circles, which
direction you go to make the circles, and it does not have to be exactly
two circles. You do NOT have to make perfect circles. You can drive in
any pattern, as long as you make two complete turns. Four three-point
turns, two small squares, or any two complete loops will work as well as
two circles. It does not matter what size the circles are, if your speed is
constant, or how fast you make the circles [but less than two minutes].
Please be careful when making the circles and watch for other traffic.
