You can also mount it directly on the dashboard. Windshield Mounting Dashboard Mounting Installation Windshield Mounting 1. Attach the rubber cups to the bracket. 2. Make sure the rubber cups and your windshield are clean. 3. Push the bracket firmly onto the windshield. The unit’s lens must not be blocked and the LaserEye should have a clear view out the back window to allow 360° detection. The LaserEye Should Have a Clear View 4. Attach the detector to the bracket. Check the angle of the unit. 5. To adjust the angle if necessary, gently push or pull on the bracket to bend it. DO NOT use the detector to bend the bracket. 6. Plug the power cord into the detector. Radar and laser signals pass through glass but not through other materials and objects. Objects that can block or weaken incoming signals include: ■ Windshield wiper blades ■ Mirrored sun screens ■ Dark tinting at the top of the windshield ■ Heated windshields currently available on some vehicles (Instaclear for Ford, Electriclear for GM). Consult your dealer to see if you have this option. English 7. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter on the power cord into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter. 8. You can temporarily remove the detector whenever you wish by depressing the bracket release button and sliding it off the bracket.

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. To Turn IntelliMute On or Off Using Program Mode (See Page 7 For Instructions on Using Program Mode) In Program mode, go to IntelliMute. Tone Visual Display Voice Two beeps IntelliMute On, then i appears in the display IntelliMute On One beep IntelliMute Off IntelliMute Off IntelliMute On NW Settings 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. Below Activation Point NW ih Above Activation Point NW ih 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. IntelliMute Off ih Intelli Intelli Mute Mute Off CAUTION Do not attempt to set the rev point while driving. Your vehicle should be parked and idling. IntelliMute must be turned on before setting the activation point.

Off 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. Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 17
