Installation •
Where to Mount Your Unit
You will get optimum performance from your detector if you mount it at a
point approximately in the center of the vehicle, as low as possible on the
front windshield without obstructing the unit’s view of the road either to
the front or rear. You can also mount it directly on the dashboard.
The unit’s lens must not be blocked and the LaserEye should have a clear view
out the back window to allow 360° detection.
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.
The LaserEye Should Have a Clear View
Windshield Mounting Dashboard Mounting
This manual describes the simple steps for mounting, setting up and using your
detector. It also provides helpful information about how radar and laser guns are
used and how you can interpret the alerts you receive.
Before you begin your installation, please read the Important Information section
on page A1 and use the descriptions and feature lists on pages A2 and A3 to
become familiar with your new detector.
About Your Detector •
Display
This detector’s innovative new display provides more, easier-to-use information
than any technology to date. Using an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode)
screen, the display offers large graphical alerts to signals as they are detected.
Do not be alarmed by the nearly blank display you see when you first turn the
unit on. The detector will function and alerts will appear as signals are detected.
You can also elect to turn on the built-in Compass, IntelliMute and Car Voltage,
so that they appear during normal operation. The initial and startup screens are
shown on page 6.
Programming
EasySet Programming lets you conveniently customize the operation of your
detector by changing the settings. You may want to start using the detector
with the factory settings and then make changes after you are more familiar
with the unit.

User Settings •
City Mode Default
City Mode Default makes three levels of Audio Alert suppression available
when you toggle from Highway to City mode (see page 8). The factory setting
is City X.
City X sounds a single beep when an x band signal is first detected.
The alert then sounds when signal strength reaches level 3.
City X+K combines the City X mode with prevention of K band audio
alerts until the signal strength reaches level 2.
City X Beep Off blocks all X band audio alerts until the signal strength
reaches level 3.
IntelliMute Mode
IntelliMute is a unique 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). It works with
all City and Auto Mute modes.
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. The factory setting is IntelliMute off.
An IntelliMute icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute is on and activation
is set. Whenever engine revs are below the activation point, the arrow points
down. When revs are above the activation point the arrow points up.
If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine’s revs, IntelliMute will
indicate an error and automatically turn off.
NOTES
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.
NOTES
The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle.
NOTES
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.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to set the rev point while driving. Your vehicle should be parked
and idling to avoid a collision during the process.
Set IntelliMute
After the detector is installed in your vehicle and IntelliMute is turned on,
advance through the User Settings Programming to the Set IntelliMute setup
screen where the activation point can be set.
Setting the activation point progresses from the setup screen shown on the
User Programming Menu Guide (see page 34). From that screen:
1. Press the Citybutton to advance one screen.
2. Press and hold the vehicle accelerator at the desired engine RPMs.
3. Press the Dimbutton to complete the setting process.
The system will store the engine RPM setting and provide a completion
message on the display as well as a tone or voice message.
NOTE
If the unit is unable to sense usable pulses within three seconds or if you do not
set a rev point within 30 seconds of beginning the setup, IntelliMute will indicate
an error. If you do not try again within five seconds, it will automatically turn off.
The unit will provide corresponding messages for these conditions.
Once an activation point has been set, you can easily change it by going
directly to Set IntelliMute in User Settings Programming and repeating the
three-step setup process.

Auto Mute Mode
When Auto Mute is on, it automatically reduces the audio volume of all alerts

You can set your detector to sound alerts and confirm program settings with
either a Voice or a Tone Alert. Voice Alert provides voice messages in addition
to tones. Tone Alert provides tones only. The factory setting is Voice Alert.

can continuously display your current direction of travel:
N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW.
Before the Compass will work, it must be
calibrated (see page 17). Calibration allows
the Compass electronics to measure and
store information about the magnetic fields
generated by your vehicle so direction
indications will be accurate. The factory
setting is Compass off.
A Compass icon and directional heading will appear in the display when
the Compass is on and calibrated.
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. You should also recalibrate the Compass if you suspect it is
providing inaccurate directions.
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.
Set Compass
After the detector is installed in your vehicle and Compass is turned on
(see page 34), the system will automatically advance to the Set Compass
calibration screen from which the calibration can be performed.
WARNING
Before calibrating the Compass, go to a large parking lot
or other safe, low-traffic area.
NOTE
When the instructions direct you to drive in two circles, make two complete
loops (in either direction) from any starting orientation at any convenient speed.
The loops need not be perfect and can be circles, small squares, four three-
point turns, or any pattern that makes at least two complete turns within two
minutes of starting the maneuver.
Calibrating the Compass progresses from the Calibrate Compass screen shown
on the User Programming Menu Guide (see page 34). From that screen:
1. Press the Citybutton to advance one screen.
2. Drive your vehicle in two circles.
3. Press the Dimbutton to complete the setting process.
The system will store the calibration data and provide a completion message
on the display as well as a tone or voice message.
NOTE
If you do not press the Dimbutton within two minutes after beginning the Set
Compass process, Compass calibration will automatically terminate. The unit
will provide a corresponding message.
Once the initial calibration is complete, you can go to Set Compass in
User Settings Programming and recalibrate the Compass as needed by
repeating the three-step calibration process.

Understanding Radar and Laser •
Radar Speed Monitoring Systems
Four 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
Ku band 13.435 GHz
Your detector detects signals in all four radar bands.
VG-2 and Spectre 1
VG-2 and Spectre 1 are “detector detectors” that work by detecting low-level
signals emitted by most radar detectors. Your detector does not emit signals
that can be detected by VG-2 or Spectre 1, but does detect VG-2 and Spectre 1
signals and will alert you when a device is in use near your vehicle, if you
so choose.
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 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 technology is relatively new. 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.
Strobe Alert
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.
When you receive such an alert, please watch for an approaching
emergency vehicle and pull over to allow it to pass. To inquire about
coverage in your area, contact your local fire and police departments.
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.
LIDAR operates much like radar. Its signal spreads out like a radar
signal, though not as widely. 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.
Some common questions about LIDAR include:
■Does weather have any affect on LIDAR?
Yes. Rain, snow, smoke, fog, or airborne dust particles will reduce the
effective range of LIDAR and can, if dense enough, prevent its operation.
■Can LIDAR operate through glass?
Yes. Newer LIDAR guns can obtain readings through most types of glass.
However, the laser pulse also can be received through glass to trigger
an alarm by your detector.
■Can LIDAR operate while in motion?
No. Because LIDAR operates by line of sight, the person using it cannot
drive the vehicle, aim and operate the gun all at the same time.
■Is LIDAR legal to use?
Yes. It is legal in all 50 states.

Pop Radar Guns
The Pop mode Radar Gun is a single pulse Doppler radar that is a feature
of a K and Ka (Bee III Ka radar gun) band Instant-On radar gun. It uses a
single short time pulse to measure the target vehicle’s speed. Despite the fact
that the short, single pulse makes the unit very sensitive to officer hand and
vehicle movement and reduces the range of the gun in Pop mode to 50% of
its range in Continuous Wave mode, this feature is added in an attempt to
make the radar gun invisible to Radar Detectors.
Although your detector can sense Pop signals beyond the effective range
of Pop radar guns, there will be a signal to sense only if a gun is triggered.
In addition, the Pop mode receiver section is more prone to false alerts
because of its extra sensitivity. This is especially so in urban areas. As a
result, you should consider using the Pop Detect mode only in highway
and rural situations. Cobra Electronics has included a user selectable on
or off Pop Detect mode.
