Federal Laws Governing the Use of Radar Detectors
It is not against federal law to receive radar transmissions with your Cobra®radar/laser
detector. The Communications Act of 1924 guarantees your right to receive radio
transmissions on any frequency. Local laws that contravene this Act, while illegal, may
be enforced by your local law enforcement officials until and unless they are prohibited
from doing so by federal court action.
Safety/Strobe Alert
Use of this product is not intended to, and does not, ensure that motorists or
passengers will not be involved in traffic accidents. It is only intended to alert the
motorist that an emergency vehicle equipped with a Cobra Safety Alert, 3M or Tomar
strobe transmitter is within range as defined by that product. Please call local fire and

Product Overview
CAUTION
Modifications or parts not approved by Cobra Electronics Corporation
may violate FCC Rules and void authority to operate this equipment.
Cobra XRS R8 and XRS R10G •
Read and understand the information in the Installation Overview and
Installation sections of this manual for best operation.
The XRS R8 consists of a Main Detector Unit (MDU) and a wireless Remote
Display Unit (RDU). The XRS R10G adds a Global Positioning System Locator
module, providing fixed red light/speed camera and caution area location-based
alerts. The XRS R8 can be upgraded with the optional Cobra GPS Locator to
provide fixed red light/speed camera and caution area location-based alerts.
Main Detector Unit (MDU)
The MDU is equipped with an adjustable, two-position bracket for detection
operation in the down (horizontal) position or in the up position for a less
visible profile from the outside. The MDU issues audible messages during
power-on and self-testing. The MDU is equipped with a power button to turn
the unit On and Off.
The MDU contains detection function sensors so proper mounting and
orientation are important.
Remote Display Unit (RDU)
The RDU is a wireless remote controller/display module that shows alerts
detected by the MDU. The RDU display uses an Extreme Bright DataGrafix™
(Organic Light Emitting Diode) Display to show large graphical alerts as
signals are detected.
The RDU uses a rechargeable lithium-ion (LiON) battery and is supplied with
a holster and clips for mounting on heating/air conditioner vents or sun visor.
A 12V to 5V USB Power Adaptor with cigarette lighter plug and a USB to
Mini-USB Retractable Cable are supplied. The RDU can be charged in the
vehicle using these two components or by plugging the USB to Mini-USB
Retractable Cable to the USB port of your personal computer.
The normal Auto Dark screen is almost completely dark with only a moving
dot. The Auto Dark screen provides discreet usage and helps conserve RDU
battery life. The display color can be changed to match most dash
illumination.
Global Positioning System Locator –
(XRS R10G Only)
The GPS Locator module tracks vehicle location. It uses a database that
provides alerts as you approach photo-enforced intersections, roads with
fixed red light/speed cameras and caution areas.
Use the GPS Locator functions to program alerts and store up to 1,000 user
programmable Location Alerts. Software will be available to update the
database and stay current with future photo enforced locations and caution
areas. The GPS Locator module has no external controls and plugs into the MDU.
Registering Your Detector
To register your Cobra XRS R8 or XRS R10G go to www.cobra.com. Click on
the Product Registration tab.
Installation Overview
Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra®5
Mount the MDU high on windshield to right of rear view mirror (Figure B).
The MDU must have a clear view through the windshield, be parallel to the
road (Figure C) and have clearance to snap into the “up” position.
Position the MDU for easy access to power switch, cable connections and for
mirror movement. Mount the MDU on the windshield close to the headliner.
(See page 7 for details.)
IMPORTANT: Do not block the MDU lens with the sun-shaded area of the
windshield (Figure D).

IntelliMute Mode
IntelliMute allows you to avoid audio alerts you don’t need to hear because you
are stopped or moving slowly. By sensing the 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.
The IntelliMute icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute is On and the
activation point has been set. Whenever engine RPMs are below the Activation
Point, the arrow points down. When RPMs are above the Activation Point the
arrow points up.

Your Detector
Programming User Settings •
IntelliShield City Mode Default
City Mode Default makes three levels of Audio Alert suppression available
when you toggle from Highway to City mode (see page 20). 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.
The City Mode Default can be changed in Menu mode. It can also be changed
at any time the detector is in Standby mode:
1. Press and hold the Citybutton for at least two seconds.
The three City modes will be sequentially displayed for three
seconds each as long as the button is pressed.
2. Release the Citybutton while the desired City mode is
displayed to set that mode as the default.
IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro Modes
IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro are two features that are active at slow speeds
and when your vehicle is stopped. Both depend on your detector sensing the
vehicle’s engine “revs” (RPMs) to function. Either feature can be turned On
in Menu mode, but not both at the same time. The factory settings are IntelliMute
Off and IntelliMute Pro Off.
After turning On IntelliMute or IntelliMute Pro, you must then set an Activation
Point for your engine’s RPMs (see page 26). Whenever the RPMs are below
that point, IntelliMute will begin muting or IntelliMute Pro will turn Off the radar
detection circuits. The Activation Point will be stored in memory and recalled
each time the power is turned On.
NOTE: IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro may not work with some vehicles
because the unit cannot sense the engine’s RPMs. In such a case,
Auto Mute and City mode can reduce some unwanted audio alerts.
IntelliMute Pro Mode
IntelliMute Pro prevents detection by radar detector detectors (RDDs) such as
VG-2, Spectre I and Spectre IV+ when traveling at slower speeds. It is intended
for use by experienced users only.
When IntelliMute Pro is turned On, and engine RPMs are below the IntelliMute
Pro Activation Point, your detector’s radar detection circuits are turned Off to
prevent detection by RDDs.
The IntelliMute Pro icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute Pro is On
and the Activation Point has been set. Whenever engine RPMs are below the
Activation Point, the arrow points down with the “i” blinking. When RPMs are
above the Activation Point the arrow points up with the “i” blinking.
CAUTION
When IntelliMute Pro is On, NO radar signals will be detected and NO alerts
will be given at RPMs below the IntelliMute Pro activation point.

Remote Display Unit (RDU) Beep Level
RDU Beep sets the volume level for the keypad confirmation tones of the
RDU. Choose from Low, High or Off RDU beep level volumes.
RDU Display Color
The RDU screen color theme is customizable to match your personal
preference or your vehicle’s dash illumination. Choices include Multi-Color,
Red, Blue, Orange or Green. Factory setting is Multi-Color.
Display Timeout
Display Timeout determines how long RDU button backlight and display stays
On before RDU screen switches to Auto Dark mode. Set RDU display time for
15 seconds, 30 seconds, one minute, three minutes or Always On. Factory
default is 30 seconds.
NOTE: If selecting “Always On” setting, RDU battery will need charging
more frequently.
Frequency Display Mode
Different Ka radar and LIDAR (Laser) guns operate at various frequencies
within their assigned spectrums. When Frequency Display is turned On,
the signal frequency will be added to the alert. The factory setting for

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 are already in use in more than 1000
cities nationwide. Cobra’s exclusive Strobe Alert detector detects these
special strobes and sounds an emergency vehicle alert.
When you receive such an alert, watch for an approaching emergency vehicle
and pull over to allow it to pass. Contact your local fire and police departments
for information about coverage in your area.
LIDAR (Laser)
The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as “laser” is
actually LIDAR, 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 or tree branches 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 reduce the effective
range of LIDAR and can, with dense conditions, 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.
Understanding Radar and Laser •
Radar Speed Monitoring Systems
Three 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
Your detector detects signals in all three radar bands, plus Ku band (13.435
GHz), which is an approved frequency used in parts of Europe and Asia.
VG-2 and Spectre
VG-2 and Spectre I & IV+ are radar detector detectors (RDDs) that work by
detecting low-level signals emitted by most radar detectors. Your detector
does not emit signals that can be spotted by VG-2 and Spectre I RDDs.
However, your detector can be spotted by Spectre IV+ RDDs. Your unit
detects signals from these or similar devices and will alert you when such
a device is in use near your vehicle.
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, train or a stationary road hazard.
Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most
conventional radar detectors 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, watch for emergency vehicles ahead of
you, on cross streets or behind you. If you see an emergency vehicle
approaching, pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass.

Pop Radar Guns
The Pop Mode Radar Gun is a single-pulse Doppler radar that is a feature of a
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.
The Pop mode receiver senses Pop signals beyond the effective range of Pop radar
guns. As the Pop mode receiver is so sensitive, you should limit the use of Pop
Detect mode to highway and rural driving. As such, factory default is set to OFF.
