Language
The detector can be set to either English or Spanish for all text and voice audio.
IntelliMute
INTELLIMUTE 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, INTELLIM-
UTE 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. 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.
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 SEN mode when appropriate.
Screen Saver
Your detector has a SCREEN SAVER mode. When SCREEN SAVER is turned On
(factory default is 3 minutes), the screen will change to Dark from it’s Bright,
Dim, or Dimmer setting after the time interval selected. While the screen is Dark,
the scanner will be displayed dimly.
NOTE: While
SCREEN SAVER
is activated, any alert will turn the display back on
at the last brightness setting (Bright, Dim or Dimmer). Touching any button will
also turn On the display.
Smart Power
Your detector includes the SMARTPOWER feature that, when turned On, will put the
unit into Low Power mode 15 minutes after the car’s engine has been turned Off.
Before
SMARTPOWER
enters Low Power mode, you will hear three beeps and
SMARTPOWER
will ash on the display. To return the unit to Normal Power mode
and exit Low Power mode, start the car, press any button or turn the unit
Off
and
then On again.
Low Car Voltage
Displays your car battery voltage and automatically warns you if this drops
below 11.9V. Your detector will then shut off to prevent further draining of
your car battery.
System Info
Displays information about the versions of software/rmware that are
installed on your detector.
Restore Defaults
To return your detector to factory default settings, press the SEN Button.
Press the SEN Button again to conrm that you want to restore factory
settings. Press the MUTE Button to exit.
