Troubleshooting

Road Scout does not seem to detect radar

consistently at long ranges

If you are using AUTO sensitivity mode, be aware

that AUTO mode changes Road Scout’s X and K radar

detection range based on your speed. The slower

you are traveling, the shorter the detection range of

X and K radar. Select HIGH sensitivity mode to always

detect radar at maximum distances.

Because Ka radar is primarily used by police, Road

Scout always detects Ka band radar at maximum

range.

I cannot get my phone to nd Road Scout’s

Wi-Fi in camera mode

On Road Scout, make sure you have Camera Wi-Fi

mode enabled. When in Camera Wi-Fi mode, a ring

surrounds the display (see the Display illustration on

page 9). If there is no ring around the display, hold

the BRT button until “CAMERA” Wi-Fi Mode” is

announced.

You may also be in an area with alot of Wi-Fi

interference. Try enabling Airplane mode on

your phone then check the Wi-Fi menu on your

phone again.

I am connected to my car’s Wi-Fi hotspot but I

am not receiving speed limits or Live alerts

On Road Scout, make sure the Wi-Fi icon is white and

there is not a ring around the display. This indicates

Road Scout is in iRadar Wi-Fi mode, and you are

connected to a hotspot (see Display illustration on

page 9).

Make sure your Wi-Fi hotspot has internet

connectivity. Internet connectivity is required to

receive speed limits, alerts and software updates.

Make sure that you have an iRadar account. An

account is included at no charge with your Road

Scout. To check this, open the iRadar app on your

smartphone then go to Menu>Subscriptions. The

Subscriptions screen should show an expiration date

in the future. If it does not, connect Road Scout to

your smartphone via Bluetooth as described on page

5. After Road Scout is connected, go back to the

Subscriptions screen and verify a future date is

shown. If it is, then Road Scout should now receive

speed limits and Live alerts.

If you continue to not receive speed limits or Live

alerts, please contact Cobra customer service at

1-800-964-3138.
