Mounting
Your detector should be mounted on the windshield or dashboard of
your vehicle. Two mounting options are included:
Suction Cup Mount –
This is the best option for portability and mov-
ing the detector from car to car. Make sure to
thoroughly clean the suction cups and wind-
shield mounting area to insure a tight seal.
Hook and Loop Fastener–
Included for dashboard mounting.
Suction Cup Mount
Hook & Loop Fastener
Your detector should be mounted so that it is oriented
parallel to the road.
The suction cup mount comes standard bent at
a 45° angle. The metal is designed to bend
without breaking. Adjust the angle so when
mounted the detector is level with the road.
Avoid blocking the detector’s view by windshield wiper
blades or dark tinting at the top of the windshield.
Note: Do not attempt to bend the mount while the detector
is attached.

Types of Screens
1. Standby Screen
City/Highway Indicator: Shows current filtering mode.
Vehicle Battery Voltage: Displays your car battery voltage and
automatically warns you if this drops below 11.9V.
Car Battery Low Voltage Warning
In addition to displaying system voltage, your detector can pro-
vide a warning that battery voltage is low so that timely steps
can be taken to correct the problem. The Car Battery Low alert
is triggered when the voltage drops below 11.9 volts. Following
the alert, the unit enters SmartPower mode to avoid further
draining your car battery.
IntelliMute Indicator: Indicates status of IntelliMute.
See IntelliMute section for details.

2. Alert Screens
Radar bands consist of X-band, K-band, Ka-band, and Ku-band. With
radar signals, the signal strength meter shows the strength of the radar
gun as well as relative proximity to the source. With Ka-band, you will
also be notified of the actual Ka-band radar gun frequency being used.
With Laser signals, you will always receive full alert and pulse rate
(PPS) of the corresponding laser gun being used. Laser PPS currently in
use are: 100, 125, 130, 200, 238 and 340.

False Signal Rejection: Highway
Mode provides full immediate response to all signals detected.
Use this mode when you are driving on interstate highways.
Automatic door openers operate in X and K-band frequencies.
To minimize unwanted false alerts in an urban environment where
these sources exist, use one of the City Filtering Modes below:
• City X:
automatically mutes X-band audible alert
until signal strength reaches level 3 or above.
• City X+K: combined with City X,
automatically mutes K-band audible alert
until signal strength reaches level 2 or above.
• City Plus X+K+Ka: combined with City X+K,
adds filtering to Ka-band.
• City MAX: Maximum filtering against urban
false signal sources.
The City modes can also be adjusted by pressing the City button
for 2 seconds.
IntelliMute
®
: IntelliMute allows you to avoid audible 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. You can set
your preferred engine RPM activation point and/or turn on/off
IntelliMute by the IntelliMute button for more than 2 seconds.
You can change your detector’s user/alert settings by pressing one
or more of the Control buttons as shown below.
