For extremely horizontal or extremely sloped windshields, the QuickMount Bracket can be bent.
Controls and Features Power AutoMute To turn RedLine on or off, press the button located on the control PWR panel. When you turn RedLine on, it provides a quick audible tone to confirm it’s working. If you prefer, you may program your RedLine for a longer power-on sequence. See the Preferences section for details. RedLine has our patented AutoMute feature. After you encounter an alert at the volume you selected, the AutoMute feature will automatically reduce the volume to a lower level.
Controls and Features Power Connector ExpertMeter RedLine’s power jack uses a telephonetype connector.

RedLine ‘s ExpertMeter option is an advanced display for experienced detector users. Please use RedLine for a few weeks to get familiar with its other features before using ExpertMeter.
How To Use Preferences Overview of Preferences How to customize RedLine with Preferences An example Here is how you would turn RedLine’s AutoMute feature off. There are 8 user-selectable options so you can customize your RedLine for your own preferences. The buttons labeled VOLUME/MUTE and SENS are also used to enter Preferences, REVIEW your current program settings, and to CHANGE any settings as desired.
Details of Preferences Options Pilot (Power-on indication) Brightness Alamp In this setting, the brightness for the display is controlled automatically by a sensor that measures the ambient light in the vehicle. Sunlight will increase the brightness level, while dim or no light (night driving) will decrease the brightness. In this setting, the Alert Lamp will flash on and off during an alert. AlampOFF (Alert lamp off) In this setting, the Alert Lamp will not flash on and off during an alert.
Details of Preference Options Specifications AutoMute Bands Features and Specifications In this setting, the RedLine’s audio alerts will initially be heard at the volume you set, but after a few seconds, the RedLine will automatically reduce the volume level, to keep you informed, but not annoyed. (factory default) In this setting, the factory default settings for radar and laser are monitored. This is the factory setting, and it is highly recommended that you use your RedLine in this mode.
Interpreting Alerts Although RedLine has a comprehensive warning system and this handbook is as complete as we can make it, only experience will teach you what to expect from your RedLine and how to interpret what it tells you. The specific type of radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on) and the location of the radar source affects the radar alerts you receive.
Radar POP How Radar Works Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as X-Band radar, your RedLine will occasionally receive non-police radar signals. Since these X-Band transmitters are usually contained inside of a building, or aimed toward the ground, they will generally produce much weaker readings than will a true radar encounter.
TSR SWS TSR Signal Ranking Software How SWS Works Your radar detector includes a new optional boost in anti-falsing software to eliminate excessive alerts from erroneous X and K-band sources. One example of this is traffic flow monitoring systems. These systems, which are becoming more widely used in several countries, generate K-band signals to measure the flow of traffic on a given road. Unfortunately most detectors see this as a real threat and will alert you to it unnecessarily.
Troubleshooting Problem Solution Problem Solution RedLine beeps briefly at the same location every day, but no radar source is in sight. • An X-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within range of your route. With time, you will learn predictable patterns of these signals. Your 14-year old son has changed all 8 of the Preferences options. • You can return all of the Preferences options to the factory defaults by holding down the VOLUME/MUTE and SENS buttons while you turn RedLine on.
