Your Detector Getting Started Display Control • Illumination The display illumination intensity can be adjusted to suit driving conditions: I Bright for daytime driving. (Factory default is Bright, then Display Timeout after 30 seconds.) I Dim for dusk driving. I Dimmer for night driving. I Dark to blank the screen for discreet use. In this mode, alerts will sound, but not show. (A dot will blink at the center of the screen to indicate the detector is ON.) You can adjust the illumination by pressing the Dim button to step through the levels in the sequence listed above. Display Timeout Your detector has a Display Timeout mode. When Display Timeout is turned On (factory default is 30 seconds), the screen will change to Dark from Bright, Dim, or Dimmer after the time interval selected in Menu mode (see page 13). The Display Timeout setting can be changed so the display is always On. In Display Timeout mode, the display will show a small dot moving slowly back and forth near the center of the screen to indicate the unit is turned On. NOTE While at the Dark level under timer control, any alert will turn On the display at the last brightness setting (Bright, Dim or Dimmer). Touching any button will also turn On the the display. Your Detector Getting Started IntelliShield Highway/City Modes • Your detector is equipped with IntelliShield false signal rejection technology which consists of a Highway mode and three different levels of City modes: City X, City X Beep Off and City X+K. Highway mode provides full response to all signals detected. The City modes reduce false alerts while you are driving in or near urban areas where there are many sources for conflicting X or K band signals such as microwave towers and automatic door openers. The factory setting is Highway. The factory City mode default setting is City X; it can be changed in Menu mode (see page 13). You can toggle between Highway and City modes by pressing the City button. NOTE When you change to City mode, the unit will enter whichever city default mode is set at the time. Muting an Alert • Your detector allows you to quickly turn Off an Audio Alert by momentarily pressing the Mute button. If you press the Mute button a second time during the alert, the Audio Alert will be turned back On. After the current alert is gone, the next alert will be heard. Two other features are incorporated in your detector to automatically mute or reduce the audio volume of alerts. See pages 17 and 19 for Intellimute and Auto Mute modes. Auxiliary Audio Jack • The Auxiliary Audio Jack can be used to connect external speakers in environments with high ambient noise levels. The internal speaker will be disconnected. (This uses a mini stereo audio connector.) 10 English Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 11
