Thank you for purchasing Cobra's maximum performance radar/laser detector. Please read this manual to familiarize yourself with the various features your detector offers. Controls and Connections Power/Volume Control • Press to turn power On and Off. • Push forward or pull back to adjust volume. Dim Button • Allows you to adjust the UltraBright Data Display brightness for easy reading. • SmartPower* * See Buttons and Controls chart for additional information. Windshield Bracket Mounting Slot LaserEye For 360° detection of laser signals. 12V Power Jack IntelliMute Button • Engine RPM sensing mute function which reduces false alerts. • Turns IntelliMute On and Off. • Also enters IntelliMute setting mode (see IntelliMute section). Mute/Set Button • Press once to manually mute audio alerts. • Also turns Voice Alert On and Off.* City Button • For City or Highway modes to reduce false alerts. • Low car Voltage On and Off. 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 moving the detector from car to car. Make sure to thoroughly clean the suction cups and windshield mounting area to insure a tight seal. Suction Cup Mount Hook and Loop Fastener- Included for dashboard mounting. Hook & Loop Fastener Your detector should be mounted so that it is oriented parallel to the road. Windshield Correct Position Incorrect Positions 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. Powering Plug in your detector using the included cigarette lighter adapter. Turn your detector on/off by pressing the Power/Volume switch on the side of the unit. The unit will light up. 12V Cigarette Lighter Adapter 12V Power Jack Power/Volume Control 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 provide 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. Ka Band Alert Frequency Signal Strength • Level 1= Weakest Signal • Level 5= Strongest Signal 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. Buttons and Controls You can change your detector's user/alert settings by pressing one or more of the Control buttons as shown below.

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.
