Cobra SPX 6700 SPX 6700 - Page 2

IntelliMute® continued • IntelliMute Engine RPM Activation Point Not Set. • IntelliMute On/Above Set Engine RPM Activation Point. • IntelliMute On/Below Set Engine RPM Activation Point. Note: IntelliMute may not work with some vehicles, especially hybrids or EVs because the detector cannot sense the engine RPMs. In such case, Quad-level IntelliShield City Filtering or Auto Mute can help reduce unwanted audible alerts. IntelliMute® Pro: IntelliMute Pro prevents detection by radar detector detectors (RDDs) such as VG-2, Spectre I and Spectre IV when traveling at slower speeds. It is intended for use by experienced users only. When IntelliMute Pro is turned On and engine RPMs are below the IntelliMute Pro Activation Point, your detector's radar detection circuits are turned Off to prevent detection by RDDs. IntelliMute Pro cannot be turned on until IntelliMute is turned on and set. The IntelliMute Pro icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute Pro is On and the Activation Point has been set. Whenever engine RPMs are below the Activation Point, the arrow points down with the "i" blinking. When RPMs are above the Activation Point the arrow points up with the "i" blinking. Auto Mute Mode When Auto Mute is On, the audio volume of all alerts is automatically reduced after 4 seconds. The signals will remain muted for as long as the signal is detected. When Auto Mute is Off, the alerts will sound at full volume for as long as the signal is detected. The factory setting for Auto Mute is On. Illumination The display illumination intensity can be adjusted to suit driving conditions: • Bright for daytime driving. (Factory default is Bright, then Display Timeout after 1 minute). • Dim for dusk driving. • Dark to blank the screen for discreet use. In this mode, alerts will sound but not show. (The display scanner circle will move slowly back and forth near the bottom of the screen to indicate the unit is turned On). You can adjust the illumination by pressing the Dim button and to step through the levels in the sequence listed above. Dim/ Button Display Timeout Your detector has a Display Timeout mode. After 1 minute, the screen will change to Dark from Bright, Dim, or Dimmer. In Display Timeout mode, the display scanner circle will move slowly back and forth near the bottom of the screen to indicate the unit is turned On and detecting. Note: While at the Dark level under timer control, any alert will turn the display back on at the last brightness setting (Bright, Dim or Dimmer). Touching any button will also turn On the the display. SmartPower Mode Your detector includes the SmartPower feature that, when turned On, will put the unit into Low Power mode 15 minutes after the car's engine has been turned Off. Before SmartPower enters Low Power mode, you will hear three beeps and SmartPower will flash on the display. To return the unit to Normal Power mode and exit Low Power mode, start the car, press any button or turn the unit Off and then On again. The factory setting is SmartPower On. 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. Detection Your detector is capable of detecting the following signals in addition to X, K, Ka, Ku-Band and Laser signals. Instant-On Signals: Your detector is designed to detect Instant-On speed monitoring signals, which can suddenly appear at full strength on your detector's signal strength indicator. POP Detection: Your detector is designed to detect single pulse mode radars. These radars are designed to have a low probability of detection. You should note that these radar guns have a much shorter range while in this mode. VG-2, Spectre 1, & IV+: Police use radar detector detectors (RDDs) to spot users of radar detectors in a commercial vehicle. Your detector is able to identify signals from VG-2, Spectre I, and Spectre IV RDDs and can provide alerts when any of these or similar devices are in use near your vehicle. You can choose whether you want to be alerted to VG-2, Spectre I, & IV RDD signals. Safety Alert Traffic Warning System: FCC-approved Safety Alert transmitters emit microwave radar signals that indicate the presence of a safetyrelated concern. Depending on the frequency of the signal emitted, it can indicate a speeding emergency vehicle or train, or a stationary road hazard. Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert signals as standard K band radar. Your detector, however, is designed to differentiate between standard K band and Safety Alert signals, and give separate alerts for each. When you receive such an alert, please watch for emergency vehicles ahead of you, on cross streets and behind you. If you see an emergency vehicle approaching, please pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass. Strobe Alert: Special strobes mounted on the light bars of authorized emergency vehicles (fire trucks, police cars, ambulances) automatically change traffic signals as the vehicle approaches an intersection. These strobes and the special strobe detectors located on the traffic signals, introduced fairly recently by 3M and Tomar, are already in use in more than 1000 cities nationwide. Cobra's exclusive Strobe Alert detector will detect these special strobes and give an emergency vehicle alert. When you receive such an alert, please watch for an approaching emergency vehicle and pull over to allow it to pass. To inquire about coverage in your area, contact your local fire and police departments. Responding to Alerts*: Description Tone repeats slowly at first, then speeds up rapidly. Tone sounds one time only. Interpretation Probably police radar. Recommended Response FULL ALERT Probably a false alarm, but Exercise caution possibly pulsed radar, Spectre I or IV+ or VG-2 nearby. Tone instantly begins repeating rapidly. Tone repeats slowly as you approach a hill or bridge, then speeds up sharply as you reach it. Tone repeats slowly for a short period. Radar, Spectre I or IV+ or VG-2 nearby has been activated suddenly. FULL ALERT Probably police radar beyond FULL ALERT the hill or bridge. Probably a false alarm. Exercise caution Any type of laser alert. Laser alerts are never false alarms. FULL ALERT Any Safety Alert. You are nearing an Exercise caution emergency vehicle, railroad crossing or road hazard (construction, accident, etc.). *To turn these Detection features On or Off, see "Buttons & Controls" chart.
