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.

With Radar signals, the signal strength meter shows signal 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. Signal Strength • Level 1= Weakest Signal • Level 5= Strongest Signal Ka Band Alert Frequency With Laser signals, you will always receive full alert and pulse rate (PPS) of the corresponding laser gun being used. Laser Pulse Rate Settings Quad-level IntelliSheild™ 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 following simple steps that appear on your unit screen, under User Settings and then IntelliMute.
