Cobra XRS 979 Operating Instructions - Page 11

Your Detector Settings User Settings • IntelliShield City Mode Default City Mode Default makes three levels of Audio Alert suppression available when you toggle from Highway to City mode (see page 10). The factory setting is City X. City X sounds a single beep when an x band signal is first detected. The alert then sounds when signal strength reaches level 3. City X+K combines the City X mode with prevention of K band audio alerts until the signal strength reaches level 2. City X Beep Off blocks all X band audio alerts until the signal strength reaches level 3. The City Mode Default can be changed in Menu mode. It can also be changed at any time the detector is in Standby mode: 1. Press and hold the City4button for at least two seconds. The three City modes will be sequentially displayed for three seconds each as long as the button is pressed. 2. Release the City4button while the desired City mode is displayed to set that mode as the default. IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro Modes IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro are two features that are active at slow speeds and when your vehicle is stopped. Both depend on your detector sensing the vehicle's engine "revs" (RPMs) to function. Either feature can be turned On in Menu mode, but not both at the same time. The factory settings are IntelliMute Off and IntelliMute Pro Off. After turning On IntelliMute or IntelliMute Pro, you must then set an Activation Point for your engine's RPMs (see page 18). Whenever the RPMs are below that point, IntelliMute will begin muting or IntelliMute Pro will turn Off the radar detection circuits. The Activation Point will be stored in memory and recalled each time the power is turned On. NOTE IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro may not work with some vehicles because the unit cannot sense the engine's RPMs. In such a case, Auto Mute and City mode can reduce some unwanted audio alerts. 16 English Your Detector Settings IntelliMute Mode IntelliMute allows you to avoid audio 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 (except for strobe signals from emergency vehicles). It works with all City and Auto Mute modes. The IntelliMute icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute is On and the activation point has been set. Whenever engine RPMs are below the Activation Point, the arrow points down. When RPMs are above the Activation Point the arrow points up. Below Activation Point Above Activation Point IntelliMute Pro Mode 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. 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. Below Activation Point Above Activation Point CAUTION When Intellimute Pro is On, NO radar signals will be detected and NO alerts will be given at RPMs below the IntelliMute Pro activation point.
