Your Detector Settings Spectre I & IV+ Alerts Police use radar detector detectors (RDDs) to spot users of radar detectors. Your detector is able to identify signals from Spectre I and Spectre IV+ RDDs and can provide alerts when any of these or similar devices are in use near your vehicle. Your detector can be spotted by Spectre IV+ RDDs, but is invisible to Spectre I RDDs. You can choose whether you want to be alerted to Spectre I & IV+ RDD signals. The factory setting is Spectre Detect Off. Spectre Audio Mode When Spectre Audio mode is On, alerts will be sounded as well as being displayed on the screen. This setting is only available if Spectre Alert is On. The factory setting is Spectre Audio Off. Safety Alert When Safety Alert mode is On, Safety Alert radar signals will be detected and an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect other signals. The factory setting is Safety Alert On. Strobe Alert remains On when Safety Alert is turned Off. 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. The factory setting is Car Battery Low Off. NOTE For alerts available only with the Optional GPS Locator unit, see pages 34 and 35. 24 English Your Detector Detection Detection • Signals Detected The tables on the following pages show the types of Signals your detector will detect, as well as the visual alerts it provides for each of them. Audio Alerts A distinctly different Alert tone is used for each type of signal detected (including separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K, Ka and Ku band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as you approach the signal source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful information about the signal detected. See responding to alerts on page 28. Visual Display An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the OLED Data Display. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, you will also see symbols indicating the strength of the signal detected on a scale of one to five. Pop alerts always show at level five as soon as they are detected. Signal Strength Signal Strength = 1 Signal Strength = 2 Signal Strength = 3 Signal Strength = 4 Signal Strength = 5 (Weakest Signal) (Strongest Signal) Radar Signals and Visual Displays X Band Radar K Band Radar Ka Band Radar Ku Band Radar Pop Radar Mode Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 25
