If you are having trouble initializing or maintaining your Bluetooth connection completely turn off your smartphone and detector device, wait 30 seconds, and then turn them back on. Now that you are paired with iRadar you're ready to start using the Cobra iRadar app. Downloading the App To download the app you must enter the iTunes Store or Google Play and search for "Cobra iRadar". Follow the onscreen instructions to download and install the Cobra iRadar app. Cobra iRadar App The iRadar app is what separates Cobra from any other detectors out there. Make sure to check out the Tutorial for a full explanation of app features. The Tutorial automatically is displayed the first time you launch the app and then subsequently can be accessed from the Menu. Information on specific settings and explanations of radar bands can be found by pressing the buttons in the settings menus. iRadar Community When you, or any other iRadar user, detects a radar or laser signal the alert information is anonymously sent to Cobra's cloud servers. Within seconds, that information is processed and displayed on your map as part of a Threat Area. As you approach a specific Threat Area you will hear a short beep and then the app will indicate the Cobra's assessment of the reliability of the threat. High-Threat Area means multiple reports have confirmed a legitimate threat in the area recently. Medium or Low-Threat Area means signals have been detected but have either not been confirmed or have not been reported lately. Paying attention to threat areas will allow you to be warned of potential threats before you enter radar detection range. Community Radar/Laser alert sharing means that you have an entire network of users working to keep you and your wallet safe.
