[. . . ] The system will store the engine RPM setting and provide a completion message on the display as well as a tone or voice message. NOTE If the unit is unable to sense usable pulses within three seconds or if you do not set a rev point within 30 seconds of beginning the setup, IntelliMute or IntelliMute Pro will indicate an error. If you do not try again within five seconds, it will automatically turn Off. The unit will provide corresponding messages for these conditions. Auto Mute Mode When Auto Mute is On, it automatically reduces the audio volume of all alerts after they have sounded for four 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.

NOTE The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle. Frequency Display Mode Different Ka radar and LIDAR (Laser) guns operate at various frequencies within their assigned spectrums.
