[. . . ] Introduction Important Information and Customer Assistance · Important Information 12 Operating Instructions Federal Laws Governing the Use of Radar Detectors It is not against federal law to receive radar transmissions with your Cobra radar/ laser detector. The Communications Act of 1924 guarantees your right to receive radio transmissions on any frequency. Local laws that contravene this Act, while illegal, may be enforced by your local law enforcement officials until and unless they are prohibited from doing so by federal court action. Safety/Strobe Alert Use of this product is not intended to, and does not, ensure that motorists or passengers will not be involved in traffic accidents. [. . . ] The unit will provide corresponding messages for these conditions. Customizable Display Colors Your detector includes the Color Theme feature that allows you to customize the display screen color scheme to match your car's dash illumination: Multi-Color, Red, Blue, Orange, or Green. The factory setting is Multi-Color. Display Timeout Display Timeout determines how long the Standby screen is illuminated before switching the unit to Dark. You can set the time interval to 15 seconds, 30 seconds, one minute, three minutes or Always On (display never turns Off). Compass Mode Your detector includes an internal 8-point magnetic Compass that can continuously display your current direction of travel: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW. Before the magnetic compass will work properly, it must be calibrated. Calibration allows the Compass electronics to measure and store information about the magnetic fields generated by your vehicle so direction indications will be accurate. A Compass icon and directional heading will appear in the display when the Compass is On and calibrated. N NW 8-Point Compass NE Once an activation point has been set, you can easily change it by going directly to Set IntelliMute in User Settings Menu and repeating the three-step setup process. W E 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. The factory setting for Auto Mute is On. SW S SE Voice or Tone Mode You can set your detector to sound alerts and confirm menu settings with either a Voice or a Tone Alert. Voice Alert provides voice messages in addition to tones. The factory setting is Voice Alert. The Compass will remain accurately calibrated as long as your detector is mounted in the same place in your vehicle. If you change the location where the unit is mounted or move it to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the Compass. You should also recalibrate the Compass if you suspect it is providing inaccurate directions. The Compass temporarily may not provide accurate readings if you are inside a building or enclosure, or are close to a large metal tractor/trailer, truck, or train. Once you are away from such a location, the Compass will work correctly again. If the Optional GPSL is installed and receiving a signal, its Compass function will override the magnetic Compass. 18 English Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 19 Your Detector Settings Your Detector Settings Set Compass After the detector is installed in your vehicle and Compass is turned On using Menu mode, the system will automatically advance to the Set Compass calibration screen from which the calibration can be performed. WARNING Before calibrating the Compass, go to a large parking lot or other safe, low-traffic area. SmartPower Mode Your detector includes the SmartPower feature that, when turned On, will put the unit into Low Power mode 15 minutes after the car's engine has been turned Off.
