If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine's revs, IntelliMute or IntelliMute Pro will indicate an error and automatically turn Off. NOTE The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle. NOTE When initially choosing your IntelliMute or IntelliMute Pro Activation Point, a setting of approximately 300 to 600 RPMs above idle is recommended. CAUTION Do not attempt to set the rev point while driving. Your vehicle should be parked and idling to avoid a collision during the process.
