IntelliShield City Mode Default
City Mode Default makes three levels of Audio Alert suppression available
when you toggle from Highway to City mode (see page 8). The factory setting
is City X.
City X sounds a single beep when an x band signal is first detected.
The alert then sounds when signal strength reaches level 3.
City X+K combines the City X mode with prevention of K band audio
alerts until the signal strength reaches level 2.
City X Beep Off blocks all X band audio alerts until the signal strength
reaches level 3.
IntelliMute Mode
IntelliMute is a unique feature that allows you to avoid alerts you don’t need to
hear because you are stopped or moving slowly. By sensing the “revs” (RPMs)
of your engine, IntelliMute knows when you are at low speed and automatically
mutes alerts (except for strobe signals from emergency vehicles). It works with
all City and Auto Mute modes.
Before IntelliMute will work, you must set an activation point for your engine’s
revs (see page 15). Whenever the revs are below that point, IntelliMute will
begin muting. The activation point will be stored in memory and recalled each
time the power is turned on. The factory setting is IntelliMute off.
An IntelliMute icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute is on and activation
is set. Whenever engine revs are below the activation point, the arrow points
down. When revs are above the activation point the arrow points up.
If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine’s revs, IntelliMute will
indicate an error and automatically turn off.
NOTES
IntelliMute may not work with some vehicles because it cannot sense the
engine’s revs. In such cases, you can reduce unwanted audio alerts by using
Auto Mute and City mode when appropriate.
NOTES
The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle.
NOTES
When initially choosing your IntelliMute activation point, a setting of approximately
300 to 600 RPMs above idle is recommended. You can reset the activation point
at any time to fit your individual preferences and driving style.
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.
Set IntelliMute
After the detector is installed in your vehicle and the unit is turned on,
advance through the User Settings Programming to the Set IntelliMute
setup screen where the activation point can be set.
Setting the activation point progresses from the setup screen shown
on the User Programming Menu Guide (see page 34). From that screen:
1. Press the Mute
button to begin the setting process.
2. Press and hold the vehicle accelerator at the desired engine RPMs.
3. Press the Mute
button to complete the setting process.
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 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.
Once an activation point has been set, you can easily change it by going
directly to Set IntelliMute in User Settings Programming and repeating the
three-step setup process.
