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. The factory default is 30 seconds.
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. The factory setting
is Compass Off.
A Compass icon and directional heading will appear in
the display when the Compass is On and calibrated.
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.
Set IntelliMute
After the detector is installed in your vehicle and IntelliMute is turned On
using Menu mode, advance to the Set IntelliMute setup screen where the
activation point can be set.
From the setup screen:
1. Press the City
button to advance one screen.
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 Menu and repeating the three-step
setup process.
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.
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. Tone Alert provides tones only. The factory setting is Voice Alert.
