Touchscreen Controls

The previous section describes the only physical switch on the unit – the On/Off/

Volume dial. All other controls are activated through the touchscreen display.
The display will show various icons and information appropriate to the functions of

the detector. By “Clicking” or “Pressing” the touchscreen, it is possible to control

those functions and to navigate through setup menus.
The touchscreen is sensitive to contact with a bare or gloved finger, a plastic stylus,

or even a pencil or pen. It is also sensitive to the length of time of that contact. So, it

is important to remember these definitions:

Click – A brief touch or tap on the screen.

Press – An extended – about two seconds or longer – touch of the screen.

NOTE

The Press action refers to touch and hold rather than to the pressure or force

applied to the display. Excessive force may damage the display or dislodge

the detector from its bracket. If an instrument is used rather than a finger to

touch the display, take care that it is not sharp and will not leave marks on the

display or damage it.

The following parts of this manual will include directions as to Click or Press and

where on the touchscreen to do so.

NOTE

You may click on any part of the touchscreen to bypass the Alert Settings

display during the Power On sequence and go directly to the standby

screen. You can also bypass timers while changing settings by clicking

on the touchscreen.

NOTE

In some vehicles, power is supplied to the cigarette lighter even while the

ignition is Off. If this is the case with your vehicle and you have turned the

SmartPower Off, you should turn Off or unplug your detector when parking for

lengthy periods. Cobra recommends leaving SmartPower at the factory setting,

which is On. SmartPower is described on page 24.
