SmartMute ™
SmartMute ™ is a unique new feature of the
ESD-9560 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, SmartMute
™
knows when you are at low speed and
automatically mutes all alerts (except for
strobe signals from emergency vehicles).
Before SmartMute ™ will work, you must
set an activation point for your engine’s revs
(see page 12). Whenever the revs
are below that point, SmartMute
™ will begin
muting. The activation point will be stored
in memory and recalled each time power is
turned on.
When you turn SmartMute™ on you will
hear two beeps and “
s” will appear in
the display. When you turn SmartMute™
off you will hear one beep. (See page 7
for instructions using the Program mode
to select SmartMute
™ .)
The factory setting is SmartMute ™ off.
NOTE: SmartMute ™ 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 modes when appropriate.

What to Remember
While Using SmartMute
™
SmartMute ™ works with both City and Auto
Mute modes.
Whenever engine revs are below the
activation point, an arrow pointing down
will appear in the display.
Above the activation point, an arrow
pointing up will appear.
If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing
your engine’s revs, SmartMute
™ will indicate
an error and automatically turn off.
The rev point you set will be stored in
the unit’s memory when power is turned
off, and recalled each time the power is
turned on.
The rev point must be reset if you use your
ESD-9560 in a different vehicle.
Important: When initially choosing your
SmartMute
™ 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.
