Power On/Off
•
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. See page 18.
NOTE
When the system is first turned on from new, only the City or Highway icon will show on
the screen because the Show Compass, IntelliMute and Show Car Battery Voltage functions
are set to off at the factory. See pages 14, 16 and 19 to turn these functions on.
Standby Screen Icons
•
City Mode Highway Mode Compass Battery Voltage
Your detector uses the following icons to indicate modes and functions when set:
NOTE
For example, the sample screen indicates that IntelliMute is active,
the Compass is calibrated, your system is set to Highway mode and
your vehicle’s battery voltage is charged to 13.8 volts.
Display Brightness Control
•
Your detector has a Bright display mode (for daytime driving)
and three levels of the Dim display mode:
■ Dim for dusk driving.
■ Dimmer for night driving.
■ Dark to prevent all visual alerts from displaying.
The factory setting is Dim. This level can be changed
in programming mode (see page 10.)
You can toggle between Bright and Dim modes
by pressing the Dim
button.
NOTE
When you change to Dim mode, the unit will enter
whichever dim default mode is set at the time.
NOTE
At the dark setting the
display will show a small
dot moving back and forth
toward the bottom of the
screen to indicate the unit
is turned on.
