audio volume by rotating the 
ON-OFF/VOLUME CONTROL DIAL 
clockwise (away from you).

You will see and hear the messages

“TESTING”

(3 beeps will sound), 

then 

“SYSTEM READY”, 

“VOICE ALERT”, 

indicating that the

power is on.

3.

The display will cycle through the 
user mode settings (SmartMute

and

City/Highway status) for approximately 
1 second each. 

4.

display continuously shows the 
current compass direction (N, NE, 
E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW) plus 
single letters indicating current user 
mode settings (c = city mode, h =
highway mode, s = SmartMute

on). 

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, you should turn 
off or unplug your ESD-9860 when 
parking for lengthy periods.
