Your Detector

English

Muting an Alert

Your detector allows you to quickly turn Off an audio 

Alert

 by momentarily pressing the 

Mute

 button. If you press the 

Mute

 button a second time 

during the Alert, the audio Alert will be turned back on.

Auto Mute Mode

Auto Mute

 will automatically reduce the audio volume of all alerts 

after four seconds for as long as the signal is detected. The factory  

setting for Auto Mute is on.

IntelliMute

IntelliMute

 is a unique feature 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, IntelliMute knows when you are at low speed and automatically mutes audio 

radar alerts.
 Before IntelliMute will work, you must set an activation point for your engine’s revs (see 

page 10). Whenever the revs are below that point, IntelliMute will begin muting. The 

activation point will be stored in memory and recalled  

each time the power is turned on. The factory setting is IntelliMute Off.

 NOTE 

IntelliMute 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 mode when appropriate.
