What to Remember While Using IntelliMute
IntelliMute
 works with both City and Auto Mute modes.
Whenever your engine revs are below the activation point, the dot next to  

the large character on the right side of the display will remain lit. Above the 

activation point, the dot will blink twice every two seconds.

If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine’s revs, IntelliMute  

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.

 NOTE  

The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle.

NOTE  

When initially choosing your IntelliMute 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.

Setting the IntelliMute Activation Point
Your detector must be installed in your vehicle.

   CAUTION 

Do not attempt to set the rev point while driving.  

Your vehicle should be parked and idling. 

IntelliMute must be turned On before setting the activation point. Depending 

on whether the unit is in Tone Alert or Voice Alert mode, you will hear a series 

of beeps or voice messages as you follow the steps on the next page.
