Car Battery Voltage Display Mode

Your detector can sense your vehicle’s electrical system voltage 
(

Car Battery Voltage

) and show it on the display during normal 

operation of the unit. The factory setting is Car Battery Voltage on.

Car Battery Low Voltage Warning

In addition to displaying system voltage, your detector can provide a 
warning that battery voltage is low so that timely steps can be taken to 
correct the problem. The 

Car Battery Low

alert is triggered when the 

voltage drops below 11.9 volts. Following the alert, the unit enters 
SmartPower mode to avoid further draining your car battery (see page 18).
The factory setting is Car Battery Low off.

Restore Factory Settings

From the 

Restore Factory Settings

screen, you can quickly and

conveniently restore your detector to its original settings. Confirmation 
messages are provided during the process.
