Rotate clockwise (away from you)

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.
