IntelliMute Pro Mode
IntelliMute Pro

 prevents detection by radar detector detectors (RDDs) such as 

VG-2, Spectre I and Spectre IV when traveling at slower speeds. It is intended for 

use by experienced users only.
When IntelliMute Pro is turned On and engine RPMs are below the IntelliMute 

Pro Activation Point, 

your detector’s radar detection circuits are turned Off to 

prevent detection by RDDs.

The 

IntelliMute Pro

 icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute Pro is On 

and the Activation Point has been set. Whenever engine RPMs are below the 

Activation Point, the arrow points down with the “i” blinking. When RPMs are 

above the Activation Point the arrow points up with the “i” blinking

IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro Modes

IntelliMute

 and 

IntelliMute Pro

 are two features that are active at slow speeds 

and when your vehicle is stopped. Both depend on your detector sensing the 

vehicle’s engine “revs” (RPMs) to function. Either feature can be turned On, but 

not both at the same time. 
Before turning On IntelliMute or IntelliMute Pro, you must first set an Activation 

Point for your engine’s RPMs (see page 22). Whenever the RPMs are below that 

point, IntelliMute can begin muting or IntelliMute Pro can turn Off the radar 

detection circuits.

NOTE 

IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro may not work with some vehicles  

because the unit cannot sense the engine’s RPMs. In such a case,  

City

 and 

Auto Mute

 mode can reduce some unwanted audio alerts.

IntelliMute On and Off 

To turn IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro On or Off, click on the 

IntelliMute

 icon 

to step through the settings. The settings in the sequence of IntelliMute On, 

IntelliMute Pro On, IntelliMute/IntelliMute Pro Off.

The IntelliMute icon

IntelliMute Mode
IntelliMute

 allows you to avoid audio alerts you don’t need to hear because you are 

stopped or moving slowly. By sensing the RPMs of your engine, IntelliMute knows 

when you are at low speed and automatically mutes alerts (except for strobe signals 

from emergency vehicles). It works with all 

City

 and 

Auto Mute

 modes.

The 

IntelliMute

 icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute is On and the 

activation point has been set. Whenever engine RPMs are below the Activation 

Point, the arrow points down. When RPMs are above the Activation Point the 

arrow points up.

CAUTION

When IntelliMute Pro is On, NO radar signals will be detected and NO 

alerts will be given at RPMs below the IntelliMute Pro activation point.
