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 on.
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.
SmartPower Mode
Your detector includes the
SmartPower
feature that, when turned on,
will put the unit into Standby mode (low power) 15 minutes after the
car’s engine has been turned off.
Before SmartPower enters Standby mode, you will hear three beeps and
SmartPower will flash on the display. To return the unit to normal Power
mode and exit Standby mode, start the car, press any button or turn the
unit off and then on again. The factory setting is SmartPower on.
Display Timeout
Display timeout
determines how long the Standby screen is illuminated
before switching the unit to Dark. The factory default is 30 seconds.
You can set the time interval to 15 seconds, 30 seconds, one minute, three
minutes, or Always On (see User Settings Programming described on page 12).
Dim Mode Default (Display Brightness)
You can set the default level for the
Dim
mode (Dim, Dimmer or Dark)
as discussed in the Display Brightness Control section on page 7.
The factory setting is Dim.
