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.

IntelliShield City Mode Default
City Mode Default
makes three levels of
Audio Alert
suppression available
when you toggle from
Highway
to
City
mode (see page 10). The factory
setting is City X.
City X
sounds a single beep when an x band signal is first detected.
The alert then sounds when signal strength reaches level 3.
City X+K
combines the City X mode with prevention of K band audio
alerts until the signal strength reaches level 2.
City X Beep Off
blocks all X band audio alerts until the signal strength
reaches level 3.
The City Mode Default can be changed in Menu mode. It can also be changed
at any time the detector is in Standby mode:
1.
Press and hold the
City
button for at least two seconds.
The three City modes will be sequentially displayed for three
seconds each as long as the button is pressed.
2.
Release the
City
button while the desired City mode is
displayed to set that mode as the default.

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
in Menu mode, but not both at the same time. The factory settings are IntelliMute
Off and IntelliMute Pro Off.
After turning On IntelliMute or IntelliMute Pro, you must then set an Activation
Point for your engine’s RPMs (see page 18). Whenever the RPMs are below
that point, IntelliMute will begin muting or IntelliMute Pro will turn Off the radar
detection circuits. The Activation Point will be stored in memory and recalled
each time the power is turned On.
NOTE
IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro may not work with some vehicles because the unit
cannot sense the engine’s RPMs. In such a case, Auto Mute and City mode can
reduce some unwanted audio alerts.
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.
