SmartMute

™

SmartMute™ is a unique new feature of the ESD-9160 that allows you to avoid alerts you don’t need to hear because you are stopped or moving slowly. By sensing the ”revs“ (RPMs) of your engine, SmartMute™ knows when you are at low speed and automatically mutes alerts (except for strobe signals from emergency vehicles).

Before SmartMute™ will work, you must set an activation point for your engine's revs (see page 11). Whenever the revs are below that point, SmartMute™ will begin muting. The activation point will be stored

in memory and recalled each time the power is turned on.

The factory setting is SmartMute™ OFF.

NOTE: SmartMute™ may not work with some vehicles because it cannot sense the engine’s revs. In such cases, you can reduce unwanted audio alerts by using Auto Mute and City mode when appropriate.

What to Remember While Using SmartMute

™

SmartMute™ works with both City and Auto Mute modes.

Whenever your engine revs are below the activation point, the dot next to the large character on the right side of the display will remain lit. Above the activation point, the dot will blink twice every 2 seconds.

If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine's revs, SmartMute™ will indicate an error and automatically turn off.

The rev point you set will be stored in the unit's memory when power is turned off, and recalled each time the power is turned on.

The rev point must be reset if you use your ESD-9160 in a different vehicle.

Important: When initially choosing your SmartMute™ activation point, a setting of approximately 300 to 600 RPMs above idle is recommended. You can reset the activation point at any time to fit your individual preferences and driving style.

Compass

Your ESD-9160 includes an internal 8-point compass that will continuously display your current direction of travel: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW.

Calibrating the Compass

Important: Before using it for the first

time, you must calibrate the compass to provide accurate indications of direction.

Calibration allows the compass electronics to measure and store information about the magnetic fields generated by your vehicle.

The compass will remain accurately calibrated as long as your ESD-9160 is mounted in the same place in your vehicle. If you change the location where the unit is mounted or move it to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the compass.

The compass temporarily may not provide accurate readings if you are inside a building or enclosure, or are close to a large metal tractor/trailer, truck, or train. Once you are away from such a location, the compass will work correctly again.

NOTE: If you do not press

the CITY button the second time within 60 seconds, compass calibration will automatically terminate.

DETECTION

* your ESD-9160 provides LaserEye®360° detection of these signals

Signals Detected

The tables on the following pages show you the types of signals your ESD-9160 will detect, as well as the visual alerts it provides for each one.

Audio Alerts

A distinctly different alert tone is used for each type of signal detected (including separate tones for each laser signal). For X, K, and Ka band radar signals, the tones will repeat faster as you approach the signal source. The repeat rate of the tones gives you useful information about the signal detected. (See Responding to Alerts, page 16.)

Visual Display

An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the UltraBright™ Data Display. During X, K and Ka alerts, a number will also appear, indicating the strength of the signal detected. (1 = weakest, 5 = strongest)

During laser alerts the letter ”L“ will appear, instead of the signal strength indication.

During VG-2 Alert,

UNDERSTANDING RADAR & LASER

Does weather have any affect on LIDAR?

Yes. Rain, snow, smoke, fog, or airborne dust particles will reduce the effective range of LIDAR and can, if dense enough, prevent its operation.

Can LIDAR operate through glass?

Yes. Newer LIDAR guns can obtain readings through most types of glass.

However, the laser pulse also can be received through glass to trigger an alarm by your ESD-9210.

Can LIDAR operate while in motion?

No. Because LIDAR operates by line of sight, the person using it cannot drive the vehicle, aim, and operate the gun all at the same time.

Is LIDAR legal to use?

Yes. It is legal in all 50 states.

Some common questions about LIDAR include:

Strobe Alert

™

Special strobes mounted on the light bars of authorized emergency vehicles (fire trucks, police cars, ambulances) automatically change traffic signals as the vehicle approaches an intersection. These strobes and the special strobe detectors located on the traffic signals, introduced fairly recently by 3M and Tomar, are already in use in more than 1000 cities nationwide. Cobra’s exclusive Strobe Alert™ detector will detect these special strobes and give an Emergency Vehicle alert.

When you receive such an alert, please watch for an approaching emergency vehicle and pull over to allow it to pass. To inquire about coverage in your area, contact your local fire and police departments.

LIDAR (laser)

The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is actually LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging.

LIDAR operates much like radar. Its signal spreads out like a radar signal, though not as quickly. Unlike radar, LIDAR must have a clear line of sight to its target vehicle throughout the entire measurement interval. Obstructions such as sign posts, utility poles, tree branches, etc., will prevent valid speed measurement.

Radar Speed Monitoring Systems

Three band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment:

X band 10.525 GHz K band 24.150 GHz Ka band 33.400-36.00 GHz

Your ESD-9160 detects signals in all three radar bands.

VG-2

VG-2 is a "detector detector" that works by detecting low-level signals emitted by most radar detectors. Your ESD-9160 does not emit signals that can be detected by VG-2, but does detect VG-2 signals and will alert you when a device is in use near your vehicle.

Safety Alert®Traffic Warning System

FCC-approved Safety Alert

transmitters emit microwave radar signals that indicate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the frequency of the signal emitted, it can indicate a speeding

emergency vehicle or train, or a stationary road hazard.

Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert

signals as standard K band radar. Your ESD-9160, however, is designed to differentiate between standard K band and Safety Alert

signals, and give separate

alerts for each. Safety Alert

technology is relatively new.

Safety Alert

transmitters can be found in limited numbers in all 50 states, but the number is growing. Depending on your location, you may not receive these alerts regularly and may often encounter emergency vehicles, trains, and road hazards without being alerted. As the number of transmitters increases, these alerts will become more common.

When you receive such an alert, please watch for emergency vehicles ahead of you, on cross streets, and behind you. If you see an emergency vehicle approaching, please pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

Maintenance of Your Radar Detector

Your ESD-9160 is designed and built to give you years of trouble-free performance without the need for service. No routine maintenance is required.
