Introduction

Congratulations! You have just purchased the most sophisticated RADAR/LASER DETECTOR available today.This booklet contains instructions and information designed so that you will be able to understand how the Cobra® ESD-9220 WX works and how radar and (LIDAR) laser are used. Enjoy your Cobra® ESD-9220 WX Radar/Laser Detector and drive safely.

Federal Law Governing Use of Radar Detectors

It is not against Federal Law to receive radar transmissions on your COBRA® Radar Detector. The Communications Act of 1934 guarantees your right to receive radio transmissions on any frequency.Local laws that contravene the Communications Act of 1934, while illegal, may be enforced by your local law enforcement officials until and unless they are prohibited from doing so by Federal Court action.

WARNING: Before leaving your car,make sure that you conceal your radar detector.This will reduce the possibility of break-in and theft of your unit.

Included with your ESD-9220 WX

1. Windshield Bracket

2. Hook and Loop Material

3. Power Cord

and Strobe Alert™

Use of this product is not intended to, and does not ensure that the motorist and any passenger will not be involved in a traffic accident. It is only intended to alert the motorist that an emergency or service vehicle equipped with a CODE 3, Strobe (Opticom* or Tomar Preemption System) or Cobra® Safety Alert® Transmitter is in the area as defined by the range of the product. Please call your local Fire/Police department to verify if coverage exists in your area. Motorists are expected to exercise all due caution while using this product, and to observe and follow all applicable traffic laws. Operators of emergency or service vehicles are also expected to exercise all due caution while using this product, and to observe and follow all applicable traffic laws.

Installation

Note

Adjust the bracket so that the tip of the antenna is at least an inch away from the dashboard.

Dim

City Wx

Mute

Attach cups to bracket.

Attach detector to bracket.

Plug power cord into detector.

Attach bracket to windshield.

Bend bracket for correct detection angle (if needed).

Plug power cord into cigarette lighter.

Place antenna in upright position for optimum reception of weather stations.

Place antenna facing towards dashboard if windshield angle prevents you from placing it upright.

Location

Selecting the proper location to mount the Cobra® ESD-9220 WX is very important for optimum performance. Both radar and laser transmissions pass through glass but not through other objects. For this reason the Cobra® ESD-9220 WX lenses must not be blocked.It should have a view of the rear window to take advantage of LaserEye® 360˚ detection. It is best to locate your detector as low on the front windshield as possible.

Examples of metal in the windshield area that can block or weaken incoming radar/laser signals:

1. Windshield wiper blades.

2. Mirrored sun screens.

3. Regular tinted glass does not affect radar reception, although the darker tint at the top of the tinted windshield prevents laser light from penetrating.

4. Heated windshields, currently available as an option for some Ford® (Instaclear) and GM® (Electriclear vehicles act as an impenetrable barrier to radar signals). If in doubt, check with your dealer to see if this applies to your vehicle.

Exercise Caution.

Facts About the Safety Alert® Traffic Warning System

FCC-approved Safety Alert® Transmitters emit microwave radar signals to indicate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the frequency of these signals, as set on the transmitter, the outgoing signal can indicate whether the transmitter is on a speeding emergency vehicle or train, or at a stationary road hazard location.These microwave signals are located in the K-band and as a result, any radar detector which detects K-band radar will detect these Safety signals as standard K-band radar alerts. However, unlike a standard radar detector,your Cobra® ESD-9220 WX is designed to differentiate between a standard K-band alert and a Safety Alert® warning. Safety technology is relatively new so the number of transmitters in operation is still growing.You may not receive Safety Alert® on a daily basis and should not be surprised to encounter some emergency vehicles, road hazards or trains not yet equipped with these transmitters, therefore failing to provide a signal. As Safety Transmitters become more prevalent (the number of operating transmitters is growing every day), these Safety Alerts® will become more common. The Safety Alert® Transmitter is in use in all 50 states in limited quantities.

Facts About Strobe Alert™

Alerts motorists to over 50,000 emergency vehicles equipped with strobe transmitters that activate red lights at traffic intersections in emergency high speed situations.

Note

Strobe Alert™ is available in over 1,000 cities and works with Tomar and Opticom systems. Call your local Fire/Police department for your area coverage or area in which you will be traveling.

Facts About Safety Alert

Traffic Warning System

Detection

Radar Frequencies

There are now three frequencies that have been approved by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) for use in speed monitoring equipment.They are:

X Band (10.525 GHz), K Band (24.150 GHz) Ka Band (33.400-36.000 GHz)

Your Cobra® ESD-9220 WX can detect signals in all three radar bands including photo radar and STALKER radar which use the Ka band, and Cobra®’s Safety Alert® signals on the K band.

Facts About LIDAR (Laser)

What is LIDAR?

LIDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging. While everyone refers to it as LASER the correct name is LIDAR.

How does LIDAR work?

LIDAR operates a lot like RADAR. Like RADAR, it spreads out. Not as quickly, but it does spread, as shown on the diagram below.

READABLE RANGE

POLICE LASER GUN

LIDARs must have a clear line of sight to target a vehicle during the entire measurement interval. Intervening objects such as signposts, utility poles, tree branches,etc., will prevent a valid speed reading.

Maintenance

Facts About LIDAR (Laser)

Does weather have any effect on LIDAR?

Yes, rain, snow,smoke, fog, and airborne dust particles will all reduce the effective range, and if sufficiently dense, may prevent its operation.

Can LIDAR operate through glass?

Yes, LIDAR guns can obtain readings through most glasses.The laser pulse, however, can also be received through glass to easily and quickly trigger a laser detector's alarm.

Can LIDAR operate while moving?

No, since LIDAR is line of sight, an officer cannot drive, aim, and shoot while driving.

Is a LIDAR DETECTOR legal to use?

Yes, it is legal in all 50 states.

Maintenance

Your COBRA® ESD-9220 WX RADAR/LASER DETECTOR will give you years of trouble-free service with minimum maintenance.

Replacing Power Cord Fuse

Unscrew cap of cigarette lighter adapter and remove fuse. Replace with 1-ampere fuse only.

Troubleshooting

If your COBRA® LASER DETECTOR ESD-9220 WX isn’t operating, we suggest you make the following checks:

1. Is the power cord properly connected?

2. Is the fuse OK?

3. Is the cigarette lighter socket clean and free from corrosion?
