Operation
AutoLearn™ Intelligence
The AutoLearn feature analyzes (over time) the source of radar signals by location and frequency.
This allows MAX 360c MKII to determine if a fixed location signal is a real threat or a false one. If it
determines that the signal is an automatic door opener, motion sensor, etc., it automatically locks out
this source at this particular location. A "Stored" message will appear on the display when a signal has
been automatically locked out. AutoLearn needs to encounter the exact frequency in the same location
approximately three times to lock it out. Since some door openers are turned on and off routinely, some
variations may occur. Variations may also occur with seasonal temperature changes that can affects the
frequency that these radar sources transmit.
MAX 360c MKII will also unlearn signals to protect you from locking out real threats. If a particular signal
is no longer present at a location that was previously locked out, MAX 360c MKII will unlock that signal. If
you prefer, you can turn the AutoLearn feature off.
GPS Filter (TrueLock)
MAX 360c MKII is equipped with a TrueLock GPS Filter to store and lock out, or ignore, fixed location
false alerts in its memory. Common sources of fixed location false alerts are storefront automatic door
openers and motion sensors. The TrueLock GPS Filter will not lock out moving false alerts that are
commonly caused by vehicle's blind spot monitoring and collision avoidance systems.
Locking Out False Alerts
To manually lock out a fixed location false alert (X band, K band or laser only), press the MUTE button
three times during an alert. Pressing the first time will silence the audio. Pressing a second time will
generate a prompt on the display that will read "Lockout?" Press a third time to confirm you want to lock
this signal out by location and frequency. A "Stored" message will be displayed. Once a signal has been
stored, MAX 360c MKII will not audibly alert the next time you approach this area but will display the
locked-out alert in grey.
Locked Out Alert
To unlock a signal that has already been stored, simply press the MUTE button twice while receiving the
locked out alert. The display will read "Unlock?" when pressing MUTE the first time. Press the MUTE
button again to unlock it from memory. The display will read "Unlocked" to confirm your action.
Note: When the GPS Filter is set to OFF, you do not have access to MAX 360c MKII's other GPS-
enabled features (e.g., Defender Database alerts, marking locations, etc.).

Operation
AutoPower
This feature automatically turns off MAX 360c MKII after a set period of time to save unnecessary drain
on your battery. This is especially useful if your vehicle has a constant-power ignition. To turn MAX 360c
MKII on again you must press the power button.
Note: If AutoPower is on, to save screen life the display screen goes blank after 30 minutes without
moving. The display screen will turn on automatically after you reach 10MPH.
Band Enables
In the factory default setting the suggested radar and laser bands for North America are monitored and
sources of some common false alerts are rejected. It is highly recommended that you use your MAX
360c MKII in this mode.
If you modify Band Enables then this setting will show Modified. The MAX 360c MKII will also notify you
during the startup sequence with an audible alert.
WARNING: Do not turn off any Band Enables unless you are absolutely certain there are no traffic radar
guns in your area using that specific band.
K Notch
Reduces sensitivity of K band in the frequency range of 24.190 – 24.210 GHz. This is effective at
reducing alerts to certain vehicle collision avoidance systems.
Shifters (only available when optional ZR5 or ZW5 laser shifters are connected)
Sets the shifter mode of operation. Receive = receive-only mode. Shift4/6/8/10 puts the laser shifters
into receive-only mode after 4/6/8/10 seconds from receiving an alert. After 30 seconds of not receiving
a Laser alert, the shifters automatically return to shift mode. You can also manually put the laser shifters
into receive-only mode by double tapping the Mute button on the detector or SmartCord.

Red light cameras 250 ft or 10 seconds
