IntelliMute

IntelliMute is a unique new feature of your
detector 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, IntelliMute knows
when you are at low speed and
automatically mutes all alerts (except for
strobe signals from emergency vehicles).
Before IntelliMute will work, you must set
an activation point for your engine's revs
(see page 12). Whenever the revs are
below that point, IntelliMute will begin
muting. The activation point will be stored
in memory and recalled each time power is
turned on.

When you turn IntelliMute on you will hear
2 beeps and "i" will appear in the display.
When you turn IntelliMute off you will hear
1 beep. (See page 7 for instructions using
the Program mode to turn IntelliMute mode
on or off.)

The factory setting is IntelliMute off.
NOTE: IntelliMute 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 modes when appropriate.
What to Remember While Using IntelliMute
IntelliMute works with all City and Auto
Mute modes.
Whenever engine revs are below the
activation point, an arrow pointing down
will appear in the display.
N W i h
Above the activation point, an arrow
pointing up will appear.

If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing
your engine's revs, IntelliMute 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
detector in a different vehicle.
Important: When initially choosing your
IntelliMute 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.
