Spectre I & Iv+ Alerts; Spectre Audio Mode; Safety Alert; Car Battery Low Voltage Warning - Cobra XRS 9960G Operating Instructions Manual

Settings
Your Detector
Spectre I & IV+ Alerts
Police use radar detector detectors (RDDs) to spot users of radar detectors.
Your detector is able to identify signals from Spectre I and Spectre IV+ RDDs
and can provide alerts when any of these or similar devices are in use near
your vehicle.
Your detector can be spotted by Spectre IV+ RDDs, but is invisible to
Spectre I RDDs. You can choose whether you want to be alerted to Spectre I
& IV+ RDD signals. The factory setting is Spectre Detect Off.

Spectre Audio Mode

When Spectre Audio mode is On, alerts will be sounded as well as being
displayed on the screen. This setting is only available if Spectre Alert is On.
The factory setting is Spectre Audio Off.

Safety Alert

When Safety Alert mode is On, Safety Alert radar signals will be detected
and an alert will be given. During the alert, the unit will continue to detect
other signals. The factory setting is Safety Alert On. Strobe Alert remains On
when Safety Alert is turned Off.

Car Battery Low Voltage Warning

In addition to displaying system voltage, your detector can provide a
warning that battery voltage is low so that timely steps can be taken to
correct the problem. The Car Battery Low alert is triggered when the
voltage drops below 11.9 volts. Following the alert, the unit enters
SmartPower mode to avoid further draining your car battery.
The factory setting is Car Battery Low Off.
NOTE
For alerts available only with the Optional GPS Locator unit,
see pages 34 and 35.

Signals Detected

The tables on the following pages show the types of Signals your detector
will detect, as well as the visual alerts it provides for each of them.

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, Ka and Ku 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 on page 28.

Visual Display

An indication of the type of signal detected will appear in the OLED Data
Display. During X, K, Ka and Ku alerts, you will also see symbols indicating
the strength of the signal detected on a scale of one to five. Pop alerts always
show at level five as soon as they are detected.
