Where to Mount Your Unit
You will get optimum performance from your detector if you Mount it at a point
approximately in the center of the vehicle, as low as possible on the front windshield
without obstructing the unit’s view of the road either to the front or rear. You can also
mount it directly on the dashboard.
The unit’s lens must not be blocked and the LaserEye should have a clear view
out the back window to allow 360° detection. If the GPS Locator unit is installed,
it must have a clear view of the sky to receive GPS signals.
Radar, laser and GPS signals pass through glass but not through other materials and
objects. Objects that can block or weaken incoming signals include:
n Windshield wiper blades
n Mirrored sun screens
n Dark tinting at the top of the windshield
n Heated windshields currently available on some vehicles
(Instaclear for Ford, Electriclear for GM). Consult your dealer
to see if you have this option.

The LaserEye Should Have a Clear View
1. Attach the rubber cups
to the bracket.
2. Make sure the rubber cups and your windshield are clean.
3. Push the bracket rmly onto
the windshield.
4. Attach the detector to
the bracket. Check that
the unit is parallel to the
road’s surface.
5. To adjust the angle if
necessary, gently push or pull
on the bracket to bend it. DO
NOT use the detector to bend
the bracket.
6. Plug the power cord
into the detector.
7. Plug the cigarette lighter
adapter on the power
cord into your vehicle’s
cigarette lighter.
8. You can temporarily remove the detector whenever
you wish by depressing the bracket release button

When changing the Settings on your detector, please keep in mind:
n Buttons can have multiple functions.
– Press means press and release (less than two seconds).
– Hold 2 means press and hold for two or three seconds before releasing.
– Hold 4 means press and hold for four seconds or more before releasing.
n Depending on your choice of Voice Alert or Tone Alert mode, you will hear
either voice messages or tones conrming changes in settings.
n All settings will be stored in memory when the power is turned Off and
recalled when the power is turned back On.
City/Highway Mode
Setting your detector to City mode delays all X band audio alerts until the signal
strength reaches Level 3. (A single beep will sound when the signal is rst detected.)
This will reduce false alerts while you are driving in, or near, urban areas where
there are many sources for conicting X band signals such as microwave towers and
automatic door openers.
To change settings, follow the procedure listed on the next page, which indicates what
you will see and hear (either in Voice Alert or Tone Alert mode) as you complete each
step. The factory setting is Highway mode.

IntelliMute
IntelliMute is a unique feature 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 alerts.
Before IntelliMute will work, you must set an activation point for your engine’s revs (see
page 11). Whenever the revs are below that point, IntelliMute will begin muting. The
activation point will be stored in memory and recalled each time the power is turned On.
The factory setting is IntelliMute Off.

NOTE
IntelliMute may not work with some vehicles because it cannot sense the en-
gine’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 IntelliMute
IntelliMute works with both City and Auto Mute modes. Whenever engine revs are
below the activation point, an arrow pointing down will appear in the display. 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.
NOTE
The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle.
NOTE
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 t your individual preferences
and driving style.
Setting the IntelliMute Activation Point
Your detector must be installed in your vehicle.
IntelliMute must be turned On before setting the activation point. Depending on whether
the unit is in Tone Alert or Voice Alert mode, you will hear a series of
beeps or voice messages as you follow the steps on the next page.

IntelliMute Pro
IntelliMute Pro prevents detection by radar detector detectors (RDDs) such as VG-2,
Spectre I and Spectre IV when traveling at slower speeds. It is intended for use by
experienced users only.
When IntelliMute Pro is turned On, and engine RPMs are below the IntelliMute activation
point, your detector’s radar detection circuits are turned Off to prevent detection by
RDDs.
Before IntelliMute Pro can be turned On, you must have turned On and Set the
IntelliMute activation point. (See pages 11 through 12.)
CAUTION
When IntelliMute Pro is On, NO radar signals will be detected and
NO alerts will be given at RPMs below the IntelliMute activation point.

near your vehicle.
Your detector can be spotted by Spectre IV RDDs, but is invisible to VG-2 and Spectre I
