Auto Off Mode 
Your detector includes an Auto Off feature - when turned On, it 
will turn off the detector after the selected amount of time. The 
detector will turn off after this time if no alerts are detected and no 
movement is sensed from the iRadar app. The options are 30, 60, 
90 minutes or Off. The default setting for this setting is Off. 
Note: This feature should only be used if your detectors power 
switch does not turn off with the vehicle's ignition. In addition, 
we recommend to only enable this feature if you use the detector 
with the iRadar app. Using it with the app will prevent unin-
tended shut downs on longer trips. 
Advance App Controlled Functions 
This detector is capable of supporting some advanced functions 
controlled by the iRadar app. They are not in the detectors 
Settings Menu, and are instead easily adjust and changed in the 
iRadar App.
SpeedMute™
This feature will automatically mute unwanted alerts while 
driving below a selectable speed setting. This can be turned 
On and Off and the speed setting adjusted in the iRadar app.
AutoCity™
This feature automatically switches between Highway and 
City modes based on speed and other information from your 
smartphone. It can be turned On and Off in the app.
Phone Mode Advanced Audio Routing Over Bluetooth
Select “Phone” for Alert Audio in the iRadar app. Managed 
audio is sent to the vehicles stereo via Bluetooth or wired Aux 
Input. Alerts can also be sent to a Bluetooth headset.
Auto Mute Mode 
When Auto Mute is On, the audio volume of all alerts is 
automatically reduced after 4 seconds. The signals will remain 
muted for as long as the signal is detected. When Auto Mute is 
Off, the alerts will sound at full volume for as long as the signal 
is detected. The factory setting for Auto Mute is On.
Voice or Tone Mode 
You can set your detector to sound alerts and confirm menu 
settings with either a Voice or a Tone Alert. Voice Alert provides 
voice messages in addition to tones. Tone Alert provides tones 
only. The factory setting is Voice Alert.
Quiet Drive™
Quiet Drive is a muted driving mode for times when a driver 
wants less audible feedback while talking with passengers, 
on the phone, etc. This mode is Off by default. If switched 
On, it will turn to Off again after the detector is power cycled. 
When Quiet Drive is On, the display will Show "QUIET" on the 
Standby Screen like below.
Note: You can also enter Quiet Drive by Pressing and Holding the 
Mute Button.
Threat Area Alert

Scanner will stop moving and become a solid bar that will blink.
Using the Report Button 
You can report to the iRadar Community when you see an 
active police speed enforcement by pressing the MENU 
button for 2 seconds.
iRadar Community
As you approach a specific ThreatArea you 
will hear a short beep and then the app will 
indicate the Cobra’s assessment of the 
reliability of the threat.
High-Threat Area means multiple reports 
have confirmed a legitimate threat in the 
area recently.
Medium or Low-Threat Area means signals 
have been detected but have either not been 
confirmed or have not been reported lately.
Paying attention to threat areas will allow 
you to be warned of potential threats 
before you enter radar detection range. 
Community Radar/Laser alert sharing 
means that you have an entire network 
of users working to keep you and your 
wallet safe.
When you, or any other iRadar user, detects a radar or laser signal 
the alert information is anonymously sent to Cobra’s cloud servers. 
Within seconds, that information is processed and displayed on your 
map as part of a ThreatArea.
Highway, City, City Max and AutoCity™Modes: 
Highway Mode provides full immediate response to all signals de-
tected. Use this mode when you are driving on interstate highways. 
Automatic door openers operate in X and K-band frequencies. 
To minimize unwanted false alerts in an urban environment where 
these sources exist, use one of the City Filtering Modes below:
•Highway: Maximum long range alerting.
•City: automatically mutes X-band audible 
 alert until signal strength reaches level 3 
 or above.
•City MAX: Maximum filtering against 
 urban false signal sources.
