Alert Screens and Settings
Radar bands consist of X-band, K-band, and Ka-band. With Radar
signals, the signal strength meter shows signal strength of the
radar gun giving the relative proximity to the source.
The Settings Menu allows turning these bands On and Off. In addi-
tion, this detector has three modes for displaying these radar band
alerts. Frequency Display Mode On, Off, and Advanced can be se-
lected from the Settings Menu. The default is Off, but Cobra would
recommend switching to Advanced after reading this manual and
understanding the alerts graphics on the following page.
Color Coded Threat Areas*
When connected to the Cobra iRadar app, the color of the Radar
Band, laser or Location Based Alerts and Standby Screens will
change. The color indicates the threat level for the area your ve-
hicle is located. The threat level is calculated by Cobra's powerful
servers and displayed on your smart phone and the detector.
White= Not Connected, Blue= Low Threat Level, Orange=
Medium Threat Area, Red= High Threat Area.

signal strength.
Ka Band Alert- Red color indicates detector is
connected to the App and in a high threat area.
Signal Strength-
Level1 = Weakest Signal
Level 5= Strongest Signal
Frequency Display Mode On
This is a more advanced mode. The exact frequency of the
detected radar signal will also be shown.
Ka band Alert-Orange color indicates detector is connected to
the App and in a medium threat area.
I
Frequency Display -The exact frequency
of the detected radar signal

Frequency Display Mode Advanced
This is a new advanced and very useful mode. A graph is shown
with the detected radar frequency and where it falls in relation to
the center frequency of the closest radar gun. The closer the signal
strength bar is to the center of the display the more likely it's a high
priority real alert.
Ka Band Alert. White color indicates
not connected to the app.
Laser Alert Screens
Height and color of bar
shows signal strength.
Proximity to the center
shows likely real alert.
With Laser signals, you will always receive full alert. The word
LASER will be shown on the display. The color of the word LASER
indicates the iRadar threat area level. When connected to the
Cobra iRadar app, the LaserRelay™ feature will be activated. Laser
alerts will be simultaneously relayed to other users of a detector
with iRadar functionality.
Red color indicates
connected and high
threat area.

AURA® Location-based Alerts (LBAs) and
iRadar Community
