Introduction

COBRA XRS 9940 - Introduction - 1

Overview

This manual describes the simple steps for mounting, setting up and using your detector. It also provides helpful information about how radar and laser guns are used and how you can interpret the alerts you receive.

Before you begin your installation, please read the important information section on page A1 and use the descriptions and feature lists on pages A2 and A3 to become familiar with your new detector.

About Your Detector

Display

This detector's innovative new display provides more, easier-to-use information than any technology to date. Using an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen, the display offers large graphical alerts to signals as they are detected. Do not be alarmed by the nearly blank display you see when you first turn the unit on. The detector will function and alerts will appear as signals are detected. You can also elect to turn on the built-in Compass, IntellMute and Car Voltage so that they appear during normal operation. The initial and startup screens are shown on page 6.

Programming

EasySet Programming lets you conveniently customize the operation of your detector by changing the settings. You may want to start using the detector with the factory settings and then make changes after you are more familiar with the unit.

About This Manual

Please take a moment to learn about some special features of this manual.

Modular Descriptions

Once the detector is in use, this manual can be used as a ready reference to individual topics as needed. Each topic is completely covered in its section and cross-references to related topics are included where appropriate.

Appendix

The appendix pages 34–36 provide quick reference charts on the programming features of your detector.

Installation

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.

COBRA XRS 9940 - Where to Mount Your Unit - 1

The unit's lens must not be blocked and the LaserEye should have a clear view out the back window to allow 360° detection.

COBRA XRS 9940 - Where to Mount Your Unit - 2

Radar and laser signals pass through glass but not through other materials and objects. Objects that can block or weaken incoming signals include:

■ Windshield wiper blades
■ Mirrored sun screens
■ Dark tinting at the top of the windshield
■ Heated windshields currently available on some vehicles (Instaclear for Ford, Electriclear for GM). Consult your dealer to see if you have this option.

Settings

User Settings

IntelliShield City Mode Default

City Mode Default makes three levels of Audio Alert suppression available when you toggle from Highway to City mode (see page 8). The factory setting is City X.

City X sounds a single beep when an x band signal is first detected. The alert then sounds when signal strength reaches level 3.

City X+K combines the City X mode with prevention of K band audio alerts until the signal strength reaches level 2.

City X Beep Off blocks all X band audio alerts until the signal strength reaches level 3.

IntellMute Mode

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 (except for strobe signals from emergency vehicles). It works with all City and Auto Mute modes.

Before IntelliMute will work, you must set an activation point for your engine's revs (see page 15). 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.

An IntelliMate icon will appear in the display when IntelliMate is on and activation is sat. Whenever engine revs are below the activation point, the arrow points down. When revs are above the activation point the arrow points up.

NOTES

When initially choosing your IntellMute 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.

COBRA XRS 9940 - IntellMute Mode - 8

CAUTION

Do not attempt to set the row point while driving. Your vehicle should be parked and idling to avoid a collision during the process.

Set IntelliMute

After the detector is installed in your vehicle and the unit is turned on, advance through the User Settings Programming to the Set IntelliMute setup screen where the activation point can be set.

Setting the activation point progresses from the setup screen shown on the User Programming Menu Guide (see page 34). From that screen:

  1. Press the Mutel button to begin the setting process.

  2. Press and hold the vehicle accelerator at the desired engine RPMs.

  3. Press the Mute button to complete the setting process.

Auto Mute Mode

When Auto Mute is on, it automatically reduces the audio volume of all alerts after they have sounded for four 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 program 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.

Compass Mode

Your detector includes an internal 8-point Compass that can continuously display your current direction of travel: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW.

BeforetheCompasswillwork, itmustbe

calibrated(see page 17). Calibration allows the Compass electronics to measure and store information about the magnetic fields generated by your vehicle so direction indications will be accurate. The factory setting is Compass off.

COBRA XRS 9940 - BeforetheCompasswillwork, itmustbe - 1

A Compass Icon and directional heading will appear in the display when the Compass is on and calibrated.

The Compass will remain accurately calibrated as long as your detector is mounted in the same place in your vehicle. If you change the location where the unit is mounted or move it to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the Compass. You should also recalibrate the Compass if you suspect it is providing inaccurate directions.

The Compass temporarily may not provide accurate readings if you are inside a building or enclosure, or are close to a large metal tractor/trailer, truck, or train. Once you are away from such a location, the Compass will work correctly again.

Radar Speed Monitoring Systems

Three band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment:

X band 10.525 GHz

K band 24.150 GHz

Ka band 33.400 - 36.00 GHz

Your detector detects signals in all three radar bands, plus Ku band (13.435 GHz), which is an approved frequency used in parts of Europe and Asia.

VG-2 and Spectre 1

VG-2 and Spectre 1 are "detector detectors" that work by detecting low-level signals emitted by most radar detectors. Your detector does not emit signals that can be detected by VG-2 or Spectre 1, but does detect VG-2 and Spectre 1 signals and will alert you when a device is in use near your vehicle, if you so choose.

Safety Alert Traffic Warning System SAFETY ALERT

FCC-approved Safety Alert transmitters emit microwave radar signals that indicate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the frequency of the signal emitted, it can indicate a speeding emergency vehicle or train, or a stationary road hazard.

Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert signals as standard K band radar. Your detector, however, is designed to differentiate between standard K band and Safety Alert signals, and give separate alerts for each.

Safety Alert technology is relatively new. Safety Alert transmitters can be found in limited numbers in all 50 states, but the number is growing. Depending on your location, you may not receive these alerts regularly and may often encounter emergency vehicles, trains and road hazards without being alerted. As the number of transmitters increases, these alerts will become more common.

When you receive such an alert, please watch for emergency vehicles ahead of you, on cross streets and behind you. If you see an emergency vehicle approaching, please pull over to the right side of the road and allow it to pass.

COBRA XRS 9940 - Safety Alert Traffic Warning System SAFETY ALERT - 1

English

Strobe Alert

Special strobes mounted on the light bars of authorized emergency vehicles (fire trucks, police cars, ambulances) automatically change traffic signals as the vehicle approaches an intersection. These strobes and the special strobe detectors located on the traffic signals, introduced fairly recently by 3M and Tomar, are already in use in more than 1000 cities nationwide. Cobra's exclusive Strobe Alert detector will detect these special strobes and give an emergency vehicle alert.

When you receive such an alert, please watch for an approaching emergency vehicle and pull over to allow it to pass. To inquire about coverage in your area, contact your local fire and police departments.

LIDAR (Laser)

The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is actually LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. LIDAR operates much like radar. Its signal spreads out like a radar signal, though not as widely. Unlike radar, LIDAR must have a clear line of sight to its target vehicle throughout the entire measurement interval. Obstructions such as sign posts, utility poles, tree branches, etc., will prevent valid speed measurement.

Some common questions about LIDAR include:

■ Does weather have any affect on LIDAR?

Yes. Rain, snow, smoke, fog, or airborne dust particles will reduce the effective range of LIDAR and can, if dense enough, prevent its operation.

■ Can LIDAR operate through glass?

Yes. Newer LIDAR guns can obtain readings through most types of glass. However, the laser pulse also can be received through glass to trigger an alarm by your detector.

■ Can LIDAR operate while in motion?

No. Because LIDAR operates by line of sight, the person using it cannot drive the vehicle, aim and operate the gun all at the same time.

■ Is LIDAR legal to use?

Yes. It is legal in all 50 states.

Maintenance

Pop Radar Guns

The Pop mode Radar Gun is a single pulse Doppler radar that is a feature of a K and Ka (Bee III Ka radar gun) band Instant-On radar gun. It uses a single short time pulse to measure the target vehicle's speed. Despite the fact that the short, single pulse makes the unit very sensitive to officer hand and vehicle movement and reduces the range of the gun in Pop mode to 50% of its range in Continuous Wave mode, this feature is added in an attempt to make the radar gun invisible to Radar Detectors.

Although your detector can sense Pop signals beyond the effective range of Pop radar guns, there will be a signal to sense only if a gun is triggered. In addition, the Pop mode receiver section is more prone to false alerts because of its extra sensitivity. This is especially so in urban areas. As a result, you should consider using the Pop Detect mode only in highway and rural situations. Cobra Electronics has included a user selectable on or off Pop Detect mode.

Maintenance

Maintenance of Your Radar Detector

Your detector is designed and built to give you years of trouble-free performance without the need for service. No routine Maintenance is required.

If your unit does not appear to be operating properly, please follow these troubleshooting steps:

■ Make sure the power cord is properly connected.
■ Make sure the socket of your vehicle's cigarette lighter
is clean and free of corrosion.
■ Make sure the power cord's cigarette lighter adapter is firmly seated in your cigarette lighter.
- Check the power cord fuse. (Unscrew the ribbed end cap of the cigarette lighter adapter and examine the fuse. If required, replace it with a 2-amp fuse only.)
