2. Press and hold the vehicle accelerator at the desired engine RPMs.
3. Press the Mute
 button to complete the setting process.
The system will store the engine RPM setting and provide a completion
message on the display as well as a tone or voice message.
NOTE
If the unit is unable to sense usable pulses within three seconds or if you
do not set a rev point within 30 seconds of beginning the setup, IntelliMute or
IntelliMute Pro will indicate an error. If you do not try again within five seconds,
it will automatically turn Off. The unit will provide corresponding messages for
these conditions.
Once an activation point has been set, you can easily change it by going
to IntelliMute / IntelliMute Pro in User Settings Menu and repeating the
three-step setup process.
If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine’s revs, IntelliMute or
IntelliMute Pro will indicate an error and automatically turn Off.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to set the rev point while driving. Your vehicle should be
parked and idling to avoid a collision during the process.
NOTE
The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle.
NOTE
When initially choosing your IntelliMute or IntelliMute Pro Activation Point,
a setting of approximately 300 to 600 RPMs above idle is recommended.

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 27.
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 the numbers from
one to five, indicating the strength of the signal detected.
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.
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 (see above).The factory setting is
Car Battery Low Voltage Warning is On.
