Your Detector

Important Compass Information For The XRS 9700

Calibrating Your Compass

The compass in your radar detector must be calibrated before you use it to give accurate directions. In order to determine the direction, the compass detects the weak magnetic field of the Earth, but all vehicles also produce many different magnetic fields that will confuse the compass. These magnetic fields are produced by audio speakers and other electronics within your vehicle. Calibration allows the compass electronics to measure and store information about the magnetic fields from your vehicle so that it can then ignore them!

* Drive your vehicle in two (2) complete circles. A large parking lot is the most convenient place to do this. Please be careful when making the circles and watch for other traffic. It does not matter what direction your vehicle is pointing when you start the circles, which direction you go to make the circles, and it does not have to be exactly two (2) circles. You do NOT have to make perfect circles. You can drive in any pattern, as long as you make two (2) complete turns. Four (4) three-point turns, two (2) small squares, or any two (2) complete loops will work as well as two (2) circles. It does not matter what size the circles are, if your speed is constant, or how fast you make the circles [but less than two (2) minutes].
Will I need to calibrate the compass every time I use my radar detector?
No. The compass electronics holds the information about the magnetic fields made by your vehicle. However, for best results, you should mount the detector in exactly the same location every time you use it. When you remove the detector from your windshield, it is best to leave the mounting bracket on your windshield so that when you replace the detector it is mounted, again, in exactly the same place. If you decide to relocate your detector to a different place (either on the windshield or on the dash), it is best to calibrate the compass again.
My compass sometimes seems to give a wrong direction what is wrong?
If your compass is unable to detect the magnetic field of the Earth (used to determine the direction), it cannot give the correct reading. This may happen if you are under a bridge, inside a parking garage, or inside any enclosure or building that is constructed with metal framework. Other vehicles with a lot of metal may also confuse your compass so that it cannot give accurate readings. This may happen if you are next to a large tractor trailer, truck or train. Your compass will work again correctly as soon as you get away from these locations. There is no need to calibrate your compass again after this.

Your detector has a Highway mode and three (3) different levels of City modes: City X, City X Beep Off and City X+K. City X mode sounds a single beep when the signal is first detected. City X Beep Off mode prevents all X band audio alerts until the signal strength reaches Level 3. City X+K mode combines the City X mode with prevention of K band audio alerts until the signal strength reads Level 2. This will reduce false alerts while you are driving in or near urban areas where there are many sources for conflicting X or K band signals such as microwave towers and automatic door openers. The factory setting is Highway. The factory City mode default setting is City X.

Detection

Setting Dim Default You can set the default level for Dim mode (Dim, Dimmer or Dark) either in Program mode or directly using the Select/Dim button.
Detection Signals Detected
The tables on the following pages show you 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 and Ka 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 28.

In Program mode, go to Display Dim, Dimmer or Dark.

Your detector is designed to detect Instant-On speed monitoring signals, which can suddenly appear at full strength. NOTE You should take appropriate action immediately whenever an instant-on alert is given.
Understanding Radar And Laser Radar Speed Monitoring Systems
Three (3) band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment: X band K band Ka band 10.525 GHz 24.150 GHz 33.400 36.00 GHz

Pop Detection

Your detector is designed to detect single pulse mode radars. These radars are designed to have a low probability of detection. You should note that these radar guns have a much shorter range while in this mode.
Your detector detects signals in all three (3) radar bands.

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.

Responding To Alerts

Tone repeats slowly at first, then speeds up rapidly. Tone sounds one (1) time only. Tone instantly begins repeating rapidly. Pop mode tone. Tone repeats slowly as you approach a hill or bridge, then speeds up sharply as you reach it. Tone repeats slowly for a short period. Any type of laser alert. Any Safety Alert or Strobe Alert.

Interpretation

Probably police radar. Probably a false alarm, but possibly pulsed radar, Spectre 1 or VG-2 nearby. Radar, Spectre 1 or VG-2 nearby has been activated suddenly. Pop mode gun very close. Probably police radar beyond the hill or bridge. Probably a false alarm. Laser alerts are never false alarms. You are nearing an emergency vehicle, railroad crossing, or road hazard (construction, accident, etc.).

Recommended Response

FULL ALERT Exercise caution
Safety Alert Traffic Warning System
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.

Maintenance

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. Cobras 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.

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 vehicles 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.

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: s 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.
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:
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.

Make sure the power cord is properly connected. Make sure the socket of your vehicles cigarette lighter is clean and free of corrosion. Make sure the power cords 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.)
