SmartPower Mode
Your detector includes the SmartPower feature that, when turned on,
will put the unit into Standby mode (low power) 15 minutes after the
car’s engine has been turned off.
Before SmartPower enters Standby mode, you will hear three beeps and
SmartPower will flash on the display. To return the unit to normal Power
mode and exit Standby mode, start the car, press any button or turn the
unit off and then on again. The factory setting is SmartPower on.

before switching the unit to Dark. The factory default is 30 seconds.
You can set the time interval to 15 seconds, 30 seconds, one minute, three
minutes, or Always On (see User Settings Programming described on page 12).

Car Battery Voltage Display Mode
Your detector can sense your vehicle’s electrical system voltage
(Car Battery Voltage) and show it on the display during normal
operation of the unit. The factory setting is Car Battery Voltage 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 page 18).
The factory setting is Car Battery Low off.
Restore Factory Settings
From the Restore Factory Settings screen, you can quickly and
conveniently restore your detector to its original settings. Confirmation
messages are provided during the process.
