With Ka-band, you will also be notified of the actual Ka-band radar gun frequency being used. Signal Strength With Laser signals, you will always receive full alert and pulse rate (PPS) of the corresponding laser gun being used. Laser PPS currently in use are: 100, 125, 130, 200, 238 and 340.

II!==~ To choose between different City Filtering Modes vs Highway Mode, touch City/Highway Touch-point Icon next to the display and follow on-screen instructions. lntelliMuteTM lntelliMute allows you to avoid audible alerts you don't need to hear because you are stopped or moving slowly. By sensing the RPMs of your engine, lntelliMute knows when you are at low speed and automatically mutes alerts. You can set your preferred engine RPM activation point and/or turn on/off lntelliMute by following simple steps that appear on your unit screen, under User Settings and then lntelliMute. · lntelliMute Engine RPM Activation Point Not Set. · lntelliMute On/Above Set Engine RPM Activation Point. · lntelliMute On/Below Set Engine RPM Activation Point. Note: lntelliMute may not work with some vehicles, especially hybrids or EVs because the detector cannot sense the engine RPMs. In such case, Quad-levellntelliShield City Filtering or Auto Mute can help reduce unwanted audible alerts. How to Calibrate Your Compass (SLR 600 Only) 1:1 Until you calibrate the internal magnetic compass, will be shown. The compass detects the weak magnetic field of the Earth. It also detects magnetic fields produced by your vehicle, audio speakers, and other electronics. Calibration al- lows the compass electronics to measure and store informa- tion about all magnetic fields in your vehicle so it can ignore them! To calibrate, go to the Menu - Users Settings and scroll right until you see the compass icon . Select this, and follow the instructions on the screen. ou will be asked to drive your vehicle in two 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 circles. You do NOT have to make perfect 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 minutes]. You will only need to calibrate the compass once. However, if you move your SLR-600 to a different location in the vehicle, or to a different vehicle, it is best to calibration again. Note: If your compass is unable to detect the magnetic field of the Earth it cannot give the correct reading. This may happen if you are under a bridge, inside a parking garage or any building constructed with metal framework. Other nearby vehicles with a lot of metal may also cause your compass to give inaccurate readings. Your compass will work again correctly as soon as you get away from these. There is no need to calibrate your compass again after this.
