SmartPower 

Your detector includes the 

SmartPower

feature that, when activated, will put the unit

into Standby mode (low power) for about 30 minutes after the car’s engine has been

turned Off. After 30 minutes in Standby mode, the unit will automatically turn Off.

Before SmartPower enters Standby mode, you will hear one

beep and 

Pwr Save

will appear on the display. To return the

unit to normal Power mode or exit Standby mode, start the

car, press any button or turn the unit Off and then On again.

The factory setting is SmartPower On.

Spectre I & IV+ Alerts

Police use radar detector detectors (RDDs) to spot users of radar detectors. 

Your detector is able to identify signals from 

Spectre I

and 

Spectre IV+

RDDs and

can provide alerts when any of these or similar devices are in use near your vehicle.
Your detector 

can

be spotted by Spectre IV+ RDDs, but is invisible to 

Spectre I RDDs. You can choose whether or not you want your unit to show 

Spectre

Alerts

. With Spectre Detect mode On, you can also choose whether or not you want

your unit to sound audible Spectre Alerts. The factory settings are Spectre Detect Off,

Spectre Audio Off.
