Read and understand the information in the
Installation Overview
and
Installation
sections of this manual for best operation.
The XRS R8 consists of a Main Detector Unit (MDU) and a wireless Remote
Display Unit (RDU). The XRS R10G adds a Global Positioning System Locator
module, providing fixed red light/speed camera and caution area location-based
alerts. The XRS R8 can be upgraded with the optional Cobra GPS Locator to
provide fixed red light/speed camera and caution area location-based alerts.
Main Detector Unit (MDU)
The MDU is equipped with an adjustable, two-position bracket for detection
operation in the down (horizontal) position or in the up position for a less
visible profile from the outside. The MDU issues audible messages during
power-on and self-testing. The MDU is equipped with a power button to turn
the unit On and Off.
The MDU contains detection function sensors so proper mounting and
orientation are important.
Remote Display Unit (RDU)
The RDU is a wireless remote controller/display module that shows alerts
detected by the MDU. The RDU display uses an Extreme Bright DataGrafix
™
(Organic Light Emitting Diode) Display to show large graphical alerts as
signals are detected.
The RDU uses a rechargeable lithium-ion (LiON) battery and is supplied with
a holster and clips for mounting on heating/air conditioner vents or sun visor.
A 12V to 5V USB Power Adaptor with cigarette lighter plug and a USB to
Mini-USB Retractable Cable are supplied. The RDU can be charged in the
vehicle using these two components or by plugging the USB to Mini-USB
Retractable Cable to the USB port of your personal computer.
The normal Auto Dark screen is almost completely dark with only a moving
dot. The Auto Dark screen provides discreet usage and helps conserve RDU
battery life. The display color can be changed to match most dash
illumination.
Global Positioning System Locator –
(XRS R10G Only)
The GPS Locator module tracks vehicle location. It uses a database that
provides alerts as you approach photo-enforced intersections, roads with
fixed red light/speed cameras and caution areas.
Use the GPS Locator functions to program alerts and store up to 1,000 user
programmable Location Alerts. Software will be available to update the
database and stay current with future photo enforced locations and caution
areas. The GPS Locator module has no external controls and plugs into the MDU.
GPS Database Information
When a GPS Locator unit is installed, you can view the version and date
on which the installed database of Photo Enforcement and Caution Area
Locations was updated. To update the database, go to Cobra's website
