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.

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.
