Cobra XRS 757 Specification

The Cobra XRS 757 is a sophisticated radar/laser detector designed to enhance driver awareness by providing comprehensive detection of radar and laser signals commonly used in speed enforcement. This device integrates advanced technology to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

The XRS 757 is equipped with Xtreme Range Superheterodyne technology, which significantly extends the detection range, allowing for early alerts and ample reaction time for drivers. It features a 360-degree detection capability, ensuring coverage from all directions, including the front, sides, and rear. This is complemented by its ability to detect all radar frequencies, including X, K, Ka, and Ku bands, as well as VG-2 and Spectre I/IV+ radar detector-detectors, offering an added layer of protection against detection.

The device includes LaserEye technology, which provides 360-degree detection of laser signals. It is engineered to recognize both instant-on and pop mode radar guns, which are increasingly used by law enforcement for their stealth capabilities. The Cobra XRS 757 also features an intuitive digital display that provides clear and concise alerts with signal strength indicators, ensuring drivers are well-informed of detected threats.

Additional functionality includes a Safety Alert feature that detects emergency vehicles, road hazards, and railroad crossings equipped with Safety Alert transmitters. The IntelliMute and IntelliMute Pro features allow the device to automatically mute alerts based on the vehicle's speed, reducing false alerts and enhancing the driving experience. The compact design of the Cobra XRS 757 ensures it can be easily mounted on the windshield or dashboard, making it a convenient option for drivers seeking an effective radar/laser detection solution.

What does the VG-2 alert mean on the Cobra XRS 757?

The VG-2 alert indicates that the Cobra XRS 757 has detected a radar detector detector (RDD). This feature allows the device to remain undetectable to VG-2 RDDs.

Can the Cobra XRS 757 detect laser signals?

Yes, the Cobra XRS 757 is equipped to detect laser signals, providing you with alerts for laser-based speed detection systems.

How do I enable city mode on the Cobra XRS 757?

To enable city mode, press the "City" button on the device. This mode reduces the sensitivity to help minimize false alerts in urban environments.

What should I do if the display on my Cobra XRS 757 is not working?
