Cobra XRS 9700 Specification

The Cobra XRS 9700 is a sophisticated radar and laser detector designed for enhancing driver awareness and safety through advanced detection capabilities. This device features the Xtreme Range Superheterodyne technology, which significantly extends its detection range, offering heightened sensitivity to radar and laser signals. It supports detection of all current radar and laser bands, including X, K, Ka, and Ku bands, as well as the POP mode radar gun, ensuring comprehensive coverage against various speed monitoring methods. The Cobra XRS 9700 is equipped with the IntelliMute feature, a smart mute function that prevents false alerts by sensing the vehicle's engine RPMs, allowing alerts only when necessary. Additionally, the IntelliShield false signal rejection technology further reduces false alerts by filtering out signals from non-threatening sources, such as automatic door openers and other radar-based systems. The device includes a digital signal strength meter, which provides real-time feedback on signal proximity and strength, aiding drivers in assessing the immediacy of threats. The built-in Safety Alert and Strobe Alert systems notify drivers of emergency vehicles and road hazards, enhancing situational awareness. The unit also supports voice alerts, offering audio notifications to keep drivers informed without distracting visual checks. The Cobra XRS 9700's compact design and easy-to-read ultra-bright display ensure convenient installation and operation, while its memory retention feature remembers settings even when powered off. Its lightweight build and intuitive interface make it an ideal choice for drivers seeking reliable and comprehensive detection capabilities. This device is powered through a standard vehicle power adapter, making it accessible and easy to integrate into any vehicle setup.
