IntroductionA1IntroductionCongratulations! You have just purchased themost sophisticated RADAR/LASER DETECTORavailable today. This booklet contains instructionsand information designed so that you will be ableto understand how the Cobra® ESD-9220 WXworks and how radar and (LIDAR) laser are used.Enjoy your Cobra® ESD-9220 WX Radar/LaserDetector and drive safely.Federal Law Governing Use of Radar DetectorsIt is not against Federal Law to receive radar transmissions on your COBRA® Radar Detector.The Communications Act of 1934 guarantees your right to receive radio transmissions on any frequency. Local laws that contravene theCommunications Act of 1934, while illegal, may be enforced by your local law enforcementofficials until and unless they are prohibited fromdoing so by Federal Court action.WARNING: Before leaving your car, make surethat you conceal your radar detector. This willreduce the possibility of break-in and theft ofyour unit.Included with your ESD-9220 WX1. Windshield Bracket2. Hook and Loop Material3.

Installation3Installation2NoteAdjust the bracket so thatthe tip of the antenna is atleast an inch away from thedashboard.DimCity WxWxMuteBANDAttach cups to bracket.Attach detector to bracket.Plug power cord into detector.Attach bracket to windshield.Bend bracket for correctdetection angle (if needed).Plug power cord into cigarette lighter.Place antenna in upright position for optimum receptionof weather stations.Place antenna facing towardsdashboard if windshieldangle prevents you fromplacing it upright.5678LocationSelecting the proper location to mount theCobra® ESD-9220 WX is very important foroptimum performance. Both radar and lasertransmissions pass through glass but not throughother objects. For this reason the Cobra® ESD-9220 WX lenses must not be blocked. Itshould have a view of the rear window to takeadvantage of LaserEye® 360˚ detection. It is bestto locate your detector as low on the frontwindshield as possible.Examples of metal in the windshield area that canblock or weaken incoming radar/laser signals:1. Windshield wiper blades.2. Mirrored sun screens.3. Regular tinted glass does not affect radarreception, although the darker tint at thetop of the tinted windshield prevents laserlight from penetrating.4. Heated windshields, currently available as an option for some Ford® (Instaclear) andGM® (Electriclear vehicles act as animpenetrable barrier to radar signals). If indoubt, check with your dealer to see if thisapplies to your vehicle.Windshield MountingLocation WindshieldMounting2134

Exercise Caution.Very fast signal rate instantly.Slow signal rate as you approach hill or bridge. Sharp increase in signalrate as you reach hill or bridge.Most likely police radar on other sideof hill or bridge. FULL ALERT.Radar or VG-2 close by has been suddenly switched on. FULL ALERT.Short-term, weak signaling;series of such signals.Laser will trigger 3 distinct audiblesignals; one each for LTI 20-20, UltraLyte and ProLaser.Use Full Caution.There are no falselaser signals.Safety Alert® and Strobe Alert™ havetheir own unique “EuropeanEmergency” signal.An emergency vehicle is approaching,you are in the vicinity of a railroadcrossing, or you are approaching aroad hazard (construction site,accident scene, etc.).Most likely a false radar source.Exercise Caution.Facts About the Safety Alert® Traffic Warning SystemFCC-approved Safety Alert® Transmitters emitmicrowave radar signals to indicate the presence of asafety-related concern. Depending on the frequency ofthese signals, as set on the transmitter, the outgoingsignal can indicate whether the transmitter is on aspeeding emergency vehicle or train, or at a stationaryroad hazard location.These microwave signals arelocated in the K-band and as a result, any radardetector which detects K-band radar will detect theseSafety signals as standard K-band radar alerts. However,unlike a standard radar detector, your Cobra® ESD-9220 WX is designed to differentiate between astandard K-band alert and a Safety Alert® warning.Safety technology is relatively new so the number oftransmitters in operation is still growing. You may notreceive Safety Alert® on a daily basis and should not besurprised to encounter some emergency vehicles, roadhazards or trains not yet equipped with these transmitters, therefore failing to provide a signal. AsSafety Transmitters become more prevalent (thenumber of operating transmitters is growing everyday), these Safety Alerts® will become more common.The Safety Alert® Transmitter is in use in all 50 states inlimited quantities.Facts About Strobe Alert™Alerts motorists to over 50,000 emergency vehiclesequipped with strobe transmitters that activate redlights at traffic intersections in emergency high speedsituations.NoteStrobe Alert™ is availablein over 1,000 cities andworks with Tomar andOpticom systems. Call yourlocal Fire/Policedepartment for your areacoverage or area in whichyou will be traveling.Facts AboutSafety Alert®Traffic WarningSystem
Detection 23Detection22Radar FrequenciesThere are now three frequencies that have beenapproved by the FCC (Federal CommunicationsCommission) for use in speed monitoring equipment.They are:X Band (10.525 GHz), K Band (24.150 GHz)Ka Band (33.400-36.000 GHz)Your Cobra® ESD-9220 WX can detect signals inall three radar bands including photo radar andSTALKER radar which use the Ka band, andCobra®’s Safety Alert® signals on the K band.Facts About LIDAR (Laser)What is LIDAR?LIDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging.While everyone refers to it as LASER the correctname is LIDAR.How does LIDAR work?LIDAR operates a lot like RADAR. Like RADAR, itspreads out. Not as quickly, but it does spread, asshown on the diagram below.RadarFrequenciesFacts AboutLIDAR (Laser)5 FT. WIDE1/4 MILE 1/2 MILE 1MILE 1 MILE 1/210 FT. WIDE 20 FT.

Replace with 1-ampere fuse only.TroubleshootingIf your COBRA® LASER DETECTOR ESD-9220 WXisn’t operating, we suggest you make the following checks:1. Is the power cord properly connected?2. Is the fuse OK?3. Is the cigarette lighter socket clean and freefrom corrosion?
