Thanks! • MyRadarIQ™ - Threat assessment intelligent system for the radar companion series of apps. A new meter, visible at the top of the main alert screen, will show a graphical representation of the probability of a police presence (Ka or Laser) in the direction of your travel. Using your personal alert data, whenever a high probability exists for an encounter ahead, you will know about it well in advance of facing the actual threat. The meter will go from yellow (low threat), to orange (medium threat), to red (high threat) and flash on and off and a voice announcement will occur. The meter will also flash red when a Ka or Laser alert is actively being received to help draw attention to the alert. Probabilities are calculated down to the actual day of the week you are traveling, increasing the accuracy on any given day. • Pair it and forget about it! It just works. *New* - Robust Bluetooth connection engine works seamlessly in the background to manage all your R4 devices. ***TIP: Setting the main volume for the detector to 0 on the main alert screen and enabling the detector alert tones, will eliminate the brief audio "blips" you would normally hear when a mute command is first sent to the detector. Only potential threats will then trigger audio through your speaker or audio system providing an extremely quiet ride.
