Starting up
A short time after you switch on your detectors, you will see
a small red wireless symbol appear on the Cheetah GPS
detector. This shows that the RADARnode is transmitting and
the wireless datalink is active. SR7 alerts will be
provided instantly.
During a radar detector alert
A voice alert will announce the radar band being picked up.
There are different warning tones for each radar / laser band,
which ramp up in 5 stages, from 1 tone to 5 tones per second,
as the signal strength increases:
SR7 display strength 1 is transmitted as signal strength 1
SR7 display strength 2 is transmitted as signal strength 2
SR7 display strength 3 is transmitted as signal strength 3
SR7 display strength 4 is transmitted as signal strength 4
SR7 display strength 5-7 is transmitted as signal strength 5
(Based on the SR7’s standard signal strength meter.)
The actual alert given by your Cheetah may vary from the
SR7 display as the RADARnode responds to the SR7’s
AUDIO signal and NOT the display.
The Cheetah detector will continue alerting for as long as the
SR7 does. A confirmation "chirp" signals the end of an alert.
Press button 3 to mute the remainder of an alert.
Press and hold button 4 to switch between Voice + Tone
alerts (city mute OFF) and Voice Only alerts (city mute ON).

Setting the volume level can be critical. It may require some
minor adjustments in the level to allow the RADARnode to
function correctly with your individual SR7.
