SL3 Features

The AURA Database
The AURA database stores GPS coordinates of speed and red light cameras and driving hazards. Users can access this database online and download daily updates 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The SL3 Safety Locator connects via USB, synchronizing the coordinates for the most current and accurate camera and dangerous intersection alerts.

Custom Locations
Drivers can also add up to 1,000 location-based alerts to ensure that they are alerted to temporary or moveable driving threats.

Adjustable Brightness
You can adjust the brightness of the display on the SL3 to your preference, with bright and dim settings to choose from.

Adjustable Volume
The SL3 also features an adjustable volume for controlling the loudness of the audible alert.

How the SL3 Works

Driven by the proprietary AURA database, the SL3 uses a series of LED lights and tones to alert the driver to both the type of threat and its relative proximity. The 3-Zone Notification System escalates the alerts based on the driver's speed ensuring enough time is given before the intersection is reached.
Zones are measured differently depending on your speed, with two steps to accomodate gradual and faster travel.
The Cobra SL3 responds to four types of alerts: Speed Trap, Photo Enforcement (Red Light and Speed Cameras), Caution Areas (high accident locations) and User Points. As you approach a stored location, the unique sound for that type of location will be sounded.

Visual Alert
In addition to audio alerts, the zones are indicated with the 5 LEDs flashing, with more of them flashing the closer you get.

  • ZONE 1: Outer green LEDs flash.
  • ZONE 2: Outer green and middle amber LEDs flash.
  • ZONE 3: The green, amber and center red LEDs all flash.
