Start Up – Installing the SD Card

Before using your Syrius Plus, you will need to install the SD Card included 

with the device. The SD Card comes complete with a digital map of the UK 

and Ireland or Western Europe depending on the model purchased and is also 

where the Enigma™ camera database is stored if you choose to subscribe and 

download it.
Start by moving the ‘Batt. ON/OFF’ switch located on the underside of the unit 

to the ‘ON’ position, then remove the SD card from its packaging and insert it 

into the SD Card slot as indicated. Finally switch on the device by pressing and 

holding the standby power button located on the left hand side of the unit for 2 

seconds. As soon as the device is switched on, the Syrius Plus will automatically 

synchronise with the SD Card. Once the synchronisation is completed, the SD 

Card will not function with any other device. Your Syrius Plus is now ready to 

navigate and the camera database can be downloaded if necessary.

Please note that if the unit does not activate when you press and hold the standby power button for 2 seconds it 

may require charging. Refer to the section ‘Charging the internal battery’ later in this manual.

System Requirements and Downloading

Before you can begin to download the database onto your Syrius Plus, you will need to install the Syrius Updater software 

provided on the CD ROM. 
In order for the software to be installed successfully, there are certain minimum hardware and software requirements 

needed. 

Hardware Requirements

The computer must have an Intel Pentium Class processor or equivalent, a minimum of 32MB of RAM, a monitor with 256 

(8-bit) colours or greater, a CD ROM drive, 20MB of free disc space and a spare USB connection.

Software Requirements

The software will only operate on the following Windows based operating systems: 

Windows 2000 
Windows XP 
Windows Vista 

and, in addition, will only work with Internet Explorer 6 or Netscape Navigator 6 or above.

NOTE: The Syrius Plus Updater software does not support Windows 95, 98, Millennium or Apple Macintosh 

operating systems.
Software Installation Instructions

Place the Software CD into a CD ROM or DVD drive. Your PC should automatically open a window displaying the 

instructions for installing the software. Follow the instructions onscreen to install the download software. 
To launch the CD manually: Click on 

‘Start’

 and then 

‘Run’

. In the dialogue box that opens click on 

‘Browse’

 – another 

dialogue box will open. Locate your CD ROM or DVD drive (drive letter is normally D) using the 

‘Look in’ 

option and select 

‘Menu’

 from the lower portion of the dialogue box. Once you have selected 

‘Menu’

 click on 

‘Open’

 on the explorer box and 

then 

‘OK’

 on the Run dialogue box.

Please make sure that the operating system installs the new hardware (Win 2K, XP and Vista) before installing the Syrius 

Plus Updater software. Once the ‘Syrius Plus Updater’ software has been installed click 

‘Finish’

 and then close the CD auto 

run window. After installing the software, please re-boot your PC.
Any later download software updates can be obtained from 

www.snooperneo.co.uk.

 If you have any problems using this 

software please call 0870 787 0700 during office hours and select Option 3.

Once the software is installed, you are ready to download the database onto your Syrius Plus. The Syrius Plus 

download software runs automatically in the background*. This is indicated by the symbol 

, which can be 

located in the system tray in the bottom right hand corner of your desktop near the system clock.

*When the Syrius Plus Updater is run for the first time you will be asked to select your language and then to select the camera 

data that you wish to download. Select the data you would like and then click ‘OK’. The software is now ready for use.
