Stinger Card, User Manual

Page: 14 / 20

FalseList*
If you receive a false alarm (such as from automatic doors at petrol stations), simply
press the FALSE button and this specifi c signal at this specifi c location will be stored in
the FalseList database. If you drive past the location again, you will no longer hear an
audio alarm; you will still see a visual warning on your Card however, indicating that
the alarm has been suppressed by FalseList. Your Card will still sound an audio alarm in
case of a real speed trap at the same location, since the ‘fi ngerprint’ for that signal will
usually differ from the one in the FalseList database.
SpeedSense (SpS)
Of course you could receive an audio alert when you are not likely to exceed any
speed limits. You could for instance be stuck in traffi c, be looking for your way
around a business park or simply be searching for a parking spot at a shopping center.
SpeedSense is Stinger’s way of effectively eliminating any chance of these unnecessary
alerts by only allowing alerts to sound when you are travelling at speeds that exceed
50 km/h or 31 mph. You will still be visually alerted by means of a fl ashing alert LED in
conjunction with a fl ashing SpS (SpeedSense) LED. This way it will stay pleasantly quiet
in your car when it counts most.
CITY*
Touching the FALSE and MUTE keys simultaneously will activate (or deactivate) the
CITY mode. With CITY mode active the red LED below the letter C will be lit and an
audio alert for radar signals will only sound when the signal strenght level is greater
than 1. This can be useful in urban areas where driving speeds are relatively low and
the amount of false alerts relatively high.
Suppressing False Alerts
*Not available on BASIC E.U. VERSION of Card.
