OPERATION

Vehicle Battery Saver Mode

The Vehicle Battery Saver Mode when selected automatically 

shuts off the detector after 3 hours. The timer is reset if the 

detector is turned off, unplugged or any button is pressed 

before the timer has expired. The detector will alert you with 

an audible and visual warning before it shuts off. During this 

warning, you can momentarily reset the timer by pressing any 

button. If the unit has automatically turned off, press the Power 

button to turn the unit back on. Refer to “Option Select Mode” 

for changing the battery saver mode options.

Red Light/Speed Camera Detection

This unit is capable of alerting to these locations with the 

updatable database.

Getting a Satellite Lock 

Powering up, the unit will begin its search for satellites. During 

this time, the unit will flash the satellite icon on the display. 

Please allow several minutes for the unit to lock onto the 

satellites. This delay is normal when the unit is turned on at least 

500 miles from when the unit last received a satellite lock or if 

several days have passed since its last usage.

NOTE:

 Driving while initially searching for satellites will take 

longer than if you are stationary. Acquiring satellites takes much 

longer the first time.

Camera Alerts 

When approaching a known camera, the unit will provide the 

type of alert (Red Light Camera, Traffic Camera, Speed Camera, 

or User Location). Example: the display will show

 TRF CAM

then 

count down the distance to the camera. Once past the camera 

location, the unit will provide a beep-beep audio tone and the 

word PASS will be shown on the display.

Manual Entry

(Waypoint)

The unit will save a special location (i.e., a new red light camera 

or even a “trap”) if you enter it manually. The unit will store 1000 

user locations. 

NOTE: 

Manual entries must be approximately 

330 feet apart to prevent overlapping locations. To manually 

enter a location, press and release the FUNCTION button 

(see Option Select Mode) and the unit will beep to confirm. 

Manual entries can be deleted within a certain radius (selected 

in Option Select Mode). Once a radius is selected the data can 

be deleted within the selected Radius or they all can be deleted 

completely from memory.
