Using the Device
Once installation is complete and you
have set your preferences using the Laser
ShifterPro Tools Software, operation of
Laser ShifterPro is automatic, so you can
enjoy your experience on the road.
If you have connected the power supply
to the switched circuit, once you start the
ignition, the control unit will check that
all components are working properly, and
you will receive a “welcome” sound.
Upon detecting a signal, the unit will alert
you, and the sensors will automatically
start running defense algorithms. Check
and adjust your speed if necessary based
on the posted speed limit.
