INTRODUCTION

Congratulations !
You are now the proud owner of one of the world’s most advanced GPS products.
Read this manual carefully before the installation. All instructions are to be followed to ensure a
maximum functioning and a trouble-free use of your RADAR ALERT.

Using the RADAR ALERT offers you more safety while driving as it signals occasional inattentions. The
RADAR ALERT does not give you the right to exceed the speed limits. Always make sure you drive
carefully!

This manual provides you with some details on how to install the RADAR ALERT in the car, the use and
functioning in the car, and the possibilities to exchange the newest data on locations with your
service provider through your computer.

SPEED TRAPS

Speed controls can be effected in many different ways. Frequently used speed-trap methods are
radar-speed cameras, laser guns, mobile radar speed cameras and track controls.
A radar detector is able to detect some of these traps, but not all of them. The new generation of radar
speed traps is increasingly hard to detect by means of a radar detector. Furthermore, the radar
detector is forbidden in many countries. False alarms occur on a regular basis with each and every
radar detector.

The RADAR ALERT is the perfect solution. This advanced GPS device signals speed violations, locations,
and in addition offers a complete board computer.

GPS-systems, however, can not detect mobile controls. That’s why the RADAR ALERT has TMC.
Via radio-information of your radio station mobile controls are automatically entered in the RADAR
ALERT, and about 5 Km in advance you will get a warning.

ATTENTION:
The RADAR ALERT is not a navigation system indicating you the route from A to B
through audio text.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RADAR ALERT

3.1

GENERAL

The RADAR  ALERT is a device that gives you information about your trip and warns you for unsafe
situations. QUINTEZZ supplies a database for several countries with information about speed came-
ra’s and/or dangerous locations. In addition you can save your own locations. A warning will be given
at a distance of 600 meters of every location. This is about 5 Km for mobile controls. These warnings
are not directional. For the information that is supplied by QUINTEZZ, you have some additional
functions. The speed warning is depending from your speed and direction of driving. This means that
you won’t get a warning if the camera is at the other side of the road. This also means that you will
get a small warning in case of correct speed, but a big warning in case of overspeed.
Besides this function, you also have the board computer. It contains the following features:
-

Compass (with arrow and text)

-

Trip distance

-

Trip time

-

Odometer

-

Date (from satellite)

-

Time (from satellite, timezone is selectable)

-

Speed warning on user set speed level

-

Battery voltage meter

-

Clock bell on every hour
