Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra ®
Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Cobra SL3 GPS Safety Locator.
This user manual aims to provide you with installation and user instructions for the SL3
GPS Safety Locator.
Utilizing the very latest Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology, Cobra has created the SL3,
which has been specifically designed to help you drive safely in today’s driving environment by
alerting you quickly and easily to the presence of red light cameras, speed cameras, accident
“hot spots” and known speed traps.
AURA™ Camera and Driving Hazard Database
The AURA database contains the geographical coordinates of all “fixed” speed/red light camera
monitoring systems, many officially designated accident “hot spots” and known speed trap
locations. The AURA database is constantly monitored and updated by our data collection team,
ensuring that you are alerted to every potentially hazardous stretch of road or danger spot. The
SL3 connects quickly and easily to your PC so that you can download and update the database
in a matter of minutes. Please note that a certain level of System Software is required on your
PC, see the section on System Software in this manual for further details. Once the database
has been downloaded, your SL3 compares your position using it’s built-in GPS antenna, with
the position of every known “fixed” speed monitoring/red light camera system, accident “hot
spot” and known speed trap locations alerting you both audibly and visually via a loud piezo
beeper and a LED display ensuring your highest concentration at all times.
Drive Safely with AURA
The Cobra SL3 has been designed and manufactured to help enhance road safety and should
not be used as a license to speed or a substitute for concentration. Driving within the posted
speed limit while carefully observing current road conditions and local regulations is essential.
