Power
To turn the power on or off simply press
the power button on the SC55’s top
case.
AutoPower
This feature automatically turns the SC55
off if your vehicle has not moved for 3
hours. This is especially useful if your
vehicle has a hot 12 volt accessory
(constant power without the key on) See
the Preferences section for details.
Power-On Indication
After the SC55’s start-up sequence is
completed, the display will provide a
speed and compass screen. Once your
vehicle is moving, your vehicle speed and
heading will be provided.
If you prefer, you can select alternate
power-on indicators. See Preferences.
NOTE: You must be moving and
have an acquired GPS signal for this
information to be presented.
GPS Indicator
The GPS icon is visible on the right side of
the SC55 display, and indicates whether it
is receiving GPS signals. At start-up, this
icon will flash on and off until GPS data is
received. Once it receives the signals, this
icon will stop flashing and remain on the
display
OverSpeed
The OverSpeed feature allows you to select
a speed (30-95 mph) as a reminder of how
fast you are going. Once this speed is
reached, an audible alert and warning
message will appear.
Volume Control/Mute
(V/M Button)
To increase or decrease the audio volume,
simply press and hold the (V/M) button on
the SC55. A sample alert tone will be
generated, along with a corresponding bar-
graph on the display. Once you have
reached your desired volume level, simply
release the button. This level will be
stored in memory.
Mute
To mute the audio for a specific signal,
briefly press the V/M button on the SC55
or use the Mute button located on the
SmartCord (included). After the encounter
has passed, the mute will automatically
reset and the audio will alert you to the
next encounter at the volume level you set.
