When the GPS Locator is first used (or after a prolonged period of nonuse), the

GPS Locator needs more time to detect the Global Position System satellites.

1. After installation of the GPS Locator, turn the detector unit On with the

vehicle in an area clear of obstructions to the sky.

2. Keep the detector turned On for at least 15 minutes to allow fast satellite

acquisition in subsequent power-ups. The vehicle can be moving as long

as it is in an area where the GPS Locator can “see the sky.”

GPS Locator Status

The GPS icon changes to indicate

received signal status.

GPS Screens

When GPS signal is lost at the Compass, Speed, Compass/Speed

and Lat/Lon screens, the

Satellite icon will change and the data lines

will be filled with dashes.

User Locations

The GPS Locator database is populated with all the Photo Enforcement, Caution

Area, and Speed Trap locations known at the time of its last update. You can add to

these locations as you observe any that are not in your unit’s database.
You can add User Locations to augment those in the GPS Locator database.

While adding locations, you can customize them as:

Photo

Caution Area

Enforcement

Speed Trap

User Location

Whenever your vehicle approaches a User Location, an alarm will sound and the

icon associated with the type of location you selected will appear. It will become

progressively larger as you approach the location.
