Detection Alerts

Your Detector

The following screens are shown only if a Global Positioning System
Locator is connected to the system.

A detector system with a GPS Locator also provides alerts based on vehicle
location and information in its databases. The icon increases in size as
described. In Multi-Color theme, the icon also changes from green,
to yellow, to red.

Photo Enforcement Alerts

An alert to a Photo Enforcement area is indicated by a
camera surrounded by a circle. As you get closer to the
photo enforced location (automated speed and red light
cameras), the circle and the camera get progressively
larger and you hear a unique chime. If the Voice Alert
is activated you will also hear a voice alert.

User Location Alerts

The system can store up to 1,000 User Programmable
Location Alerts set to give hazard warnings not known
to the GPS Locator database. The screen displays a flag
surrounded by a circle. When approaching a stored
location, the circle and flag get progressively larger. In
addition, a unique tone sounds as vehicle approaches
location. A voice alert sounds if Voice Alert is activated.
User Alerts can be saved by pressing and holding the
MENU/SAVE button for 2 seconds.

NOTE:

A particular User Location can be deleted only

when the vehicle returns to that location and receives
a User Location Alert. Press MENU/SAVE to delete
that location.

A confirmation screen displays with “Yes” and
“No” selections. Press “Yes” to confirm User
Location Deleted. Press “No” to cancel delete.
All User Locations can be deleted at once in
Program Alert Settings.

Speed Alerts

Speed alerts are generated when the GPS Locator
senses the vehicle is going faster than the speed setting
programmed in the Alert Setting menu. The display
indicates actual vehicle speed and a tone sounds.
All radar, laser, strobe and safety alerts have priority
and override this alert.
