GPS Locator Status
The GPS icon changes to indicate received signal status:
NOTE
When GPS signal is lost at the Speed and Lat/Lon screens, the satellite icon

Initial Satellite Lock
•
When the
Optional
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.”
Optional
GPS Locator Activated Alerts
•
In addition to the alerts provided by the detector, the GPS Locator provides
alerts based on vehicle location and information in the GPS Locator databases.
Photo Enforcement Alerts
Whenever your vehicle approaches a photo enforced location (automated
speed and red light cameras) contained in the built-in GPS Locator database,
an alarm will be provided with a unique chime and the camera icon will
become progressively larger as you approach the location.
Caution Area Alerts
If you have turned Caution Area Alert On, whenever your vehicle approaches
a caution area (such as speed traps and high-accident intersections) contained
in the built-in GPS Locator database, an alarm will be provided with a unique
chime and the Caution icon will become progressively larger as you approach the
location. The factory setting is Caution Area Alert Off.
