English INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of one of the world’s most advanced GPS warning systems! The DRIVE CONTROL PRO is delivered as a GPS warning system for speed checks. On top of this, you can upgrade the device to a radar/laser detector for use in those countries where radar and laser detection is allowed. The possession and use of a radar / laser detector is forbidden in some countries.

English 3.1.2. MOUNTING THE RADAR DEVICE (B) + LASER DEVICE (C) General guidelines: • Search for a location in your car (The best position for the antenna is behind the front grill, just beneath or above the number plate or in one of the spoiler air intakes). Make sure that the radar and laser device have a free ‘view’ of the road. • The radar device may be positioned within 25° of horizontal without significantly reducing performance.
English Step 2: Mounting the 2 brackets to the radar device See illustration IV Illustration IV Use the supplied screws to fix the 2 brackets to the radar device as shown in illustration IV. Step 3: Mounting the radar device with the brackets to the car Use the supplied screws to mount the radar device to the car as shown in illustration V. The Hook and Loop Velcro tape can be used for extra support.
English The mounting brackets are designed to help you rotating the device into the right position as shown in illustration VI. Illustration VI Attention: Make sure no wires are damaged during this operation! Step 4: Mounting the laser device to the car The laser device needs to be installed in the area of the license plate as shown on illustration VII. Mount the device on location 1, 2, 3 or 4 with the 3M tape (see bottom-side of the unit).
English Step 5: Cable connection See illustration VIII Illustration VIII Cable 1 to GPS device Cable 2 to laser device Cable 1 needs to be guided and plugged into the ‘EXT’ port of the GPS device inside the car. Cable 2 needs to be guided and plugged into the laser device. Attention: When you are installing the cables, make sure that they are kept away from hot surfaces and moving parts!

English 5.2 DANGEROUS LOCATION, TRACK CONTROL & TRACK CONTROL END This alert indicates a dangerous location, a track control or a track control end at a distance of 450 meter on the current road. Please check your speed and slow down. At a distance of 600 meter of the location you will hear ‘DANGEROUS LOCATION’, ‘TRACK CONTROL’ or ‘TRACK CONTROL END’ and at a distance of 300 meter the DRIVE CONTROL PRO will say ‘BE CAREFUL’. 5.
English 6.2 LOOKING FOR SATELLITES Once the automatic test has been performed, the DRIVE CONTROL PRO will try to contact the GPS satellites. The display will show ‘srch’ (Search). If the radar / laser Detector is switched on, it will start working immediately. The GPS function (warning for fixed cameras) will only be working after the connection to the satellites is established.
English 7.1 HOW THE RADAR WORKS The actual process involved in determining a vehicle’s speed is basically a simple one. It involves directing a beam of microwave energy at an approaching target vehicle. A portion of this beam is reflected by the target and is received by the radar unit that originally transmitted the signal. The reflected signal is shifted in frequency by an amount proportional to the speed of the target vehicle. This phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.
English detector is forbidden in many countries. False alarms occur on a regular basis with each and every radar detector. The DRIVE CONTROL PRO is the perfect solution. This advanced GPS device signals overspeed, camera locations and offers additionally an electronic compass and an ODO-meter. You can activate the radar / laser detection update in countries where this is allowed. The radar / laser detector can be set to switch off at speeds that are lower than 30 or 50 km/h to avoid false alarms.
