Installing the 4ZERO For optimal results mount the 4ZERO onto the vehicles windscreen or alternatively mount it on to the dashboard.

Operating Instructions 1. Using the 4ZERO for the first time After you have updated and installed your 4ZERO it is time to perform the first ‘Cold’ start up. First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a space as possible, clear of tall trees and buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has as clear a view of the sky above. Next turn the unit on by turning the rotary on/off/volume dial on the left handside of the unit away from you in to the On position.
3. Adjusting the Volume The 4ZERO has an adjustable volume for controlling the loudness of the audible alert. To increase the volume turn the volume control on the left hand side of the unit away from you. To decrease the volume turn the volume control on the left hand side toward you. 4. MUTE Button The Mute button has two functions. Press the Mute button during an alert to temporarily mute the audible alert pattern. Press the Mute button when your 4ZERO is not alerting to switch Automute on or off. 5.
How Laser works LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation The laser speed gun uses a method that relies on the reflection time of light. You have probably experienced the reflection time of sound waves in the form of an echo. For example, if you shout down a well or across a canyon, the sound takes a noticeable amount of time to reach the bottom of the well and travel back to your ear.
Features and Settings Access the Menu by pressing the MENU button on top of the unit. Next use the DIM button to move up (+) through the menu and the MUTE button to move down (-) through the menu. When you have found the feature you are looking for press the CITY button to select it. Finally press the MENU button to save any changes and exit the menu. Please Note: If you would like to exit the Menu at any time simply press the MENU button.
8. Speed Limit This safety feature has been designed to let you programme your 4ZERO to alert you when you reach any speed you choose. For example you could set your unit to alert you when your speed reaches 30mph sand you will then receive an alarm if you ever accidentally stray above this speed limit. To turn on and set the Speed limit alert, enter the menu and scroll up or down using the DIM (+) or MUTE (-) buttons until you see ‘Speed Limit’ and press CITY button to select.
5. Have you connected the computer to the internet? The computer needs to be connected to the internet before you can begin to download the database to your 4ZERO. Please make sure that your internet connection is established and that you have signed in to your broadband account (if required). SECTION TWO This section is for supplying possible reasons and solutions to problems you may be experiencing whilst trying to download the database to your 4ZERO.
The satellite signal temporarily or permanently drops out This may happen temporarily in areas where there are a significant number of tall buildings or trees or whilst driving through a tunnel. The signal should only be lost for a few seconds and then quickly reacquired. Check that the device has not moved and that the built in GPS antenna still has a good clear view of the sky above. Very occasionally you may experience bad satellite coverage that may lead you to loosing a signal.
