1. Using the Evolution for the first time

After you have performed a download and installed your Evolution 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 rotating

the ON/OFF Volume dial towards you. The LED text display will briefly read

‘Snooper’, Logic # (see page 23), Mway, City or All (page 15) and finally

’Searching for Satellites...’ will scroll across the screen as the unit begins to

search for satellite connection. The Evolution needs to acquire a minimum of four

satellites in order to work. Once this has been achieved the Evolution will

proceed to the Standby screen of your choice (See Standby Screen below). As

soon as the standby screen is displayed on your Evolution it is ready to use and

will now automatically alert you of any locations stored in its database. A variety

of audible and visual alert patterns are explained later on in this section. See

‘Features and Settings’ to personalise your unit.

As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first

‘Cold’ start could take anywhere from 15 – 50 minutes to establish a

satellite connection. Once initialised, subsequent start ups will take less

time and eventually should take only a matter of minutes.

Please Note: If the unit is not used for some time the initial GPS start up

may take longer than when the unit is used regularly.

2. Standby Screen

There are three selectable standby screens to choose from:

a) Atomic Clock and Compass (Factory Default)

b) GPS Signal Strength and Compass

c) Vehicle Speed

To select your preference press and hold the MODE/MENU button (for

approximately two seconds) until the unit displays ‘Tone’, then using either the

MODE/MENU or MUTE/CANCEL buttons scroll through the Menu options until

the screen reads ‘Scr Mode’ and press the SELECT button. Then use the

MODE/MENU or the MUTE/CANCEL button to scroll up or down through the

options. When you reach your desired setting, press the SELECT button again.
