6. Mute Button
If during an alert you decide that you would like to mute the audible alert,
but still retain a visual alert simply press the MUTE/CANCEL button briefly
(Button 1). The screen will continue to display a visual alert but no sound
will be heard. After you have travelled out of range of the location the unit
will automatically reset so the next time you encounter a location you will
receive both an audible and a visual alert as normal.
7. Alert patterns
Gatso & Truvelo Safety Cameras
As you approach the safety camera the unit will beep twice then begin to
emit either a voice alert or your chosen audible alert (either a Soft or Hard
‘beep’) at your preset alert distance. As you move closer to the camera the
‘beeping’ will quicken. At the same time the display will indicate the type of
location you are approaching, then the speed limit at that location and then
begin to count down the distance in 50 metre increments to the location.
Once you are less than fifty metres away from the camera the unit will
alternate the display showing ‘Warning’ and the speed limit for that camera
location. This type of alert pattern is the same for Truvelo safety cameras
except that the display would indicate ‘Truvelo’ and not ‘Gatso’.
Automute: When your device alerts you to a location, rather than
continually beeping through the alert, it simply beeps at your selected
volume for five seconds and then automatically mutes the sound to
volume level 3 until you are out of range of the source. This allows you to
receive a brief audible alert instead of a continuous one.
Please Note: If your vehicle is travelling below 20mph the unit will not give
you an audible warning but will continue to give you a visual warning. This
‘Smart Mute’ facility is explained in further detail later in the manual.
If you would like to change the alert to a visual alert only press the
MUTE/CANCEL button to temporarily turn off the sound. If at any time you
would like to stop the alert, simply press and hold the MUTE/CANCEL button.
SPECs Safety Camera Systems
Due to the fact that the SPECs camera incorporates a series of cameras
that monitor a vehicle over a fixed distance, a different alert pattern has
been devised to ensure that your concentration is maintained throughout
the danger zone. If you are approaching the first camera in the SPECs
system your Snooper Evolution will begin to alert you at your chosen
preset alert distance with the display indicating 'SPECs Str' and emitting
either a voice or your chosen audible alert. The display will then change
to indicate the speed limit at this point and then count down the remaining
distance in 50 metre increments to the location of the camera. The unit
will then emit an audible alert and flash 'SPECs' every five seconds to
remind you that you are still within the SPECs system. If after twenty
seconds you do not pass another camera, for instance if you have turned
off the motorway without passing the last camera in the SPECs series the
alert will automatically 'Time Out' and the alert will finish.
