Operation Manual

Other Problems

The unit cannot be switched on

Check that the cigarette lighter adaptor is well inserted into the cigarette

lighter socket and that the cigarette lighter socket is functioning properly.

Check that the lighter socket is clean and free from debris. Also check

that the fuse of the cigarette lighter adaptor is intact.

If you are using the hardwire connection check that you have secured a

good earth and that you have taken the 12v feed from a 12v supply that

is live on ignition. Also check that the in-line fuse is intact.

The unit cannot acquire satellite connection

Check that the Evolution's built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the

sky above.

If this is the first time you have powered up your Snooper Evolution

please remember that the first 'cold' start may take up to 50 minutes to

acquire sufficient satellite connection. The unit requires time to calibrate

and you will find that with subsequent use that the time for acquiring

satellites will reduce. Eventually the unit should take approximately 90

seconds to acquire satellite connection.

Disconnect and reconnect the power to the unit and start the power up

procedure again.

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 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. This should last no longer than a few

minutes.

The device does not appear to respond to Police speed monitoring

systems

Have you performed a download recently? If not, perform a fresh

download to ensure that you have all the latest coordinates stored on

your device.

If you have the S100-RLD installed check that it is positioned in such a

way that the RLD lens is facing forwards and that it has a clear view of

the road and is unobstructed by any metallic objects.

Check your settings to see if you have 'Smart Mute' activated. If 'Smart

Mute' has been activated the device will only alert you to GPS generated

locations if you are travelling above the posted speed limit and detect

laser sources (and radar if you have the S100-RLD) if you are travelling

above 20mph.
