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.

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.
