ENHANCING RADAR DETECTORS

"Annoying false alarms" is the number one complaint about radar

detectors. Your GPSmirror is the only GPS detector in the world

which offers False Alarm Suppression Technology or F.A.S.T for

short.

Cheetah offer Radar Detector Interfaces and Laser Jammer

Interfaces as optional extras, which allow a wide range of radar

detectors and laser counter measures from various manufacturers

to work wirelessly with your GPSmirror as a fully integrated system.

For the most up-to-date list of compatible radar and laser systems

please visit www.speedcheetah.com

When our interface is plugged into your detector, mobile speed trap

alerts come through the GPSmirror instead. Voice alerts identify the

radar or laser band. Tone alerts ramp up to identify the signal

strength being detected.

False Alarm Suppression - Use the "Audible Alert Speed" section of

the main menu to set a speed threshold, below which detector

alerts are automatically muted. Drive faster and you'll hear the

alerts. Most users set this at 35mph to filter out annoying alerts in

town or in mall car parks when you don't need the detector anyway.

Radar Band Control - Leave your detector on maximum range

settings and use sections 5 to 8 of the main menu to filter our

individual radar bands if they are not used for speed traps in your

area.

City Mute - Your detector's city mute feature reduces its range

against genuine speed traps. Engage the GPSmirror's City Mute

instead by pressing button 4 and voice alerts announce the band

but alert tones are muted.

1. OVERVIEW

The GPSmirror is camera detector that prevents tickets and helps keep you

safe by making you more aware of your speed, your surroundings and

approaching hazards. The wide-angle mirror is designed to help reduce

blindspots by providing a much greater field of vision than factory mirrors.

Please note that objects in the GPSmirror may therefore be closer than

they appear. You should not operate any GPSmirror functions whilst

driving. Have a passenger operate the GPSmirror during this time, or stop

at a convenient location.

Switching on - While searching for satellites, the display shows "GPS."

When satellite lock is achieved, a voice alert confirms "GPS ready" and

your current speed is displayed. The first time you switch it on, a "first fix"

may take up to 20 minutes. This is normal for all GPS devices. Subsequent

lock times will be greatly reduced; normally between 5 seconds and 2

minutes.

GPS Speedo - Factory setting is "miles per hour." SiRF Star III GPS

technology works out where you are every second, so at a constant speed

the GPS speedo is more accurate than your car's own display. During

acceleration and deceleration, the GPS speedo will lag slightly while

position data is being refreshed. To change to kilometers per hour, go to

section 9 in the main menu.

Camera Alerts - Voice alerts and a distance countdown will remind you

as you approach a camera in the database. "Advisory speed limits" are

also announced where they are recorded in the database. These advisory

announcements are for guidance only. It is your responsibility to drive

within speed limits at all times, to always be aware of the prevailing speed

limit including any temporary restrictions and to lower your driving speed to

suit the conditions.

Overspeed Alerts - Choose the speed at which an overspeed reminder

is played using section 2 in the main menu (press button 1 twice.) Use

buttons 2 and 3 to adjust the setting and button 4 to save and exit the

menu. When you exceed your speed setting a voice alert announces

"Attention - Overspeed." To switch off the overspeed alert, store "255."

Storing personal locations - 100 GPS locations can be stored for your

own hazard reminders, using section 3 in the main menu. To store a new

personal location, press button 1 three times then press button 4 to save

and exit. When you next approach this spot from the same direction you

will receive an alert 200 meters in advance of your marked location. The

number of the location (0 to 99) will also be shown on the display. To

remove a stored personal location, simply overwrite it with a new location.

GPS Time Clock - Pressing button 2 displays the current time. Factory

setting is Greenwich Mean Time. Adjust the time zone in section 10 of the

main menu. (GMT = 0, Pacific = -8, Arizona = -7, Eastern = -5.) Press

button 4 to save your time zone.

Rescue Me - A long press of button 3 makes the mirror announce your

exact GPS co-ordinates.

Compass - There is a discreet driving compass next to the main speedo

display which shows your current heading. A short press of button 3 makes

the mirror announce your driving direction.

2. REPORTING NEW CAMERA LOCATIONS /

SPEED LIMITS

If you encounter a new camera or would like to report a speed limit on an

existing camera, you can email the information to

[email protected] or contact us via our website

www.speedcheetah.com

3. UPDATING THE MEMORY

IMPORTANT - Your GPSmirror comes pre-loaded with your country's

locations in its memory so you can use it straight out of the box. We

recommend you update the database at monthly intervals.

Before you update your mirror for the first time you must first

install the necessary USB drivers on the supplied CD. Do not

connect the GPSmirror to your PC yet. Insert the CD into your PC's

disc drive. On your PC, navigate to the disc drive e.g. My Computer >

Drive (D:). Then open the folder “USB Drivers” and select your

operating system. Double click the file and follow the on screen

instructions to install the necessary USB driver.

To update your GPSmirror, you need to use our GPS Update

software. This is a small piece of software on the disc, named

GPS0102.exe. We recommend you copy this application from the disc

to a memorable place on your PC so you have easy access for future

updates.

1. Connect your GPSmirror to a PC compatible computer with internet

access using the USB cable supplied.

2. Double click on the GPS0102.exe application and follow the

instructions.

3. The first time you run the GPS0102.exe application, your Anti-virus

software may ask you for permission for this application to access the

internet. You should click “Yes” or “Accept always”.

4. If the GPS Update software does not run, ensure that Microsoft .Net

1.1 is installed on your PC.

Full instructions are contained in section 3 of the User Manual.

* Inside the main

menu these buttons

have other functions.

Button 2 = UP

Button 3 = DOWN

Button 4 = SAVE &

EXIT.

4. INSTALLATION

Spring loaded adjustable clamps fit over almost

all shapes and sizes of rear view mirror. The

internal GPS antenna must overlap the factory

mirror for best performance. This area is

clearly marked by a sticker.

Some vehicles are fitted with Athermic

windscreens (heat reflective glass) which stop all GPS devices

working. Usually car manufacturers leave the area behind the mirror

clear for the placement of electronic toll tags, but if you experience

poor GPS reception you can purchase an extension GPS antenna

with an extra long cable which can receive GPS signals through the

rear windscreen, or externally. These are available from

www.speedcheetah.com or your local dealer.

The power cord should be run along the top of the windscreen, tucked

into the headliner, then down underneath the

passenger door's rubbers, under the glove box and round to the cigar

lighter socket for power. Any excess cable can

easily be hidden underneath the glove box. Care should be taken to

ensure that the power cord does not interfere with the correct

operation of any airbag or other vehicle control or system. If you

intend to swap your GPSmirror between vehicles we strongly

recommend fitting an extra power cord in the second vehicle.

There is a

sliding on/off

switch on the

cigar socket

plug for your

convenience,

and also on

the GPSmirror

itself.
