Operating Instructions Operation Starting Up After you have successfully installed your Cobra SL3 it is time to perform the first 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 a clear view of the sky above. Next, power the unit up by turning the on/off/volume towards you. The SL3 will go through a brief self test procedure and then the central red LED will flash indicating that the unit is searching for a satellite connection. The SL3 needs to acquire a minimum of 4 satellites to work effectively. Once this has been achieved the LED will turn green and will stop flashing. Once the solid green LED is displayed your SL3 is ready for use and will now automatically alert you of any locations stored in it's database. If the GPS Safety Locator has never been used before or has not been used for over a week, the first "cold" start up could take somewhere between 5 to 30 minutes. Once initialized, subsequent start ups will take as little as 60 seconds. 1. Mute Button If during an alert you decide that you would like to mute it, simply press the 'Mute' button briefly. The LEDs will continue to display a visual alert but no sound will be heard. After you have travelled out of range of the location the device will automatically reset so that next time you encounter a location you will receive both audible and visual alerts as normal.

There are 2 levels of brightness to choose from bright or dimmed. S SAFETY LOCAT Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 12 OR GP OR GP
