Optional GPS Locator Optional Global Position System Locator Initial Satellite Lock • When the Optional GPS Locator is first used or after a prolonged period of nonuse, the GPS Locator needs more time to detect the Global Position System satellites. 1. After installation of the GPS Locator, turn the detector unit On with the vehicle in an area clear of obstructions to the sky. 2. Keep the detector turned On for at least 15 minutes to allow fast satellite acquisition in subsequent power-ups. The vehicle can be moving as long as it is in an area where the GPS Locator can "see the sky." GPS Locator Status The GPS icon changes to indicate received signal status: NOTE When GPS signal is lost at the Speed and Lat/Lon screens, the satellite icon will change and the data lines will be filled with dashes. Optional GPS Locator Activated Alerts • In addition to the alerts provided by the detector, the GPS Locator provides alerts based on vehicle location and information in the GPS Locator databases. Photo Enforcement Alerts Whenever your vehicle approaches a photo enforced location (automated speed and red light cameras) contained in the built-in GPS Locator database, an alarm will be provided with a unique chime and the camera icon will become progressively larger as you approach the location. Caution Area Alerts If you have turned Caution Area Alert On, whenever your vehicle approaches a caution area (such as speed traps and high-accident intersections) contained in the built-in GPS Locator database, an alarm will be provided with a unique chime and the Caution icon will become progressively larger as you approach the location. The factory setting is Caution Area Alert Off. 34 English Optional GPS Locator Optional Global Position System Locator User Location Alerts The system can store up to 1,000 User Location Alerts to provide warnings at locations not included in the built-in GPS Locator database. Whenever your vehicle approaches a user set location, an alarm will be provided with a unique chime and the flag icon will become progressively larger as you approach the location. I To set a User Location: Press and hold the Menu/Save button for at least two seconds when the vehicle is at a location you want to save. I To delete a specific User Location: Press and hold the Menu/Save button for at least two seconds while at that location and the User Location Alert is sounding. A specific location can be deleted only while at that location. I To delete all User Locations: When an Optional GPS Locator unit is installed, you can delete all user-entered Location Alerts in Menu mode (see page 15). Speed Alert When a GPS Locator unit is installed and receiving a signal and Speed Alert mode is turned On, the detector will sound an alert whenever the vehicle's speed exceeds the set point you have selected. The speed settings can be adjusted in 5 mph or km/h increments. The factory setting is Speed Alert Off. Speed units can be selected as a User setting. See pages 14 and 15 for User and Alert Settings Menus. Vehicle Location When a GPS Locator unit is installed and receiving a signal, you can determine the position (latitude and longitude) of your vehicle from the Lat/Lon standby screen. See page 8. Compass When a GPS Locator unit is installed and receiving a signal, you can see your direction of travel based on the GPS system. The GPS compass overrides the magnetic Compass except when the GPS signal is lost. GPS Database Information When a GPS Locator unit is installed, you can view the version and date on which the installed database of Photo Enforcement and Caution Area Locations was updated. To update the database, go to Cobra's website (www.cobra.com/AURA) and follow the online instructions. Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 35
