AVOID EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT
This device contains a lithium ion battery: Never operate or leave this device near a fire or heat source. Do not leave it unattended for extended periods of time on a dashboard exposed to bright sunlight. Do not dispose of it in an open fire.
Your INFORAD K2 has been designed to improve road safety by raising your awareness of speed limits. The device does not detect speed cameras but uses the GPS satellite system instead. This makes it legal in most European countries with the exception of Germany and Austria. Nevertheless, we strongly suggest that you consult before travelling to ensure the device complies with local laws.
Using the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite network, INFORAD K2 always knows the position of your vehicle, and its processor compares this with the more than 20,000 risk areas stored in its database. INFORAD K2 warns you before you enter a risk area, whether or not there is a speed camera there.
It should include an INFORAD K2 device, a windscreen mounting clip (D), a cigarette lighter power adapter and this manual.
Your INFORAD device can be placed directly on the vehicle's dashboard, as close as possible to the windscreen and in the driver's line of site or mounted on the windscreen using its mounting clip. We especially recommend using the mounting clip with heat reflective windscreens: Refer to section 5 "Optimising satellite signal acquisition".
Whatever the mounting position used, make sure that the INFORAD logo on the device is pointing skywards.
Switch the device on using the switch (C). On power up, INFORAD starts immediately and three beeps are heard indicating proper start up.
Once INFORAD K2 is switched on, the LED (B) blinks green during satellite data acquisition. This may take 1 to 5 minutes depending on where you are located (acquisition is faster in open landscape than in town or in wooded areas). As soon as acquisition is complete, the LED (B) changes to steady green and a melody warns you that your INFORAD K2 is functioning properly and protecting you.
If for any reason, the LED (B) continues to blink, this means that the satellites have not yet been found. In this case, refer to section 5 "Optimising satellite signal acquisition" and if this does not solve the problem, call our technical support helpline.
The On/Off switch (C) is used to switch your INFORAD K2 on or off.
Control the buzzer volume with the switch indicated (G). There are 3 possible positions: high, medium, low.
INFORAD K2 has its own lithium ion battery. Once it is fully charged, your device becomes completely autonomous and can be removed from the cigarette lighter adapter. To recharge the battery, use the cigarette lighter adapter supplied or the USB port that also supplies power on a computer. The LED (A) lights up while the battery is charging and goes out once it is fully charged. When the battery is fully discharged, no LED lights up.
This is used to recharge the INFORAD K2's battery in your vehicle. Insert the adapter into the cigarette lighter in your vehicle, remove the cap (F) on your INFORAD device and connect the USB port (E) to the cigarette lighter adapter.
To release your INFORAD K2 from its mounting clip, press on the side tabs.
Your INFORAD device warns you as you approach a risk area using visual indications from the LED (B) and audible indications, as follows:
SATELLITE ALERTS: | |||
Searching for satellites | Blinking green LED | ||
Device operational, INFORAD is protecting you | Steady green LED + melody | ||
SPEED CAMERA ALERTS and Points Of Interest (POI): | |||
Type of area | your position | Approaching the area | Too fast |
Certified speed camera zone | 3 beeps + Steady red LED | Two tone alarm + Blinking red LED | |
Potential mobile speed camera zone | 3 beeps + Steady orange LED | Two tone alarm + Blinking orange LED | |
Certified SPECS speed camera zone | 3 beeps + Blinking Green / Orange | Two tone alarm + Blinking Green / Orange | |
A user-defined Point of Interest (POI) | 2 beeps + Steady orange LED |
N.B.
The speed camera database
Your INFORAD is designed to work out of the box and requires no complex installation. Your Inforad is loaded with a speed camera database containing 20,000 European points. For the full list of covered countries, go to www.gpsinforad.com. The database will change from time to time as the network evolves. INFORAD has a team of people constantly verifying this evolution to ensure the best possible coverage. Nevertheless, if you discover an anomaly or a new speed camera position that is not in our latest database, please let us know by using our INFORAD MANAGER software (risk area information form) or our Web site (join the Inforad community).
The database evolves continually so as to always ensure that you have maximum protection. Consequently, we recommend that you update your INFORAD device every week using INFORAD MANAGER.
Minimum PC system requirements:
Processor: Pentium II or higher
RAM: 128 Mbytes
Operating systems: MS Windows® 98SE, ME, 2000, NT, XP, VISTA and SEVEN.
