ROAD ANGEL Database and Updating
Your ROAD ANGEL is capable of storing up to 50,000 unique danger
zones. Each unit is pre-programmed with the latest database on
leaving the factory, so it is not necessary to update immediately.
However, road regulations are constantly changing and you will need
to update your database from time to time. The recommended
update frequency is monthly, but if you are a high mileage motorist,
often driving on unfamiliar roads, you may wish to update your
database more regularly.
ROAD ANGEL has been designed to be updated simply and efficiently.
You require the following:-
• Access to the internet or purchase the optional modem
• The ROAD ANGEL update CD (in your pack)
• The ROAD ANGEL unit
• The PC lead (in your pack)
• The ROAD ANGEL Power Supply
Step 1 – Load the PC software on to your computer
(see instructions with CD).
Step 2 – Use the ROAD ANGEL power supply to power your
ROAD ANGEL.
Step 3 – Plug the PC connector into the rear serial socket on
your ROAD ANGEL.
Step 4 – Plug the serial PC lead in to the serial port on
your computer.
