SuPPRESSING FALSE ALERTS

FalseList
see a message that this specific signal at this specific location will be stored in the FalseList
database. If you drive past the location again, you will no longer hear an audio alarm; you will
still see a warning on your display however, indicating that the alarm has been suppressed
by FalseList. Your DSI will still sound an audio alarm in case of a real speed trap at the same
location, since the 'fingerprint' for that signal will usually differ from the one in the FalseList
database.
SpeedSense (SpS)
not likely to exceed any speed limits. You could for instance be stuck in traffic, be looking
for your way around a business park or simply be searching for a parking spot at a shopping
centre. SpeedSense eliminates these by simply letting you indicate the speed below which
the DSI will not give audible warnings.
The accompanying pilot screen indicates that the SpeedSense (SpS) value is 25. Below
25 km/h, therefore, the DSI will not produce audio alerts (but it will indicate them on your
Memory Display screen), keeping things nice and quiet in your car.
You can configure SpeedSense on your DSI under Main Menu > Settings > SpeedSense, in which you can set a 'high' and a 'low' SpeedSense
value. The high value is meant for motorways, the low one for secondary roads (many people set the high value at or around 100 km/h and the low
value at or around 50 km/h). If you turn on 'auto switch' in the SpeedSense settings, your DSI will automatically switch from the high to the low
value as soon as your actual speed reaches the low SpeedSense value. If you do not turn 'auto switch' on, you will be able to switch from the high
to the low value only by pressing the SpS button. Switching up from the low SpeedSense value to the high value can only be done using the SpS
button, whether 'auto switch' is on or not.

MILEAGELoG AND PoLICECHECK
MileageLog
Stinger's MileageLogging keeps your business and private trips separate.
At the start of each trip, select the type of trip and to record fuel stops and other interruptions,
press 'pitstop' after resuming the trip. If you wish, you can also enter the current mileage at
the time of the pitstop
PoliceCheck
This unique function helps you fight unjust traffic fines.
If you have PoliceCheck switched on (Main Menu > Settings > MileageLogging), your
DSI will automatically keep track of where and when you encountered speed traps (radar,
laser, loops, SPECS, etc), your speed at that time as well as the frequencies used permitting
you to check wether they fall within the legally permitted bandwith.
To save and edit MileageLogging and PoliceCheck data (which can also be done in Excel),
follow these two steps. First, put the data on your Memory Display by going to Main Menu >
Settings > MileageLogging > Data to display. Then export the data from your Memory
Display to your Mac or PC by connecting your Memory Display to the PC Interface. To copy
and edit the data, please refer to the next chapter: Stinger Desktop.
