Frequently Asked Questions - GPS SPEED CAMERA LOCATOR INFORAD

How does the INFORAD GPS radar warning device work?

The INFORAD GPS radar warning device uses the GPS satellite network to know the position and speed of the vehicle. Thanks to an integrated database, it constantly checks if a risk zone (speed camera, danger zone) is ahead on the road. It warns the user 20 seconds before reaching the exact location of the risk.

How do I install the INFORAD in my vehicle?

Place the unit on the dashboard, as close as possible to the center of the windshield for optimal GPS reception. Use the provided Velcro® strips to secure it. Connect the USB cable to the cigarette lighter adapter, connect the assembly to the unit, then insert the adapter into the cigarette lighter socket. The green LED should blink to indicate power on and satellite search.

What to do if the green LED blinks for more than 15 minutes without stopping?

First check if your vehicle has a heat-reflecting windshield. If so, you need to purchase the optional miniature external antenna. Otherwise, contact online technical support at [e-mail] or check the FAQ on www.gpsinforad.com.

What is the Mute button for?

The Mute button allows you to temporarily silence the audible alarm, for example if you are already aware of the risk or if the sound is bothersome.

How do I update the risk zone database?

Download the configuration and update software from www.gpsinforad.com (customer area). Install it on your computer, connect the INFORAD via USB cable, and follow the instructions. The software will check if a newer update is available.

What are the types of visual and audible alerts?

Alerts are indicated by an LED: solid green (safety, active protection), flashing orange (caution, approaching a potential zone), flashing red (danger, speed exceeding the limit). Audibly: a continuous sound in risk zone with speeding, or short beeps depending on the risk level.

Can I add my own points of interest or report unlisted zones?

Yes, a long press on the Insert button allows you to memorize the GPS coordinates of the location and record personal points or report risk zones not listed in the database.

Does the device require a subscription for updates?

When registering online, you get a free subscription to updates for one year. After this period, a paid subscription may be necessary.

What to do if I encounter installation or usage difficulties?

Check the FAQ section on www.gpsinforad.com or contact support by email at [e-mail]. Online technical support can help you.

Is the device legal and can it detect all radars?

The INFORAD is a GPS warning device, perfectly legal on the road. It does not detect or jam mobile doppler or laser radars. It relies on a database of fixed and mobile risk zones (reported by users). It is designed to encourage caution and respect for speed limits.

The GPS speed camera locator INFORAD was designed to incite caution and to help observe the traffic law. Like any other GPS device, its operating mode makes it perfectly legal and its usage on the road is therefore authorised. INFORAD does not detect presence and does not cause interference to doppler or laser mobile radars.

How does the GPS radar detector INFORAD work ?

INFORAD knows the vehicle's exact position and effective speed due to a network of GPS satellites.

Thanks to its database, INFORAD constantly checks if a risk area, determined or not by automatic radar, exists on the vehicle route. INFORAD gives a warning 20 seconds before reaching the exact risk spot.

Quick start-up guide

Before installing the INFORAD receiver in your vehicle, we recommend that you read the following carefully and carry out the different actions in order, as described in this quick start-up guide.

Although your INFORAD unit was pre-loaded with the latest update available from factory, we advise that you only use it once you have checked using configuration software that a latest update is available on our server.

1 - After taking the different parts supplied with your GPS radar detector out of the packaging case, check, using the list available (on the sides of the packaging), that you have all of the accessories.

2 · Downloading configuration software and update

This software allows you to test the different functions of your INFORAD, to check if the latest update of risk areas is available, to adapt its configuration to your preferences and to manage or record your personal points.

This must be downloaded beforehand from the INFORAD site customer space at the following address: http://www.gpsinforad.com.

Install and follow the instructions supplied with the contextual aid and the integrated software guide. Then, on request, you should connect your INFORAD to the computer using the USB cable supplied. This will end the installation. During this stage you should also register to take advantage of a year's guarantee with standard replacement and the free subscription to updates.

3 • Installation of INFORAD in your vehicle

Install your unit on your dashboard at the nearest possible place of the centre of the windscreen, so that your unit has the largest possible view over the GPS network satellites.

Once this position is determined use the velcro® bands supplied to keep it in position. Now connect the USB cable to the cigarette lighter adapter supplied and connect the set to your unit, then insert the adapter into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.

4 • Start-up

The green diode of your INFORAD must be flash, indicating that your detector is on and that it has initiated the satellite search. This search, according to satellite visibility conditions, can last between 1 to 5 minutes. As soon as your locator has finished the satellite acquisition phase, the green diode stops flashing, thus indicating that your INFORAD is protecting you. (see the table of alerts on the following pages). If the green diode does not stop flashing after 15 minutes, start by checking in your vehicle's manual if it is fitted with a heat-absorbing windscreen. If this is the case you should make the acquisition of the miniature antenna an option. Otherwise, contact online support.
