Safety Alert Use of this product is not intended to, and does not, ensure that motorists or passengers will not be involved in traffic accidents.

Intro
Operation
Press and release Warranty the either Customer Assistance Select/Dim button to proceed to the next user mode or the Program/Mute button to exit the Program mode.
The compass will remain accurately calibrated as long as your detector is mounted in the same place in your vehicle. If you change the location where Warranty Operationunit Customer the is mounted or move it to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the Assistance compass. The compass temporarily may not provide accurate readings if you are inside a building or enclosure, or are close to a large metal tractor/trailer, truck, or train. Once you are away from such a location, the compass will work correctly again. NOTE When the instructions direct you to drive in two circles, a large parking lot is the most convenient place to do so. It does not matter what direction your vehicle is pointing when you start the circles, which direction you go to make the circles, and it does not have to be exactly two circles. Four three-point turns, two small squares, or any two complete loops will work as well as two circles. It does not matter what size the circles are, if your speed is constant, or how fast you make the circles [but less than two minutes]. Please be careful when making the circles and watch for other traffic.
