abbreviated audible sequence of three beeps.

GPS Connection – After locating available satellites, the
Platinum100 will announce, “GPS Connected”.
NOTE: If you are in a location that prevents connection with GPS satellites (e.g.
parking garage), your K40 will still alert you to all radar and laser threats (laser
jamming only with optional Laser Defuser installed). Once you drive to an un-
obstructed location, the GPS will connect and you will hear, “GPS Connected”.
