Operating Instructions
1. Using the 3Zero for the first time
After you have updated and installed your 3Zero it is time to perform the first ‘Cold’ start up. First make sure your vehicle is parked in
as open a space as possible, clear of tall trees and buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has as clear a view of the sky above. Next
turn the unit on by moving the on/off switch on the left hand side of the unit to the On position. After going through an initial start-
up sequence the LED text display will display ’Searching for Satellites...’ as the unit begins to search for satellite connection. The 3Zero
needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this has been achieved the 3Zero will proceed to the Standby
screen of your choice (See Standby Screen below). As soon as the standby screen is displayed on your 3Zero it is ready to use and will
now automatically alert you of any locations stored in its database. A variety of audible and visual alert patterns are explained later
on in this section. See ‘Features and Settings’ to personalise your unit.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first ‘Cold’ start could take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes
to establish a satellite connection. Once initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only a
matter of minutes.
Please Note: If the unit is not used for some time the initial GPS start up may take longer than when the unit is used regularly.
2. Standby Screen
There are three selectable standby screens to choose from:
a) Atomic Clock and Compass
b) GPS Signal Strength and Compass
c) Vehicle Speed (Factory Default)
To select your preference press and hold the MUTE/MENU button (for approximately two seconds) until the unit displays ‘PRE-ALERT’,
then using the UP/DOWN button in the centre of the unit scroll through the Menu options until the screen reads ‘Scr Mode’ and press
the SELECT button. Then use the UP/DOWN button to scroll up or down through the options. When you reach your desired setting,
press the SELECT button again.
