Your Snooper S6 will then automatically dial and connect to our database
and once your unit has been authenticated will download the location
coordinates. Your S6 should in most cases connect first time and an
average download should be completed in just a few minutes. In the
unlikely event that the connection is not achieved instantly your S6 will
re-dial up to five times. If the device has tried to connect five times
without success please refer to the ’Troubleshooting’ section of this
manual.
As there are constant additions to our location database you will need to
perform regular downloads. The frequency with which you do this is
entirely up to you, but we recommend that higher mileage drivers often
driving on unfamiliar roads download once or twice a week whereas
lower mileage drivers perform a download once or twice a month.
Uploading
The Snooper S6-R also gives you the opportunity to ’Up load’
co-ordinates if in the unlikely event you should discover a Safety Camera
location not already in our database (See Operating Instructions on how
to save a new location). The upload facility should be performed directly
after a successful download when the display will read ’DOWNLOAD
SUCCESS and ask the question UPLOAD NOW?’ If you are sure that
the co-ordinates you have saved are correct press ’YES’ and they will be
uploaded automatically to be verified by our data collection team. If
verification proves to be positive the co-ordinates will then be added to
our master database.

Very occasionally you may experience bad satellite coverage that may
lead to you losing a signal. This should last no longer than a few short
minutes.
The device does not appear to respond to Police speed monitoring
systems.
Have you performed a download recently? If not perform a fresh
download to ensure that you have all the latest co-ordinates stored on
your device.
If you have the S6-RLD installed check that it is positioned in such a way
that the antenna lens is facing forwards and that it has a clear view of the
road and is unobstructed by any metallic objects.
Check your settings to see if you have ’Smart Mute’ activated. If ’Smart
Mute’ has been activated the device will only alert to GPS generated
locations if you are travelling above the posted speed limit and detect
radar and laser sources if you are travelling above 20 mph.
