9.0 Speed Camera Alert Patterns
To enable S7000 to alert you to Fixed Speed Cameras and Accident Black spots you will have to register and
download the AURA™
Camera Database.
9.1 Fixed Speed Safety Cameras
As you approach a fixed speed safety camera the unit will begin to provide both a voice alert stating the type
of camera you are approaching and the fixed speed limit for that camera and a visual alert displaying the
same information. The unit will also provide an audible tone (either a Soft or Hard beep depending on your
personalised setting) and S7000 will provide updated information indicating the distance to the camera. As you
move closer to the camera the ‘beeping’ will quicken. Once you have passed the fixed speed camera location,
the unit will reset ready to alert you to the next potential accident black spot.
To cancel an alert press the camera alert section of the screen the denotes that the alert has been muted
9.2 Risk Zones
The alert for a Risk Zone is the same as the Fixed Camera Alert.
9.3 SPECs Safety Camera Systems
Due to the fact that the SPECs camera incorporates a series of cameras that monitor a vehicles average speed
over a fixed distance, a different alert pattern has been devised to ensure that your concentration is maintained
throughout the danger zone.
When approaching the first camera in the SPECs system S7000 will begin to alert you at approximately 700
yards with a display indicating ‘SPECS START’ and emitting an audible alert.
The display will indicate the speed limit at this point and then count down the remaining distance to the
location of the camera. The unit will then emit an audible alert and flash ‘SPECS’ every few seconds to remind
you that you are still within the ‘SPECS’ system.
S7000 will indicate the end of the SPEC’s sequence by displaying ‘SPECS END’ and emitting an audible alert.
If after thirty seconds you do not pass another camera, for instance if you have turned off the road without
passing the last camera in the SPEC’s sequence, the warning will no longer be displayed.
Please Note: If you join a road in the middle of a SPECs series you will automatically get a visual and audible
alert, indicating the type of camera, 300 yards before the first camera that you pass.
9.4 Saving User Points
If in the unlikely event that you pass the location of a safety camera and S7000 does not provide you with an
alert, you have the opportunity to store the coordinates of that location manually. Simply park safely and as close as possible to
the site, then press the ‘Save User Point’ icon on the screen. The following dialogue box will be
displayed.
Press the OK button to store the new location or press cancel if you do not wish to store the
new user point.
