Possible cheat sheet for the Navalert

[proudNMAmember]

Hey Navalert, is it possible to get a "cheat sheet" for my Navalert? Yes, I do have the owners manual but it is somewhat difficult to understand. If cheat sheets are available, where are they available at? Trying to program and set up my unit. I hope you guys don't mind me asking?

A cheat sheet is a good idea. I had the same take on the instruction manual. It's like they tried to dumb it down so much that it's impossible to understand - if that makes any sense. Or more like it's so annoying to look at the manual that you'd rather do it wrong 25 times just so you don't have to get annoyed by trying to RTFM.

This is a quick reference VERSION 2 to the features of your new NavAlert. It may be printed for ease of use.

Mode Selection:
After plugging in power to the NavAlert, move the switch on the side of the unit to CAM or SAFE mode. D/L is the “Download Position” used for downloading a new NavAlert database to the unit via the USB cable from our website.
SAFE is the safe driving mode and provides information about stored fixed cameras, possible mobile cameras, high collision areas and school zones. (During school hours only). As this will be an ever-evolving database, some collision and school zones may not be available for your area. Please visit the NavAlert website if you have found some you would like included for future use.
CAM is the camera detection mode and provides information on fixed camera positions only.

Volume: The volume of the voice warning and warning tones is adjusted by the volume control.

Button use in moving vehicle:

Adding / deleting a user position:
Users may wish to make a record of a position as they are driving.
If the MENU button is pressed briefly while the vehicle is in motion, the NavAlert will store the current position and make the announcement “user position logged”. In the future, when the vehicle travels in the SAME DIRECTION and location as when the position was stored, the driver is advised of the approaching location.
A user position may be deleted from the NavAlert memory simply by pressing MENU button within 5 seconds of ‘user position’ being made, or when NavAlert makes a warning that a previously entered user position is approaching. This feature is an excellent method of alerting the driver to any custom location the driver feels they need to be alerted.
Examples:
• Locations of frequented locations of mobile radar vehicles
• Locations of new fixed cameras not in latest database
• Make sure to report these locations to www.NavAlert.com NOTE some camera locations will only alert in the directions it will take pictures, if your unit does not alert, make sure the camera is in the correct direction of travel. Red light and speed camera's will always have a warning sign before them, make sure your not reporting a traffic camera which does not take violation pictures.

*pushing menu button when zone is alerting will turn off that type of zone unitll you power unit down. Use caution when turning of any ZONES. Must be pressed within 4 seconds of hearing alert, unit will display "off".


Pressing and holding for 2 seconds will allow you to cycle between a speedometer, a compass or an altimeter.
After 2 seconds a chime tone will sound, letting you know you are in this mode.
An additional quick push of the button will go to the next screen. Each single push continues to the next screen.
The screens (modes) are as followed:
• Heading Mode: Display the direction (Heading) of vehicle
• Altitude Mode: Display the driving altitude (This will always be in meters)
• Speed Mode: Display the real speed of vehicle (Either MPH or KMPH) NOTE: MPH display is for United States and KMPH is for Canada.
