MAIN FEATURES OF YOUR
GENEVO MAX DETECTOR:
GENEVO MAX is the rst member
of new lineup of Genevo radar
detectors.
It is designed primarily to protect
the driver from unnecessary pen-
alties for speeding due to reliable
detection of:
• microwave radars (K, Ka).
• multaRadars CT and CD.
• GATSO RT3 and RT4 radars.
• red-light cameras.
• stationary speed cameras.
• section speed cameras (using
GPS updatable database).
ALERT INTERPRETATION:
In the case of a radar alert, a
visual warning appears on
the display. A voice refers to
the frequency band and the
intensity of the intermittent tone
(beep) expresses the strength
of the received signal. The signal
strength has nine levels for better
distance expression. GPS points
are reported verbally, such as
“section speed cameras”.
ADVANCED FEATURES:
• Motion sensor for contactless
operation. Silence the alert
without having to search for the
right button.
• Ambient light sensor for auto-
matic brightness adjustment.
The display automatically adjusts
the brightness according to the
amount of light in the cabin.
• Noise sensor in the cabin. The
detector automatically adjusts
the alert volume according to the
level of noise inside the vehicle.
Please note: The product may only
be used for the purposes specied
in this manual. Never use dam-
aged equipment.

ALERTS
NOTIFICATION SETTINGS:
SENSITIVITY: HIGHWAY - Maximum detector sensitivity.
CITY - Reduced sensitivity. We recommend using
the reduced sensitivity only in the case of
frequent alerts on a certain band (e.g. when
driving abroad with frequent false alerts on
the K band).
AUTO CITY - Automatically changes the maximum
and reduced sensitivity depending on
the speed.
CITY: Sets the limit of reduced sensitivity. (E.g.: If you
of ten encounter false alerts on the K band with
signal strength 2 when driving through the city,
then set K2, the detector will not warn of any signal
lower than and equal to the set intensity, OFF will
turn o this band in reduced sensitivity).
K: 0–9/OFF
Ka: 0–9/OFF
ACITY (AUTO CITY): This feature enables the sensitivity limit on the K,
and Ka bands within the speed range set by ACITY
Speed (see ACITY Speed below).
K: 0–9/OFF
Ka: 0–9/OFF

8
ACITY (AUTO CITY) SPEED: Automatically adjusts sensitivity to
your speed. E.g. When set to 30 50, the
detector will not notify you of any signal
at speeds of less than 30 km/h, at speeds
of 30-50 km/h, the detector will notify
you according to the ACITY setting, and
when driving at speeds over 50 km/h,
the detector will automatically notify you
with maximum sensitivity. When driving
below the set speed, the detector will not
warn of radars.
MIN SPEED: OFF/10-130KM/H - Sets the minimum
speed at which the detector starts to
alert on radars. E.g. when set to 20KM/H,
the detector will only start to warn when
this speed is exceeded.
K BAND: ON/OFF
K FILTER: NORMAL/HIGH/OFF
KA BAND: NARROW – Narrowed Ka band for more
specic band setup and fewer
false alerts.
WIDE – enables detection
of the whole Ka band.
OFF – disables Ka band detection.
KA BAND 34.0: ON/OFF
KA BAND 34.3: ON/OFF
KA BAND 34.7: ON/OFF
KA BAND 35.5: ON/OFF
KA FILTER: NORMAL/HIGH/OFF
LASER DETECTION: ON/OFF
MR CT: WIDE/NARROW/OFF
MR CD: WIDE/NARROW/OFF
GATSO RT3: ON/OFF
GATSO RT4: ON/OFF
MR FILTER: LOW/HIGH/OFF - This function lters out
false alerts of cars that use a blind-spot
assistant or adaptive cruise control.
When the MR Filter function is active,
detector sensitivity to MR CT/CD radars is
slightly reduced.
New Firmware updates add detections of new types of radars, all
supported radars, recommended settings and more information can be
found at www.genevo.com/en/radars_en.

press the false alert location.
ADD YOUR OWN
GPS POINT: Long press any button to add your own GPS point.
INFO:
This section contains information about the rmware version, database
version, device serial number, contacts and more.
SPEEDMETER - LEGALIZATION FUNCTION:
This feature is used to legalize the device for use in countries where the radar
detectors are prohibited. The detector stops alerting to radars and lasers.
Only your current speed will appear on the display and all radar and laser
detection settings will disappear from the menu. When entering the radar
settings submenu, a notication of deactivated functions will appear.
To activate the Speedmeter, the detector must be turned ON, hold down the
“Brightness control” and “Increase the volume” buttons simultaneously for
5 seconds. To deactivate the speedmeter function, it is necessary to update
the detector in the usual way and all functions will be fully functional again,
for help with updating continue to DATABASE UPDATE.
DATABASE UPDATE:
It is recommended to update the GPS database once a month. The detector
can be updated in two ways:
1. Simply online for WIN and MacOS at: www.genevoupdate.com
2. By downloading the updater software for Windows OS at:
www.genevo.com/en/updates/
On these websites, you will nd help on how to update and also a newsletter
form, so we will keep you informed about every newly released update.

EXPLANATORY NOTES:
Radar frequency bands: Dierent
radar bands are used to measure
speed, most often Ka, K, X, or newer
MultaRadars and GATSO Radars
that have extremely low transmit
power and are hard to detect.
Dierent bands and frequencies are
used in each country, it is therefore
necessary to have the detector set up
correctly for each country.
• Ka - One of the most commonly
used radar band for speed
measuring.
• K - The most widely used band at
all, is comonnly used for automatic
doors at petrol stations and shops,
adaptive cruise control, etc. Devices
operating in the K band cause false
alerts, so their quality filtration is
essential.
• X – Less and less used band, used
only in some Eastern European
countries.
• CD/CT MultaRadars - Modern
radars used in Austria, Iceland,
Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain.
• GATSO radars - Another modern
radars, they can be stationary or
mobile. They are used in Belgium,
France, Finland, Great Britain,
Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovenia.
They are divided into RT2/RT3/RT4
- a higher number means a more
modern version. The detection of
these radars is possible only by the
latest and most sensitive detector.
Narrow: Narrowed bands. Frequency
of a specic part of aband is detected
in the narrowed band to increase
sensitivity and eliminate false alerts.
Wide: Broadband mode, on the
other hand, searches for example
the entire Ka band from 33.4 GHz
to 36.0 GHz. Use this setting only if
absolutely necessary, as it shortens
the detection distance and increases
the number of false alerts.
Filters and false alerts: For the
correct functioning of the detector, it
is essential to lter unwanted radar
signals from sources other than
police radars (eg adaptive cruise
control of modern vehicles), so that
the detector reports only police
radars. The lter settings are further
described on page 7 in the manual
(ALERTS NOTIFICATION SETTINGS).
Laser measurement: Laser speed
measurement is based on emitting
an ultra narrow and short-time beam
of electromagnetic light at the level
of infrared radiation. The signal is
transmitted for a very short time at
a specic place (usually car’s licence
plate) and therefore, it is almost
imposible to detect it in advance. The
only eective protection against laser
speed measurement is an additional
active laser system.
GPS: The GPS antenna also detects
measurements that do not emit any
signals. These include section speed
cameras, stationary speed cameras
(induction loops) or “red-light
cameras”. We keep adding everything
continuously to the GPS database of
stationary threats - all you have to do
is keep the detector updated.
