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).
ALARM 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 re-
ceived signal. The signal strength
has nine levels for better distance
expression. GPS points are report-
ed verbally, such as “section speed
cameras”.
ADVANCED FEATURES:
• Motion sensor for contactless
operation. Silence the alarm
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 alarm volume according
to the level of noise inside the
vehicle.

ALERTS
NOTIFICATION SETTINGS:
SENSITIVITY: HIGHWAY - Maximum detector sensitivity.
CITY - Reduced sensitivity. We recommend using
the reduced sensitivity only in the case of
frequent alarms on a certain band (e.g. when
driving abroad with frequent false alarms on
the “K” band).
AUTO CITY - Automatically changes the maximum
and diminished sensitivity depending
on the speed.
CITY: Sets the limit of reduced sensitivity. (E.g.: If you
often encounter false alarms 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).
X: 0–9/OFF
K: 0–9/OFF
Ka: 0–9/OFF
ACITY (AUTO CITY): This feature enables the sensitivity limit on the
X, K, and Ka bands within the speed range set by
ACITY Speed (see ACITY Speed below).
X: 0–9/OFF
K: 0–9/OFF
Ka: 0–9/OFF

8 9
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.
X BAND: ON/OFF
K BAND: ON/OFF
K FILTER: NORMAL/HIGH/OFF
KA BAND: NARROW – Narrowed Ka band for more
specic band setup and fewer
false alarms.

of the whole Ka band.
OFF – disables Ka band detection.
KA BAND 34.0: ON/OFF

DATABASE UPDATE:
It is recommended to update the GPS database once a month. The detec-
tor 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 not only help on how to update, but
also a newsletter form, so we will keep you informed about every newly
released update.

EXPLANATORY NOTES:
Radar frequency bands: Dif-
ferent radar bands are used to
measure speed, most often Ka,
K, X, or newer MultaRadars and
Gatso Radars that have extreme-
ly low transmit power and are
thus hard to detect. Dierent
bands and frequencies are used
in each country, it is therefore
necessary to have the detector
set up correctly in each country.
• Ka - One of the most common-
ly used radar band for speed
measuring.
• K - The most widely used band
at all, is comonnly used for au-
tomatic doors at petrol stations
and shops, adaptive cruise con-
trol, etc. Devices operating in
the “K” band cause false alarms,
so their quality filtration is
essential.
• X – less and less used band,
used only in some Eastern Euro-
pean countries.
• CD/CT MultaRadars - modern
radars used in Slovakia, Austria,
Poland, the Netherlands, Spain,
Portugal, or Iceland. Their de-
tection is difficult and requires
a specially modified antenna.
• Gatso radars - are the worst
detectable ones, they can be sta-
tionary or mobile. They are used
in the Netherlands, Belgium,
France, Great Britain, Slovenia,
Lithuania and Finland. 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 most modern and sensitive
detector.
Narrow: narrowed bands (not
only Ka). The frequencies of a
specic part of the band are de-
tected in the narrowed Ka band to
increase sensitivity and eliminate
false alarms.
Wide: Broadband mode, on the
other hand, searches for exam-
ple 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
alarms.
Filters and false alerts: For
the correct functioning of the
detector, it is essential to lter
unwanted radar signals 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 electromag-
netic light at the level of infrared
radiation. The signal is trans-
mitted 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 a laser jammer.
GPS: The GPS antenna also de-
tects 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.
