Radar Detector Genevo PRO

Congratulations on your purchase of world's most
intelligent radar and laser detector Genevo PRO.
Main functions of Genevo PRO
Genevo PRO is the most advanced detector from Genevo family and is designed to protect the driver from speeding fines. Genevo
PRO communicates with driver in English language and its main functions are detection of microwave radars (K / Ka bands), red
light cameras and sectional speed cameras (using its own GPS database), MultaRadars CT/CD and radar Gatso RT3 and RT4, or
jamming laser guns. It also provides a quick deactivation of all functionality via removing the magnetic display. Genevo PRO also
displays connectivity status of GPS antenna and all connected radars and accessories. Disconnected GPS is signaled by flashing
GPS icon on the screen, and accessories are signaled in the same way by flashing the HWY, A-C or CTY icon.
Notifications:
Text warning and voice alert appears on Genevo PRO during radar alert. The strength of the signal and beeps expresses the
intensity of the received signal. Signal strength has ten levels. GPS alerts are reported by voice. For example “Speed Camera”.
Accessories alerts are reported by voice: „Laser”.

AGenevo PRO CONTROL UNIT
The control Unit is usually placed in a fuse box, space above pedals, using stripping tape to wires in
your car, or using double-sided duck tape. Connecting individual components is obvious thanks to
writing on the control box. All can be easily done thanks to plug-in connectors. When connecting
individual accessories please mind the plug you are trying to connect the cables into, as they must
be connected to a correct plug, in case it isn't so the GENEVO PRO might not work properly or be
permanently damaged. Also be mindful of placing the control unit so that the speaker on top of it is
placed facing in free space.
BDISPLAY
The display is usually placed in vehicle cabin on your consideration using the double-sided sticky
tapes, or magnetic tape. We recommend placing the display in an easily accessible area.
CGPS ANTENNA
Place the GPS antenna using double-sided duck tape to a place where the antenna can see the sky.
Ideally on the dashboard of your car. If you are placing it under the dashboard, make sure that the
antenna is not covered by any metal objects. you can check the antennas functionality on the
display. If the GPS icon glows constantly, it means it works as intended, in case it's blinking it
means that it can not find a GPS signal. The first time it can take 1-5 minutes for the GPS to
connect.

DSPEAKER
Signaling speaker should be placed somewhere in the leg-space of the driver, or passenger. You
need to pace it so that when the speaker goes off you can clearly hear the alerts.
ERADAR ANTENNA HD+ / HDM+
The antenna captures signals emitted by radars; the choice of the installation place is, therefore,
crucial to its proper functioning and good sensitivity of the detector. The antenna is mounted to the
front of the car, usually into its plastic bumper or behind the front grille in front of the vehicle
radiator. It must be installed in the place from where the front part has a good view of the road
ahead. It is ideal to locate the antenna into the bumper vent, 30-50 cm above the ground. If you
choose to mount the antenna so that the bumper covers its front part, check the material from
which the bumper is made and whether it contains a metal reinforcement. Some types of plastic
can weaken radar waves and reduce the efficiency of the detector. Never mount the antenna behind
metal parts of the vehicle! When installing the antenna, you can use self-tapping screws in places
where the nut can be attached from the other side, as well as classic nut bolts.After selecting a
suitable location for the antenna and the type of screws, drill two to four screw holes. It is
recommended that the antenna is attached with 4 screws. The antenna cable can be slightly bent.
Firstly, attach the antenna with two screws crosswise against each other and tighten them partly;
then mount the remaining two screws.
In some vehicles, it is advisable to carry out the installation using a special support plate that is
included in the sales package. It has the shape of the letter “L” and is made of thick steel plate with
pre-drilled holes. Firstly, screw the support plate to the appropriate place, and then attach the
antenna to the plate.

FLASER SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT
Control unit is installed in the interior of the vehicle, either under the dashboard or under the
padding, however you see fit. The only important thing is that the control unit must not get into
contact with water. Connect the control unit power cord to the control unit using the dedicated
pins.
NOTE: 1A fuse is placed inside the control box. If you require extra fuse it can be installed on the
cables (not necessary). After the laser system control unit is connected to the Genevo PRO hub,
connect the sensors into one of the „S” slots. In case you use multiple sensors connect all of the
regardless of the order.

GLASER SENSORS
Laser sensors can be mounted on the front of the vehicle in the front grill, above the bumper or in
the rear of the vehicle. Be extra careful to not damage the cable, sensor or connector during
installation, as it will terminate your warranty. To ensure better looks of your vehicle we
recommend to use plexiglass „Perspex” to hide the sensors. For more information about the glass
please contact your distributor.
To drive the cables to the fuse box, please use the original cable pass. In case there is not enough
space there you will need to drill an extra hole for the connector and the cable. Please be extra
careful again to not damage cables or other car installation. After you finish the cable installation,
you should seal the gap using silicon or other fillings to prevent water and humidity entering the
vehicle. Check the cable if its long enough to reach the desired destination. When you have
connected together with a cable from the sensor (1m long) with the control box cable (4m long)
make sure to use waterproofing duck tape. You can use hot air or lighter to make the seal even
tighter. Place the sensors so that they have a clear view to the front or the rear using the included
holders and double sided duck tape. If necessary, you can bend the holder into required position.
Make sure that the sensor is held firmly and can withstand vibrations caused by cruising and is still
in horizontal front/rear facing position.
