INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the latest addition to the Road Angel range, the ‘Pure’.
ROAD ANGEL Pure is a standalone GPS camera and accident blackspot
locator. It uses the latest global positioning satellite technology to give
you audible and visible alerts as you approach hazardous sections of road:
• Accident blackspots (as designated by the Police and Local Authorities)
• Safety cameras
• Mobile roadwork cameras
• Average speed monitoring zones
• Mobile safety vans
• Mobile laser guns
• Primary schools, congestion charging zones and unprotected level crossings
With over 250,000 miles of road around the UK, knowing the speed limit is often guesswork, that’s why Road
Angel Pure also has an onboard database of road speed limits. Provided by Here™, the road speed information
is presented in a circular road speed sign at the bottom left of the device.
By using mobile phone technology, Pure also allows you to both share the LIVE locations of mobile safety
camera vans. CameraShare™ and is a unique feature to Road Angel, and empowers you to keep yourself, and
other Road Angel users, safe on the roads.
We’re confident you will have a satisfactory experience as a new user and have written this guide to help you
acquaint yourself with its operation, which is designed to be simple and unobtrusive.
There are some pre-requisites it is important to understand to
set up the Road Angel Pure prior to using it for the first time, so
please take a few moments to read and follow these easy
instructions to get you started easily and quickly.

OVERVIEW
The Road Angel Pure has only two buttons, thus simplifying its operation and helping to avoid the
temptation to adjust the equipment while driving. All configuration is done by connecting via your
smartphone, PC or Mac. This also means all menus are far easier to navigate.
Once the unit has been registered and your subscription has been purchased the database of speed cameras
is updated and the unit functions automatically, alerting the driver to the local speed limits and any radar
cameras and school zones on your journey.
Please see the instructions to get your Road Angel Pure correctly set up.
THE ROAD ANGEL PURE IS DESIGNED SO THAT USERS CAN CUSTOMISE A WIDE RANGE OF OPTIONS
TO OPTIMISE THE OPERATION OF THE DEVICE TO ENSURE IT FUNCTIONS UNOBTRUSIVELY WHILE
DRIVING AND THERE IS NO NEED (OR TEMPTATION) FOR DRIVERS BECOME DISTRACTED BY
TWIDDLING SETTINGS WHILE DRIVING A MOVING VEHICLE.
