QUICK START GUIDE
Truckmate has been designed to route your vehicle safely and legally, avoiding hazards
and legal restrictions such as low bridges and roads that are unsuitable for use by larger
vehicles. Truckmate will create safe routes for you based on the attributes of your vehicle
and will alert you to any hazards if you should accidentally turn o that route for any
reason. However Truckmate will also alert you to hazards if it is used without a route
programmed to ensure your chosen route is a safe one.
These are the hazards and restrictions Truckmate will route you around and give you
advanced warning of:

To utilise the Enigma Camera database you will need to register your Syrius and
perform a download. Please refer to ‘Registering your Syrius’, ‘System Requirements
and Software Installation’ later in this Quick Start Guide for further information.
Start Up
1. Installing the SD Card
Before using your Syrius, you will need to install the SD Card included with the device.
The SD Card comes complete with a digital map of the UK and Ireland or Western Europe
depending on the model purchased and is also where the EnigmaTM camera database is
stored if you choose to subscribe and download it.
Start by moving the‘Batt. ON/OFF’switch located on the underside of the unit to the ‘ON’
position, then remove the SD card from its packaging and insert it into the SD Card slot as
indicated. Finally switch on the device by pressing and holding the standby power button
located on the left hand side of the unit for 2 seconds. As soon as the device is switched
on, the Syrius will automatically synchronise with the SD Card. Once the synchronisation
is completed, the SD Card will not function with any other device. Your Syrius is now
ready to navigate and the camera database can be downloaded if necessary.
Please note that if the unit does
not activate when you press and
hold the standby power button for
2 seconds it may require charging.
Refer to the section‘Charging the
internal battery’ later in this guide.

2. Charging the internal battery
Although the Syrius can be charged using the
cigarette lighter in your vehicle, a complete
charge is more easily achieved by using the
240V AC mains charger included. When new,
the battery in your Syrius is approximately
20% charged.
To charge the unit fully, move the‘Batt. ON/
OFF’switch to the ‘OFF’position and connect
the 240V AC mains charger as indicated in
the picture on the right. The battery light
on the Syrius will illuminate and will take
approximately 3 hours to charge. When the
internal battery is fully charged, the orange
LED will turn green. Once fully charged the
battery will last approximately 3 hrs during
normal use.
Note: The new battery’s full performance is
only achieved after two or three complete
charges and discharges.
CAUTION
THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY IS REPLACED WITH AN
UNAPPROVED TYPE. USING THE WRONG TYPE OF BATTERY MAY DAMAGE
YOUR UNIT AND INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY. ONLY SNOOPER AUTHORISED
PERSONNEL SHOULD REPLACE THE BATTERY. PLEASE DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO LOCAL WASTE MANAGEMENT RULES AND REGULATIONS.
FURTHER INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN THE USER MANUAL.
Plug the
charger cable into
the socket on the
back of the Syrius
Plug the charger into a
240V AC mains socket

3. Powering the Syrius using the built-in battery
Once the Syrius is fully charged, it is ready for use. Move the ‘Batt. ON/OFF’switch to the
‘ON’position and press and hold the standby/power switch on the left hand side of the
unit for 2 seconds to switch on the device.
WARNING
PLEASE DO NOT USE OR LEAVE THE SYRIUS IN EITHER WET OR HUMID CONDITIONS,
OR IN EXTREME TEMPERATURES, AS THIS COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE UNIT
AND THE BATTERY. WHEN NOT IN USE DO NOT LEAVE THE UNIT ATTACHED TO THE
WINDSCREEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM, TO AVOID DAMAGE TO
THE UNIT AND ALSO REDUCE THE RISK OF THEFT
WARNING
THE DEVICE MAY RESTART IF EXPOSED TO STATIC ELECTRICITY, PLEASE AVOID
TOUCHING THE USB SOCKET ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE UNIT.

4. Installing the Syrius using the Windscreen Suction Cup bracket
You can mount your Syrius to the inside of your vehicles windscreen using the
windscreen bracket provided.
Clean the area where you wish to position

the bracket thoroughly with a good quality
glass cleaner. This allows a more secure seal
on the windscreen.
Place the suction cup and bracket on

the windscreen and push the locking
lever towards the windscreen to secure
the bracket.
Adjust the angle of the bracket so that

when the unit is attached to it you can
view the display and operate the controls
safely.
Position the Syrius onto the bracket, by sliding

it onto it as indicated. Remove the Syrius by sliding
the unit upwards and o the bracket.
The Syrius can be powered directly either

from the internal battery if it is fully
charged or powered from the cigarette
lighter socket. To use the cigarette lighter
socket, plug the smaller plug on one
end of the power cable into the socket
marked DC 5V on the back of the Syrius
and plug the larger plug into the
cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle.
Please Note: Only use the cigarette lighter power cable provided with the Syrius.
The Syrius operates on 5V not 12V and using any other cigarette lighter power cable
will damage your device and void the warranty.

Operating Instructions
1. Starting Up
Once you have synchronised the SD Card it is time to perform the rst Start Up.
First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a space as possible, clear of tall

trees and buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above.
Next, switch the unit on by moving the‘Batt. ON/OFF’switch located on the underside

of the unit to the‘ON’position, then press and hold the standby power switch on the
left hand side of the unit for 2 seconds.
Whilst the Syrius software is loading, a start-up display will be shown for just a

few seconds and then an ‘Information Screen’will be displayed. Press the‘I Agree’
button and the screen will display a section of a map.
The Syrius needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this

has been achieved the Syrius will ascertain your position and this will be indicated by
a green arrow icon on the on-screen map and the GPS signal strength will be shown to
the bottom right hand corner of the display. Your Syrius is now ready to navigate.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the rst‘Cold’ start
could take anywhere from 15 – 50 minutes to establish a satellite connection. Once
initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only
a matter of minutes.
