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 off 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 AURA™ Camera database you will need to register Truckmate and
perform a download. Please refer to‘System Requirements and Software Installation’
later in this Quick Start Guide for further information.
Start Up
1. Installing the SD Card
Before using Truckmate, 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 AURATM camera database is
stored if you choose to subscribe and download it.
Start by moving the ‘Batt. ON/OFF’ switch located on the back 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. Switch on the device by pressing and holding the standby power button
located on the left hand side of the unit for 2 seconds. Press the‘Navi’icon from the menu
options. As soon as the ‘Navi’ icon is pressed, Truckmate will automatically synchronise
with the SD Card. Once the synchronisation is completed, the SD Card will not function
with any other device. Truckmate 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 Truckmate 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 Truckmate is
approximately 20% charged.
To charge the unit fully, move the‘Batt. ON/
OFF’switch to the‘ON’position and connect
the 240V AC mains charger as indicated in
the picture on the right. The battery light
on Truckmate will illuminate and will take
approximately 3 hours to charge. When the
internal battery is fully charged, the red LED
will switch off. 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 ON THE
SOFTWARE CD.

4. Installing Truckmate using the Windscreen Suction Cup bracket
You can mount Truckmate 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 Truckmate onto the bracket, by

inserting the bottom of the S7000 first
and finally clipping the top of the bracket
into the slot on the back of the unit.
To remove Truckmate simply unclip the unit,
by pushing the top of the bracket and taking
the unit from the holder.
Truckmate 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 power
socket on the side of Truckmate and plug
the larger plug into the cigarette
lighter socket of your vehicle.
Please Note: Only use the cigarette lighter power cable provided with Truckmate.
Truckmate operates on 9V 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 first 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 back

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.
Press the‘Navi’icon on the menu screen. Whilst Truckmate 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.
Truckmate needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this

has been achieved Truckmate 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. Truckmate is now ready to navigate.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first ‘Cold’ start
could take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes to establish a satellite connection. Once
initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only
a matter of minutes.
2. Easy Set Up
