TABLE OF CONTENTS

SPRINTSHIELD PROALERT
Sprintshield PROALERT is an automotive car
tablet that manages and alerts you about
Points of Interest (POI) based on your GPS
location. The tablet is primarily intended for
automobile use but can easily be mounted to
a motorbikes or other vehicles.
The Sprintshield PROALERT uses GPS for
location tracking, analyzing available POIs and
displaying the nearest one on the screen. You
can add or remove your own points of interest
into the database.
The Sprintshield PROALERT is one of the
smallest and most advanced car tablet of all
similar POI based warning products, specially
designed for automotive applications, to be
handy and enable discrete mounting in any
car interior.
Sprintshield PROALERT contents:
1. Sprintshield PROALERT car tablet
2. Sprintshield docking station
3. Sprintshield GPS antenna
4. Sprintshield power adapter
Sprintshield PROALERT is mated to docking
station so it can be powered at all times when
the car is running. Thanks to its internal
rechargeable battery it can function
autonomously when detached from the
docking station. The product is to be installed
in a fixed position in the car, when the car is
turned off, the product will switch to standby
and run on the battery.
The Sprintshield PROALERT equipped with 3G,
4G, LTE capability for easy internet software
updates and enabling daily downloads and
updates of the POI database from the internet.
The POI Database includes speed camera
locations, red light cameras and similar points
of interest and will receive regular updates. It is
developed and maintained by professionals for
drivers requiring a high level of accuracy and
reliability.
Location is monitored by an external GPS
antenna supplied with your Sprintshield
PROALERT. External GPS antennas lock faster
and are more precise so you can rely on
prompt and precise notifications.

4G, LTE INTERNET CONNECTIONS
An inbuilt 4G, LTE modem ensures a quality
Internet connection. The Sprintshield
PROALERT also requires a nano-sized
telecom operator SIM-card for its operation
and automatic Silent updates.
The SIM-card socket is located on the back
of the Sprintshield PROALERT under a
protective cover. Unscrew and remove the
cover and insert the SIM-card. Be careful to
properly orient the SIM-card. Put the cover
back and screw up for proper humidity and
dust protection.

DOCKING STATION OVERVIEW
An inbuilt 4G, LTE modem ensures a quality Internet
connection. The Sprintshield PROALERT also requires
a nano-sized telecom operator SIM-card for its
operation and automatic Silent updates.
The docking station performs several
important functions. It connects the
Sprintshield PROALERT to:
- The Power supply: which powers the unit
while the unit is docked and charges the
internal battery at the same time. It has a
1m cable with a USB-A connector. It can
be plugged into a supplied 12 V to 5 V
adapter or to any USB charging socket.
- The external speaker cable: 1m in length
with a 3,5 mm female mono socket at the
end. Can be connected to the external
speaker to the socket.
- The GPS SMA female pigtail 25cm long
cable: connect to the supplied external
GPS antenna.
- LED diode (red, blue) 1,5m long cable.
Warning! The Docking station routes a signal
from the GPS antenna to the Sprintshield
PROALERT. When the Sprintshield PROALERT
is removed from the docking station it will have
difficulty determining its geographic location
and thus alerting functions will be limited.
Use the un-docked battery operation for editing
settings and setup performing.

GPS ANTENNA AND 12 V POWER ADAPTER
An external GPS antenna is supplied with the
Sprintshield PROALERT. The antenna should
be mounted with an unobstructed view of the
sky or under a plastic, glass or other non-metal
vehicle part. The antenna is connected to the
docking station directly and to the Sprintshield
PROALERT via pogo pins.
The Power converter (adapter) that converts
vehicle 12 V power supply to 5 V is also
supplied. Connect the red wire to the positive
switched power supply +12 V and the black
wire to the vehicle chassis/ground or to the
negative power supply.
The Sprintshield PROALERT can also be
powered by a standard USB power charger or
vehicle USB power socket.

POWERING ON BATTERY OPERATION
Power button on Sprintshield PROALERT is
positioned on the upper right side of the
tablet. By pressing the power button for 2
seconds or longer you will turn on the
Sprintshield PROALERT. It will also turn on
automatically when mated to docking
station while car is turned on (when detects
a charging voltage of 5 V on its docking
station).
The built-in li-ion battery allows up to 1
hour of autonomous use when
un-docked, with the screen on. It will last
for 10+ hours with the battery on full
charge while on standby (while the vehicle
is parked and unattended).
