BASIC E.U. VERSION
Many countries within the E.U., and elsewhere, have their own, unique regulations when
it comes to drivers being alerted for or protected from speed traps. Depending on the
country, citizens may or may not have the freedom to receive information concerning
speed traps and to be alerted accordingly. In some countries radar can be freely picked up,
in others it’s made illegal. The freedom to pick up the information from laser guns, also
differs on a per country basis.
In order to offer our products to car drivers throughout the so called ‘common market’ of
the E.U. and elsewhere, Stinger has chosen to supply Card in some countries in a BASIC
E.U. VERSION. Functionalities such as Radar Alerting and Laser Alerting are not available
on this version. When connecting Stinger Card this version can be easily recognized by
the intermittently flashing SafetySignal LED .
Please remember it is your responsibility to know and abide by the law. Therefore, always
thoroughly check local legislation before first using your Stinger Card. If you have a BASIC
E.U. VERSION of Stinger Card and you are driving in a country where you do have the freedom to use Radar Alerting and/or Laser Alerting,
you can download and install the software appropriate for that country.
Of course you can later delete this (new) functionality with the touch of a button, in order to easily and completely stay in compliance with
local legislation whenever entering a country that does not allow for Radar and/or Laser Alerting. Erasing is achieved by simultaneously
holding both the “golden Stinger S” (underneath the right bottom corner of your Card) and the + key for longer than 3 seconds. After
you have heard the “wiping” sound as a confirmation, the erased functionalities have been permanently deleted. Your Card will only
be capable of the standard BASIC E.U. VERSION functionalities. A new software download and installation (available where allowed) is
required in order to change the version of your Card (see page 16).
Note: Under no circumstance does your Stinger constitute a license to exceed the posted speed limits. Alerts from your Stinger serve as
an effective reminder to mind your speed. Always drive responsibly and pay full attention to traffic.
The golden Stinger S is located below this
corner on the flipside of the Card.
Simultaneously holding both this S and the + key for
longer than 3 seconds will turn your Card into a BASIC
E.U. VERSION by permanently erasing any additional
functionalities.
