GPS-ONLY VERSION
Many countries within the E.U. 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 its products to car drivers throughout the so called “common
market’ of the E.U., Stinger has chosen to supply the Card in a GPS-ONLY VERSION.
Functionalities such as Radar Alerting and Laser Alerting are not available on this
version. When connecting a Stinger Card this version can be easily recognized by the
brightly lit text “GPS-ONLY VERSION” at the bottom left corner of the Card.
Please remember it is your responsibility to know and abide by the law. Therefore,
always thoroughly check local legislation before rst using your Stinger Card. If you
have a GPS-ONLY VERSION of the 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 the Card) and the + key for longer than 3
seconds. After you have heard the “wiping” sound as a conrmation, the erased functionalities have been permanently deleted. The
Card will only be capable of the standard GPS-ONLY VERSION functionalities. A new software download and installation (available
where allowed) needs to be performed 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 trafc.
