Introducon
Thank you for purchasing the TMG A-15, one of the most innovave and
sophiscated devices in its category today.
Please be sure to read this manual to familiarize yourself with the features and
operaon of this product. Enjoy the trip and drive safely.
TMG system is a class 1M laser product. Never look at the heads
closely while powered on! We recommend wearing Laser protected
eye wear, when tesng the jamming funcon with Laser guns.
Motorists are expected to exercise all cauon while using this
product, and to obey all applicable trac laws.
Check your State and local laws on usage. We encourage you to disable your
jamming funcon as soon as possible once you slow down. This can be done by the
RCV buon, front power buon, or the RCV tab on the app. Running in the “test
mode” is meant for laser jamming tesng only, and is in full me jamming mode,
and could result in suspicion that a LIDAR operator has been jammed. Auto-sleep
mode is default, and highly recommended with an Auto-kill feature to “Receive only
mode” aer 4 seconds.
CPU only takes 12V power sources; A 24V power source will damage
the product permanently, and will void your 2 year warranty.

Tool Requirements
•T-10 torque bit or allen wrench
• Cordless screw driver- mount the brackets
• Small screws- to mount the brackets
• Velcro or 3m tape to mount the CPU
•Tape measure- measure out the head seperaon
• Electrical tape - wrap up the head connectors and the wire to
feed through the rewall.
•Metal wire to feed the wires through the rewall. (Oponal)

CHAPTER 1: Installaon
Make sure the heads are posioned approximately the same height as the
license plate and separated by at least 24 to 30 inches from each other. Being
too close together can cause interference.
Use the included green bubble level tool to make sure the heads are
horizontally posioned, and are facing straight forward, and ensure all torque
screws are ght.
When using a third head, install the head in the center of both heads,
below the car’s emblem or directly above the license plate.
The CPU computer has a capability of having 8 heads total
with an oponal splier.
Make sure
transponders
are facing
straight forward.
Make sure the heads are
horizontally installed by using
the bubble level included in
the package.
Changing the Lens cover
Aer a year of use on the road, replace
the old lens cover with a new one. Use
a pin to pry open the old lens cover to
replace it.
Cables
Arrows on cable align for
proper t.
Oponal third head for maximum protecon.
BMW owners have the opon to install the heads vercally. However a third
horizontal head is required so you have two vercal outside heads and one center
horizontal head.

CHAPTER 2: Operaon
Adjusng Volume
Press the + and - side buons to adjust the volume. Press for 1 second to reach the
maximum or minimum volume level. (15 is the maximum).
Receive only Mode
Press the RCV buon to switch to receive only mode. This mode only receives Laser,
and does not jam. Pressing the RCV buon again will enable Auto sleep mode.
Auto/Quiet
Pressing one second enables Auto sleep mode, this stops jamming funcon aer
4 seconds. Auto sleep mode will take 1 minute to relay back to 4 second jamming
from RCV only mode. Use cauon for 1 minute because laser alerts will be muted
unl the CPU announces “Auto sleep mode o”. Press the SLP/RPT buon for 1
second to report police to the server. ”Test mode” is recommended only for tesng
the jamming capability.
The RDT port is for radar detector integraon, or other accessories. The side PWR
port can be used to power the unit with a 12v barrel connector 1.3 mm.
App operaon
1. Start the Laser defender App. Don’t set up BT connecon through the phone or
tablet operaon system. Press Start/On the buon on the app. (α-15 CPU needs
to be powered on and nearby for connecon).
2. Choose MAC address starng with “1E:03” for Android system, and “1E:04” for
iOS. Password is “1234” or “0000” It should take 15 seconds for seng up.
3. Now you can hide the app, and only keep the pop-up. It automacally
disconnects or re-connects to the α-15 CPU when you switch the α-15 CPU o or
on. To bring the interface back, press the pop-up.
4. CPU automacally reports to the server when it receives laser signals. If you keep
the interface on, you can manually report a few dierent types of spots. If you
manually report from the CPU (by long pressing SLP/RPT buon), it’s police spot.
Any report will be kept on the server for 3 hours.
5. Map view and instrucons are on the upper right corner.
Algorithm update (Must have Internet access)
1. Make sure your App is connected with the Bluetooth, otherwise go through step
1 and 2 in previous paragraph.
2. Press the UDT buon on the CPU (An audio voice will say “Algorithm update/
Open app and choose new algorithm and enable Bluetooth”).
3. Press the UDT buon tab on the App. (You may hear an audio voice, that says
“Start Transferring”).
4. Follow the instrucon on the screen.
5. Choose the newest algorithm version to download and choose to start
transferring.
6. When the le is nished, an audio voice will say “Update nished or aborted/
returning to defender mode”.
