Radar Detector Genevo PRO
Congratulations on your purchase of the world’s most intelligent radar and laser detector Genevo PRO.
Main functions of Genevo PRO
Genevo PRO is the most advanced detector from Genevo family and is designed to protect the driver from speeding fines. Genevo PRO communicates with the driver in English language and its main functions are detection of microwave radars (K / Ka bands), red light cameras and sectional speed cameras (using its own GPS database), MultaRadars CT/CD, and radar Gatso RT3 and RT4, or jamming laser guns. It also provides a quick deactivation of all functionality via removing the magnetic display. Genevo PRO also displays the connectivity status of the GPS antenna and all connected radars and accessories. Disconnected GPS is signaled by flashing GPS icon on the screen and accessories are signaled in the same way by flashing the HWY, A-C, or CTY icon.
Notifications:
Text warning and voice alert appear on Genevo PRO during radar alert. The strength of the signal and beeps expresses the intensity of the received signal. Signal strength has ten levels. GPS alerts are reported by voice. For example “Speed Camera”. Accessories alerts are reported by voice: „Laser”.
Control:
-
First button MENU / ON-OFF
Short press: You will enter into the setup menu. During the signaling radar, you will mute the volume. The next alarm will be reported again in the standard volume. Long press: Turn ON / OFF Genevo PRO. During radar signaling, you enter the menu via long press -
Second button BRIGHTNESS / ALERT SUPPRESSION
Short press: You can change the brightness of the display – Bright -> Dim -> Smart Dark -> Full Dark. Long Press: If you hold it during an alert you will mark the place of false radar reporting so at a given point detector during the next passage will be suppressed. If you suppress a false alert, the detector will not detect radars. Hold button during the “suppressed” radar alert and this listing will be canceled. After the next passage radar alert will be signaled acoustically. -

will detect alerts like in City mode). ⋀⋁ button on the detector changes
the specific speed. When the detector is set up to “20 50″speed below 20 km/h
on the radar will not respond. In the velocity range, 20-50 km/h will only
respond to stronger radar signals. Maximum detector sensitivity on the radar
starts from 50 km/h.
Setting values City and auto City sensitivity (entry is present only if the
detector sensitivity is set to other than Highway): Via the second
button you can select radar band for editing. To change the signal level
which will respond to radar signals use ⋀⋁ . The level of suppression can
be selected in the range 0-9. For example, when setting is X2 K2 and Ka2 the
level of detection in all bands is slightly decreased.

Instalation manual Genevo PRO
Control unit connection scheme
A Genevo PRO CONTROL UNIT
The Control Unit is usually placed in a fuse box, space above pedals, using
stripping tape to wires in your car, or using double-sided duck tape.
Connecting individual components is obvious thanks to writing on the control
box. All can be easily done thanks to plug-in connectors. When connecting
individual accessories please mind the plug you are trying to connect the
cables into, as they must be connected to a correct plug, in case it isn’t so
the GENEVO PRO might not work properly or be permanently damaged. Also, be
mindful of placing the control unit so that the speaker on top of it is placed
facing in free space.
B DISPLAY
The display is usually placed in the vehicle cabin on your consideration using
double-sided sticky tapes, or magnetic tape. We recommend placing the display
in an easily accessible area.
C GPS ANTENNA
Place the GPS antenna using double-sided duck tape to a place where the
antenna can see the sky. Ideally on the dashboard of your car. If you are
placing it under the dashboard, make sure that the antenna is not covered by
any metal objects. you can check the antenna’s functionality on the display.
If the GPS icon glows constantly, it means it works as intended, in case it’s
blinking it means that it can not find a GPS signal. The first time it can take
1-5 minutes for the GPS to connect.
D SPEAKER
Signaling speaker should be placed somewhere in the leg-space of the driver,
or passenger. You need to pace it so that when the speaker goes off you can
clearly hear the alerts.
E RADAR ANTENNA HD+ / HDM+
The antenna captures signals emitted by radars; the choice of the installation
place is, therefore, crucial to its proper functioning and good sensitivity of
the detector. The antenna is mounted to the front of the car, usually into its
plastic bumper or behind the front grille in front of the vehicle radiator. It
must be installed in the place from where the front part has a good view of
the road ahead. It is ideal to locate the antenna into the bumper vent, 30-50
cm above the ground. If you choose to mount the antenna so that the bumper
covers its front part, check the material from which the bumper is made and
whether it contains a metal reinforcement. Some types of plastic can weaken
radar waves and reduce the efficiency of the detector. Never mount the antenna
behind metal parts of the vehicle! When installing the antenna, you can use
self-tapping screws in places where the nut can be attached from the other
side, as well as classic nut bolts.After selecting a suitable location for the
antenna and the type of screws, drill two to four screw holes. It is
recommended that the antenna be attached with 4 screws. The antenna cable can
be slightly bent. Firstly, attach the antenna with two screws crosswise
against each other and tighten them partly; then mount the remaining two
screws. In some vehicles, it is advisable to carry out the installation using
a special support plate that is included in the sales package. It has the
shape of the letter “L” and is made of thick steel plate with pre-drilled
holes. Firstly, screw the support plate to the appropriate place, and then
attach the antenna to the plate.
F LASER SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT
Control unit is installed in the interior of the vehicle, either under the
dashboard or under the padding, however, you see fit. The only important thing
is that the control unit must not get into contact with water. Connect the
control unit power cord to the control unit using the dedicated pins.
NOTE: 1A fuse is placed inside the control box. If you require an extra
fuse it can be installed on the cables (not necessary). After the laser system
control unit is connected to the Genevo PRO hub, connect the sensors into one
of the „S” slots. In case you use multiple sensors connect all of them
regardless of the order.
G LASER SENSORS
Laser sensors can be mounted on the front of the vehicle in the front grill,
above the bumper, or in the rear of the vehicle. Be extra careful to not
damage the cable, sensor, or connector during installation, as it will
terminate your warranty. To ensure better looks of your vehicle we recommend
using plexiglass „Perspex” to hide the sensors. For more information about the
glass please contact your distributor.
To drive the cables to the fuse box, please use the original cable pass. In
case there is not enough space there you will need to drill an extra hole for
the connector and the cable. Please be extra careful again to not damage
cables or other car installation. After you finish the cable installation, you
should seal the gap using silicon or other fillings to prevent water and
humidity from entering the vehicle. Check the cable if it’s long enough to
reach the desired destination. When you have connected together with a cable
from the sensor (1m long) with the control box cable (4m long) make sure to
use waterproofing duck tape. You can use hot air or a lighter to make the seal
even tighter. Place the sensors so that they have a clear view to the front or
the rear using the included holders and double-sided duck tape. If necessary,
you can bend the holder into the required position. Make sure that the sensor
is held firmly and can withstand vibrations caused by cruising and is still in
horizontal front/rear-facing position.
To ensure proper functionality of all assets of the Genevo PRO detector,
we recommend having the device installed in the authorized garage.
To arrange the installation, please contact your dealer.
