User manual
Introduction
Congratulations on buying the Snooper Portable Navigator and Fixed Speed Camera location system.
This PND (Portable Navigation Device) utilises the very latest Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology to provide you with accurate street level navigation via clear and precise voice prompts as well as alerting you to potentially hazardous stretches of road, accident black spots and fixed speed safety cameras.
The most accurate digital mapping available is provided by
whilst the geographical coordinates of all ‘fixed’ speed monitoring systems and many officially designated accident ‘hotspots’ have been stored on a database provided by AUrA™. The AUrA™
Database is the most comprehensive available, providing cover, not only in the UK and ireland, but throughout europe too. This database is constantly monitored and updated by the AUrA™ data collection team, ensuring that you are alerted to every potentially hazardous stretch of road and all fixed speed safety cameras.
This PND comes with an SD Card that contains the navigation software. The SD Card is pre-installed in the SD slot on the left hand side of the unit. When necessary, upgrades to this mapping data will be made available for you. Mapping updates may be chargeable, please visit www.snooperneo.co.uk for further details.
As the AUrA™ camera database changes daily, regular updates to your device are required. Snooper connects quickly and easily to your PC so that you can download the database in a matter of minutes (internet connection required). Please note: in order for the software to be installed successfully, there are certain minimum hardware and software requirements needed; see the section
‘System requirements & Downloading’ later in this manual.
Once the database has been downloaded your Snooper compares your position using its built-in GPS antenna, with the position of every known ‘fixed’ speed monitoring system and accident ‘hotspot’ alerting you both audibly and visually with voice alerts and full colour graphics on the units LCD screen ensuring your highest concentration at all times.
Please note that AURA™ updates are subject to a subscription charge. Please refer to the subscription and download section of this manual for further details or visit www.snooperneo.co.uk.

1. Starting Up
First make sure your vehicle is parked in as open a space as possible, clear of tall trees and buildings so that the built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above. Next switch ON the unit by pressing and holding the standby power switch on the top of the unit for 2 seconds.
The following warning will be displayed.
Please do not operate the controls of Snooper whilst driving. Doing so could endanger yourself, your passengers and other road users. Snooper has been designed to provide safe and efficient routing but is not a substitute for driving with due care and attention. The driver is responsible for paying full attention to road signs, road conditions and the operation of the vehicle at all times.
Please read the warning ‘and select the relevant vehicle type (where applicable).
Press “I Agree” to continue.
Whilst Snooper software is loading, a start-up display will be shown for just a few seconds and then the screen will show a section of a map. Note: the factory default location is ‘Toft road’.
Snooper needs to acquire a minimum of four satellites in order to work. Once this has been achieved Snooper will ascertain your position and this will be indicated by a green arrow icon on the on-screen map and the GPS signal strength will be shown in the bottom right hand corner of the display. Snooper is now ready to navigate.
As the GPS engine and antenna have never been used before, the first Cold’ start can take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes to establish a satellite connection. Once initialised, subsequent start ups will take less time and eventually should take only a matter of minutes.

Environmental settings or Low Emission Zones (LEZ)
Low emission Zones (LeZs) are areas or roads where the most polluting vehicles are restricted from entering. This means that vehicles are banned, or in some cases charged, if they enter the LeZ when their emissions are over a set level.
Vehicle emissions are classified by euro Standards (1-6) for the vehicles that they affect. in many cases another factor is whether or not the vehicle has a particulate filter or catalytic converter. Before you travel into a LeZ, you need to find out the emissions standard of your vehicle.
All LeZs affect heavy duty goods vehicles (usually over 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)), and most buses and coaches (usually defined as over 5 tonnes GVW). Some LeZs also affect vans, cars and motorcycles.
Most LeZs operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with some of the italian LeZs currently the only exceptions to this rule. To enter your environmental setting press on the arrow once in the environmental setting page press the arrow again to return to the vehicles setting page.

Environmental settings or Low Emission Zones (LEZ)
Low emission Zones (LeZs) are areas or roads where the most polluting vehicles are restricted from entering. This means that vehicles are banned, or in some cases charged, if they enter the LeZ when their emissions are over a set level.
Vehicle emissions are classified by euro Standards (1-6) for the vehicles that they affect. in many cases another factor is whether or not the vehicle has a particulate filter or catalytic converter. Before you travel into a LeZ, you need to find out the emissions standard of your vehicle.
All LeZs affect heavy duty goods vehicles (usually over 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)), and most buses and coaches (usually defined as over 5 tonnes GVW). Some LeZs also affect vans, cars and motorcycles.
Most LeZs operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with some of the italian LeZs currently the only exceptions to this rule. To enter your environmental setting press on the arrow once in the environmental setting page press the arrow again to return to the vehicles setting page.

10.4 Pairing the sensors
There are two options available for pairing sensors to the application : input sensor iD or radio Frequency (rF)
10.4.1 Pairing the sensors by Sensor ID
This is the simplest method as the sensor can be paired before they are fitted to the vehicle each sensor has a unique alpha numeric code embossed on to the sensors cover, this is this the sensor iD.
1. Open TPMS menu
2. Change vehicle type (as described in section 10.3)
3. Press configure (1)
4. Press ‘Pairing’
5. Select which wheel from the image you want to program the sensor for, by pressing the image (2) six zeros should appear, which indicates a sensor has NOT been programmed to that particular wheel. if any number of letters appear than that wheel already has a sensor allocated to it.
6. Press ‘input sensor iD’ (3)
7 Using the keypad type in the sensor iD and press the return key (4) to enter.
8. To access the trailer or spare wheel press the arrow (5)
9. repeat steps 6 & 7 for each subsequent wheel
10. Once all of the sensors are programmed press the exit button (6) THree times to fully exit TMPS

When the TPMS application is reopened you will see the tyre pressure readings (pressures shown here are for illustration purposes only)
To delete or edit a sensor just follow steps 1-6 then, to edit, overwrite the sensor iD with the replacement sensor iD . To delete a sensor over type the sensor iD with six zeros (this will also remove a ‘wheel’ from the image)
Press return on the keypad to save.
The same principle applies for programming sensors to trailer/caravan and/ or the spare wheel.
Refer to section 10.4.3 for details on how to install the sensors to the wheel valves.
10.4.2 Pairing the sensor by radio frequency (RF)
This method for pairing the sensor by rF is similar to the one described in section 10.4.1 with one exception, the sensor must be installed on to the tyre valve before they can be paired. in order to correctly program each sensor with the correct wheel we recommend that each sensor is fitted and THeN programmed
BeFOre installing the next sensor. The sensors will only transmit when they are fitted to the tyre valve and can they ‘sense’ air pressure from the tyre.
Refer to section 10.4.3 for details on how to install the sensors to the wheel valves.
6 series V110.14 EN

2. A pop up window will appear in the TPMS display and the button on the Bluetooth interface will flash red and the interface will ‘beep’ The interface will now search for a period of 90 seconds for a sensor which is transmitting a code. Once the code has been received, it will replace the six zeros and the interface will beep.
3. Press the return button (1) to save or the exit button (2) to cancel
4. repeat steps 1 & 2 for each subsequent wheel

10.4.5 Bluetooth Interface Installation
The Bluetooth interface should be mounted within 16 feet (5 meters) of the 6 series. it should be mounted securely with the screws provided. We would recommend that the unit is accessible for programming purposes.
The Bluetooth interface should have 12V/24v DC power when the vehicle is moving. The red cable is positive and the black wire is negative.
10.4.6 Repeater/Signal Booster Installation
recreational Vehicles, Tow Vehicles, Trailers and Tractor Trailer *
* (if you have a Tractor Trailer that does drop and pulls of multiple trailers you need to use the STP6 section because it requires a link function)
The repeater/Booster is designed to amplify the signal from your TPMS system sensors. in situations where length or interference prevents your monitor from receiving a signal, the repeater/Booster increases the sensors transmitting distance.
This should not be needed to monitor distances of 53 feet or less. However, some vehicles experience difficulties due to the amount of electronic components in the engine compartment as well as where sensors are shielded by bodywork etc. causing sensor signal strength to be reduced and where extremely cold temperatures may reduce sensor battery power.
The optional signal repeater/Booster can be ordered separately and is available at www.snooper.co.uk
The booster should be installed as low as possible on the rear of the towing vehicle or at the front of the trailed vehicle.
The hard wired booster should have 12V/24v DCC power when the vehicle is moving.
The red cable is positive and the black wire is negative.

10.5 Settings
Selecting your high pressure and low pressure limits
Follow these instructions to select at which high or low pressure limits you would like your Snooper Tyre Pilot to alert.
1. Next to each axle write down what your tyre pressure is by axle and calculate what your alarm setting will be.
(you may need to consult the vehicles user guide for this information)
2. High Pressure setting will be (20% above axle tyre pressure).
3. Low Pressure setting will be (10% below axle tyre pressure).
Example: Front Axle Tyre Pressure is: 100 psi
High Pressure Alarm Setting will be: 120 psi (100 psi x 1.20 (or 20%) = 120
Low Pressure Alarm Setting will be: 90 psi (100 psi x .9 (or 90%) = 90
These are industry standards for the initial set-up, some adjustment may be needed after your first journ y . Every brand of tyre operates different y, when some brands reach operating temperature the psi will increase 5 psi, other brands may increase
20 - 22 psi.
During your first journey you will see if you need to increase your High Pressure Alarm setting. For the temperature it is recommended leaving it at the factory default of 158 degree F (70 degree C).
1. in the navigation configure menu press TPMS
2. in the TPMS menu press ‘Configure’ ( For more detailed instructions on how to find ‘configure’ refer to section 10.3)
3. Press ‘Settings’ and this screen will be displayed
2
4. Adjust the upper and lower values of each axle by using the left and right arrows values as appropriate. ignore any axles not used.
5. Once you have adjusted the upper and lower pressures for each axle, press the exit (2) to save and exit the screen. ensure the upper pressure value is higher than the lower pressure value and do not set the upper value higher than the upper value of the sensors you are fitting. Up to 116 PSi or 188 PSi depending on the package purchased.
To reset the value back to factory default press ‘Reset’
For the temperature it is recommended leaving it at the factory default of 158 degree F (70 degree C) .
Purchasers of this product should not solely rely on this tyre pressure monitoring system for safety and should check the condition and pressure of their vehicles tyres on a regular basis as described by the manufacturer of the vehicle or tyre manufacturer. Please note, Snooper Tyre Pilot System operates on an RF system, as with many RF tyre systems this system can occasionally suffer from in erference depending on the systems location; thus causing the system to be inaccurate or not operate at all. Tyre pressures and temperatures are not the only things that can aff ct tyre safety; we suggest daily visual inspections and periodic checks of the vehicle tyres.

Snooper serial number, PC operating system, error codes and any other relevant information. One of our technicians will reply as soon as possible.
Alternatively you can contact our Technical Helpline on 0333 240 1000 and select Option 3.
This troubleshooting guide is in two sections; Section A is in the form of a checklist that will assist you with resolving common download problems. Section B consists of a few possible reasons and possible solutions to error messages that may be displayed by the operating system or the software whilst you are trying to perform a download.
SECTION A
1. Have you registered the Snooper unit?
You will not be able to download the AUrA™ database or map update unless Snooper is registered. if the unit has not been registered, a message will appear on the software informing you that the device is not enabled. Please register online at www.
snooperneo.co.uk.
2. What operating system are you using on your computer?
Snooper software will only work on the following Windows operating systems:
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
The software will not work on Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Millennium, Windows 2000 and Windows XP; Apple Macintosh operating systems are not supported. Windows XP (64bit) systems is not supported.
To determine which operating system you have on your computer: right click on the ‘Computer’ icon on your desktop and select ‘Properties’ from the drop down menu.

The ‘System Properties’ window will then be displayed as outlined in ‘b’ above.

SECTION B
This section is for supplying possible reasons and solutions to problems you may be experiencing whilst trying to down load the data to Snooper. if after completing all the checks in Section A and you are still experiencing difficulty or have received an error message please read through the following:
1. ERROR MESSAGE – ‘The device has not been enabled yet.’
Please refer to Step 1 in section A for further details.
2. ERROR MESSAGE - ‘Error 521: There was a problem connecting to the Performance Products server…’ if you get an error message as described above this normally means that there is something blocking communication between the software, most typically a firewall, and the AUrA™ server. Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 are supplied with a built in ‘internet
Connection Firewall’. Depending upon which firewall software you have you will need to access the firewall settings and allow access for the Snooper software. if you do have a Firewall on your computer the Snooper Updater software may appear to stop and it is at this point that your Firewall software will inform you that Snooper Updater software is trying to access the internet. Please make sure that you grant/allow/permit access through the Firewall.
Please read the messages supplied by your Firewall software carefully before choosing your option. If you do not allow the program access to the internet through the Firewall, the download process will fail.
if no message was prompted by the firewall software uninstall and then re-install the software and perform a download again.
