KIYO GPS M1 USER’S GUIDE

1. PURPOSE OF THE GPS DETECTOR DEVICE
The purpose of the device is to ensure the safe driving conditions, by warning the
motorcyclist to fixed speed cameras, Section Controls, Red Light Cameras and other
risks. To do so, the detector uses a free and updatable GPS database.
2. OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
After igniting the engine, the device powers on and starts connecting to the GPS
satellites. This searching is indicated by a flashing LED light. After successfully connecting to the satellites, the flashing light ceases and the continuous LED light
indicates that the device is ready for use.
The LED strip of the device lights up only when the motorcycle approaches a speed
trap. If the speed of the motorcycle is below the maximum allowed speed limit,
the LED strip lights up with a continuous pale light, but when the motorcyclist is
speeding, the LED strip indicates the danger with a strong, flashing light.
The database and the software version of the device can be updated with the help
of a pendrive connected to the USB port.
The brightness of the LED strip changes according to the current GPS time and the
sunrise-sunset timetable, which means that by day, the brightness is set to maximum, while at night it is set to pale light to avoid dazzling.

User’s Guide
b) Finding the location of the Central Unit
The Central Unit must be installed to a place where the it is safe from water; the
area of the battery beneath the seat is usually a suitable location. To avoid any water
damage, it is recommended to place the device into a waterproof packet, which
will protect it from splashing water and dust. To protect the USB socket when not
using it, place the USB dust cap into it.
c) Finding the location of the LED strip and the status indicator
The bottom side of the LED strip is adhesive, therefore you can mount it to any
surface on your dashboard. Make sure that the device is placed where you can
notice its warnings while driving and that you can safely lead the wiring from that
location all the way to the central unit. After this, find a suitable location for the
status indicator LED, where you can see it while driving.

Lead the LED wiring all the way to the central unit and fasten it in a way that it would
not move or loose. Make sure that the wiring does not restrict the movement of
the steering, your arms or any part of the motorcycle.
Connect the wiring to the central unit of the device. Clean the surface of the location where you wish to place the LED strip, then remove the protector foil of the
adhesive and mount the device to the selected spot. The next step is to drill a hole
for the status indicator and mount the device.
d) Finding the location of the GPS receiver
For the best efficiency, make sure that the GPS receiver has a clear view to the sky.
Metallic surfaces might interfere with the connection between the GPS receiver
and the satellites, therefore make sure that no such parts are above the antenna.
Lead the wiring of the receiver all the way to the central unit and fasten it in a way
that it would not move or loose. Make sure that the wiring does not restrict the
movement of the steering, your arms or any part of the motorcycle. After it, connect
the cable of the GPS receiver to the central unit.
e) Installing the GPS detector
Connect the black cable of the central unit to the battery’s negative terminal or to
chassis. After this, connect the red cable to a point where a +12V voltage is present
following the ignition. The device includes a fuse that will cut off the current in case
of a malfunction or a short wire, but will automatically turn back on 30 minutes after
the malfunction ceases. Therefore, there is no need for additional fuses attached
to the red cable

4. USE OF THE GPS DETECTOR
a) Turning the detector on
After igniting the engine, the device powers on and starts connecting to the GPS
satellites. This searching is indicated by a flashing LED light. After successfully connecting to the satellites, the flashing light ceases and the continuous LED light
indicates that the device is ready for use.
The time for finding the GPS signals for the first time may vary depending on weather conditions, like the humidity of the air and the temperature. In cities, signals
reflected from certain objects may also extend the searching time. Upon driving in
tunnels or near tall buildings, the device may lose the connection with the satellites
and the status indicator may start flashing. Once it is reconnected, the LED strip will
flash up and the status indicator will light up continuously.
Warning! Without GPS connection, the device cannot indicate the locations of
speed traps, section controls, red light cameras and other dangerous zones.
b) Turning the device off
After the ignition ceases, the device will turn off.

c) Signals of the LED status indicator
Continuous green signal:
The device is connected to the GPS satellites and it is ready for use.
Flashing green signal:
The device is connecting to the GPS satellites and it is NOT ready for use.
No signal:
In this case, the device is not powered. Ignite the engine and check the wiring!
The device includes a fuse that will cut off the current in case of a malfunction or a
short wire. If the wiring is correct but the status indicator does not show any sign
30 minutes after the ignition, please contact our customer service.
d) Signals of the LED strip
Short flash:
The device just connected to the GPS satellites.
Continuous light blue signal:
You are in a 500 meters vicinity of a dangerous zone and closing on the speed trap,
but your speed is below the maximum allowed speed. Pay attention to your speed!
Strong, flashing blue signal:
You are in a 500 meters vicinity of a dangerous zone, closing on the speed trap and
your speed is above the maximum allowed speed. Slow down!

5. UPDATING THE GPS DETECTOR
The device contains a complete Europe database, which can be updated without
additional costs. However, the software is not updated automatically because the
device does not have internet connection, therefore, you have to check for available
updates and install them.
a) Registering the GPS Detector
Always make sure that your device is using the latest updates! This is the only way
to ensure that the device warns you to all of the possible dangers.
It is not necessary for you to check our website every week, instead, when a new
software version is available or a new speed trap location is added to the database,
we notify you via e-mail or telephone and help you with the update.
For this, all you have to do is registering your KIYO device.
You can register the device on the following website:
kiyotechnology.hu/regisztracio
b) Downloading the latest updates
For any information regarding the update, please visit the website of the manufacturer:
