SpeedAlert
The SC55’s Speed Alert feature provides a
visual indication of your vehicle speed
during the first few seconds of an alert.
This allows you to instantly check your
speed without looking at your
speedometer.
NOTE: When traveling 15 mph or
less, your speed will not be displayed.
Clearing The Database
At some point you may want to clear all of
the data in the SC55’s database. This
includes all markers and camera locations.
In order to do this, simply press and hold
the “V/M”, “CRU” and “MRK” buttons
while powering the locator on. An “Erase”
message will appear on the screen. To
confirm, press the “PWR” button.
SmartCord
The SC55’s power jack uses a telephone-
type connector and is marked “Power”.
This 4- conductor connector only works
with the coiled SmartCord (included) or
the optional Direct-wire SmartCord.
The coiled SmartCord is a special
power cord that has a power-on indicator
(which only lights up when the SC55 is
turned on), a bright alert light that warns
of radar or laser, and a convenient mute
button right on the plug. It’s perfect for any
car where reaching the SC55’s mute button
on the windshield is a stretch.
For discreet night driving, put the
SC55 in Dark mode and use the SmartCord
for your visual alerts.
NOTE: If you are operating the
SC55 in Dark mode, the display on the
SC55 will not light when an alert is
given—only the audio and the flashing
alert lamp on the SmartCord. The
detector’s display is not affected by the
brightness setting on the SC55.
An optional Direct-wire SmartCord is
also available. This version includes a small
display module which can be wired
directly into your electrical system, with a
10 foot straight cord to route to your SC55.

Controls and Features
Mark Location (MRK Button)
The “MRK” button allows you to mark a
specific location and label it for future
reference. Once marked, the SC55 will
provide an alert with an arrow indicating
the direction of the location when you
reach this area again. This can be
extremely useful when there are known
speed traps or camera locations that you
would like to remember.
To mark a particular location, press
the “MRK” button located on the SC55’s
top case. The display will read: “Mark?”
Press the “MRK button again to assign a
label to it. There are four (4) labels: Red
Light, Speed Camera, Speed Trap and
Other.
To scroll through the labels, simply
press the volume “V/M” button until you
reach the desired label. Once you’ve
selected the label, press the “MRK” button
again to confirm.
Once marked and assigned a label, the
SC55 provides the following alert
distances for each type of label:
Red Light Cameras = 250 feet or
10 seconds
Speed Cameras = 250 feet or
10 seconds
Speed Traps = .5 mile below 55 mph or
1 mile above 55 mph
Other = .5 mile below 55 mph or 1 mile
above 55 mph
NOTE: When a location is marked
the first time, you must travel at least
one mile away from that location to
receive an alert.
To unmark a location, simply press
the “MRK” button when you are receiving
a “marked location” alert. The display will
read “Unmark?” Press the “MRK” again to
confirm. The display will read:
“Unmarked.”
