replace the batteries under normal use.

The GE Parking Alert consists of a sensor module and a display

module. The sensor module transmits harmless ultrasound

pulses that ore reflected by on incoming object. When a vehicle is

detected, more pulses ore transmitted to track the incoming
vehicle speed and distance. The display unit, mounted where the

driver con easily

see

it, uses o bright flashing YELLOW light to

indicate that the vehicle has been detected. When the vehicle

reaches the desired stopping distance, o RED light will illuminate

and stay on.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Batteries con lost up to one year. When it is time to replace the
batteries, a flashing red LED will appear in the display module
(after the solid red LED times out! to worn the user.

Slowing Zone: 1-2 feet (rapidly flashing yellow LED)
Stop Zone: < 1 foot (solid red LED)

2. Stop at 2-Feet

Detection Zone: 5 feet

Slowing Zone: 2-3 feet (rapidly flashing yellow LED)
Stop Zone: < 2 feet (solid red LED)

3.

Stop at 3-Feet

Detection Zone: 5 feet
