About the PAWS Enforcement Module

When an Enforcement Module detects a vehicle's PAWS device, it will display the vehicle

information including make, model, color, and license plate, along with the occupancy setting.

If the buzzer switch is on, the EM signals a read with an audible tone. You can hear the tone

directly from the device or through headphones, if connected.

PAWS Enforcement Module Kit The kit includes the following items: • PAWS™ Enforcement Module • Suction cups • Clip • Handlebar clamp You need to provide two (2) AA batteries for operation. Non-rechargeable lithium batteries are recommended for maximum life. Some high capacity alkaline batteries and rechargeable batteries will also be sufficient but have shorter lifetimes. Battery Installation The Enforcement Module battery compartment is on the back of the device.
PAGE 3
Operation The EM emits a radio wave straight out from the back of the unit, so you aim it by holding the unit with the display in view, then turning so that the target car is directly ahead. However, the radio wave is not narrow like a laser beam--it has a definable width that allows it to detect objects away from the direct line of sight as well.

Power On the Enforcement Module Press the POWER switch on the right side of the unit to the ON position. The Enforcement Module display shows this message on power-up: PAWS ENFORCEMENT Ver XX.XX …along with a version number, followed by another message showing the Lock/Read setting (see next section). PAWS ENFORCEMENT Ver XX.XX VEHICLE DATA UNLOCKED Next, the EM displays the LOCK or READ setting, depending on how this switch is set.

Read a Vehicle Get into position for a clear sight of traffic and optimal EM read range. Set Range based on distance to traffic. • Long: Vehicles 100 to 300 feet away • Medium: Vehicles 30 to 100 feet away • Short: Vehicles 30 feet away Make sure the LOCK/READ switch is set to READ. In READ mode, the EM reads PAWS Sidekick devices automatically—you do not have to press any other switches. Watch the EM display. As it reads, the EM displays the vehicle information and number of passengers.
