GENERAL FAQS

The modern driver faces many challenges whilst out on the road. At Road Angel, we create products which enable users to be more safety-conscious and aware.

With so many hazards on the road, a Road Angel device can advise you of road speed limits, fixed safety cameras, mobile speed enforcement sites and other dangers to drivers.

A dash cam is an extra level of necessary protection for you, your family, any passengers and your vehicle. A dash cam does not just protect you from simple accidents in car parks and between average road users. ‘Crash for cash’ scams are run by fraudsters who manufacture collisions which cost the UK around £340m a year.

Truvelo and Gatso cameras are the most widely used speed cameras. There are also average speed cameras, known as SPECs, and variable speed cameras (known as HADECs).

Our latest speed camera detectors are OTA device's (Over the Air). This means that these devices have an internal sim card which enables it to update OTA, for you, the customer, this means as soon as we update the information we hold on Camera locations, your device gets this information in real time. Your PURE informs you of school zones, congestions zones and we provide the Road Speed Library, so on roads you are not familiar with, your PURE will know the speed of the road you are on. Using your PURE, you are also able to select the catagory of vehicle you are driving and the PURE will adjust your speed limit information accordingly. Combined with all of those smart features,. we also have a dedicated team of spotters who drive the length and breadth of the UK checking the information we have is correct and current.

We aim to have your device fully tested, repaired and dispatched back to you within 14 working days. Please contact our support team on 0330 320 3030 for more information on our returns and repair service.

The standard warranty for a Road Angel device is 12 months. Extended warranty is available to purchase. Please contact our customer service team on 0330 320 3030 for more information.

However, if you experience problems with GPS reception, please contact our support team on 0330 320 3030 for more information and support.

Searching for satellites can take longer than normal after a firmware update.

1. This is normal behaviour as the ephemeris data (positions of satellites) is reset. This also happens when a Pure is switched off for more than six hours.

2. Please take into account that we don’t make the GPS module, and this issue is common with other GPS devices after an update or being switched off for more than six hours.

3. We have had abnormal weather as seen on the weather forecast due to the jet stream, this effects the GPS signal.

4. If the Pure has been off for 6 hours or more the device can take longer to satellite search, however we have implemented AGPS (Assisted GPS) whereby once the pure is on the mobile network and synced to our servers the ephemeris data is sent to the Pure to speed up the process.

If you are suffering with excessive satellite searching please check you have a clear view of the sky and haven’t recently changed car to one with a heated/solar screen.

When a new firmware update for your Road Angel Pure is available, a message will display on your device informing you of a available update. This message has to be dismissed with a button press. Also the USB icon will be displayed on the screen of your device.

There are a couple of ways to discover this. First, tapping the top left button on your Pure until you see your serial number will also display whether your device is due for a renewal of subscription. You can also find out whether your subscription needs renewal by connecting your Pure to your PC and launching the Updater.

You can do this in one of two ways, either by using your mobile phone or via a PC or Mac. When using a Mobile Phone, download the Road Angel app from your App Store, connect the device to the phone via the WiFi and choose the ‘Read Device’ option – here you can change the settings. To change the settings via the PC, connect the device to the PC and wait for the Updater to launch. When it does, select the ‘Configure’ button in the top right and view the options. If you need help with this, please contact our support team on 0330 320 3030 for more information and support.

The Pure uses an adhesive windscreen mount so isn’t suitable to be moved from one vehicle to another. However, if you require a second Windscreen mount, we may be able to offer you discount on another mount. Please contact our customer services team on 0330 320 3030 for more information.

During a firmware update that includes an Road Speed Library (RSL) the Road Angel Pure might not get optimal power via the USB cable from the computer to. You might find that the battery on the Road Angle Pure has discharged. After the firmware update please charge the Road Angel Pure via the mains and not the computer.

First check that you have the latest firmware and a valid subscription. If your device has a database number lower than that of the website, wait for it to get a SIM signal and update. If your device has a database number higher than that of the website, this means there are several updates that are on going and the website will update accordingly in due course. For all other database version issues please contact the support team directly.
