Any questions on your Anti Sleep Pilot?

You should use the Anti Sleep Pilot® every time you drive. Accidents involving people who drive when tired take place on both long and short journeys, in towns and on motorways, by day and at night.

Check to make sure there is a battery in your Anti Sleep Pilot®. Check the battery to make sure it is inserted correctly. If the battery indicator does not start flashing, it is time to replace the battery.

The clock in Anti Sleep Pilot is set at the factory to Central European Time and automatically switches to daylight savings time in the summer. Therefore, you cannot change the time and for that reason you should not use the Anti Sleep Pilot® outside of Europe and Africa.

There may be times when the Anti Sleep Pilot® could distract you as you drive; when you are trying to find a road, driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic, etc.

There are two ways to prevent distraction:
1. Turn the volume right down
2. Remove the Anti Sleep Pilot® from its magnetic base. As long as you put it back on its base within ten minutes, this will not affect calculation of your driving fatigue level.

There is a chance of the Anti Sleep Pilot® thinking you are taking a break if you remain standing in traffic for any length of time. However, this will have no effect on your onwards journey if you remain stationary for less than ten minutes.

You can always adjust your status downwards, except when the Anti Sleep Pilot® has issued its first break recommendation. You cannot set it lower than your risk profile will usually allow on the basis of the journey you have entered.

No, this is not possible. The Anti Sleep Pilot® will assume that you are fully rested unless you adjust your status.

The sound level in the Anti Sleep Pilot® can be adjusted. You should check whether you have turned the volume right down. If you want your Anti Sleep Pilot® to emit sound, you have to turn the volume back up.

The Anti Sleep Pilot® is equipped with touch sensors.The best place to touch is a little to the right of the display, touch the top - ideally with several fingers. If this does not work, you should check whether the battery is flat. The touch sensors will be unable to register your touch if you are wearing gloves ,for example.Take a look at page 19 to see where the touch sensors are.

There may be driving situations in which you are unable to react quickly enough to an alertness test. The Anti Sleep Pilot® will then set another alertness test after two or three minutes. If you react too slowly to four tests in a row, your Anti Sleep Pilot® will recommend a break.

The Anti Sleep Pilot® emits two short, low sounds when you either react too slowly to an alertness test or do not react at all. The Anti Sleep Pilot® will then present you with new alertness tests at shorter intervals. If you react too slowly to four tests in a row, your Anti sleep Pilot® will recommend you take a break.

You have to replace the battery when the battery indicator flashes orange, otherwise your Anti Sleep Pilot® will not behave as described in this manual. When the battery starts to flash orange, a quality battery has 1-4 hours of life left. You should always keep a spare battery in the car.

The Anti Sleep Pilot® will save your driving fatigue level for eight hours without a battery and start from its latest level following replacement of the battery. Therefore, data on you journey will be saved even if you replace the battery.

If you resume driving within a break (i.e. before the recommended ten minutes are up), your Anti Sleep Pilot® will indicate this by emitting a sound. If you choose to continue driving anyway, your driving fatigue level will not be reset and the Anti Sleep Pilot® will not include your break when calculating when the next break is to take place. You will receive a new break recommendation relatively quickly after that. If you want to ignore this recommendation, you have to restart your Anti Sleep Pilot® (see page 46).

Taking a break longer than the recommended ten minutes has no effect on the Anti Sleep Pilot®. When you resume your journey (within eight hours), the Anti Sleep Pilot® will continue monitoring your driving fatigue level based on the previous settings.

You first have to restart your Anti Sleep Pilot® (see page 46).The riskprofile for the new driver should then be set using the orange button at the bottom of the Anti Sleep Pilot®. Finally, the status of the new driver should be calculated and set. The new driver can then begin driving.

You can carefully remove the magnetic base from your dashboard using a flat-head screwdriver, for example.Take care not to damage the surface of your dashboard. If you find any adhesive left from the magnetic base, we recommend that you wash your dashboard with clean water.
