Aspect Question
Answer
Why can’t I view my picture files?
You may be trying to view an image that is not
supported by Photo. Go to the “
Photo
“ section
for a list of supported image formats.
Multimedia mode
Why can’t I play my music files or
view my pictures while navigating?
The device’s multimedia programs—MP3 and
Photo—are not available in navigation mode.
This is for safety reasons so as not to distract the
driver’s attention from the road.
Why is it that sometimes my device
takes longer than 5 minutes to get
a GPS fix?
If the previous GPS fix position was more than
500 km or 12 hours apart from your current
position and time, it will take significantly longer
than the standard TTFF time to get a GPS fix.
This is due to the nature of the GPS algorithm
and rotational velocity between the satellites
and planet Earth, and deemed normal and is
not the fault of your Acer d100 series device.
Navigation mode
How do I acquire a GPS fix within
standard time frame (about 1
minute in general)?
Perform a GPS reset. Go to the “
Resetting the
GPS function
“ section for instructions.
How do I check the OS version of
my device?
•
Perform a soft reset on the device. Go to
the “

series
“ section for instructions. The device’s
OS version appears on the bottom left
corner of the screen.
•
View the device’s OS version and other

How do I restore the system back to
its default factory settings?
Users can perform this task by using the Factory
Reset button on the System Info screen. Go to
the “
Loading the factory default
settings

Does performing a factory reset
means a GPS reset as well?
No. The Factory Reset function mainly reset the
