A message appears when your batteries are low. Check your batteries’ life in the welcome
page before beginning a race or session.
Memory
Also think of checking the available memory with the memory space in the welcome page or
the time remaining in the setup menu --- > REC. not to saturate the memory when you run.
You can record a maximum of 99 sessions by track.
You can record a maximum of 327 sessions on all the tracks.
You can record a maximum of 99 laps by closed track session, if you run more laps, a new
session will start automatically.
The maximum time is 1 hour by lap.
GPS
GPS Signal
On switching on your M4GPS, it will wait for the GPS signal. The waiting time and the
reception depends on several parameters:
The environment in which the M4GPS is (high rise, forest, clear sky, etc…)
The Cold Start or Warm Start : the M4GPS receives the signal faster when it is regularly used,
indeed, the more the GPS remains faded for a long time, the longer the waiting time before
getting the signal will be next time you start it. This waiting time can thus vary from a few
seconds to several minutes.
Numberof Satellites
The GPS gets its real position from 3 satellites. The maximal number of satellites which we
can get is 12 (it is possible only at certain hours of the day because satellites are constantly
in movement). More satellites mean better precision with the GPS positioning, and
therefore more precise timing. We recommend 8 satellites at least, the precision of time
cannot be guaranteed with any less.
Date & hour
As indicated in the menu Setup, the satellite gives us the hour and the date GMT, that is why
it is necessary to adjust the time zone accordingly in the menu Setup >Set upHour/Date.
