Troubleshooting the iG9 Receiver
1.
Receiver won’t turn on:
Batteries are fully discharged: Charge batteries or use external power.
Contacts on battery are dirty: Clean battery and receiver contacts with a soft cloth or soft eraser.
Battery is bad: Try another battery.
2. Is the receiver tracking satellites?
The BLUE LED flashes once for each SV (satellite vehicle) that is currently tracked.
If you are indoors, the LED will flash once every 5-seconds. However,
no SV’s will be tracked.
The receiver should begin tracking within 30-seconds after a warm start. After a cold start (off for
more than 1 week) it may take 90-seconds for the receiver to begin tracking.
If the receiver will not track satellites outside after waiting 5-minutes do an OEM engine reset using
one of the methods outlined in “
5. The r
eceiver won’t mount as a Disk Drive.
Before plugging GPS cable into your PC, did you wait for the power LED to blink 3 times?
Unplug, wait 15-seconds, try again
Try another USB port, try another USB cable
Use an external USB Hub (this fixes intermittent disk mounts.)
Try other computers.
Try turning off your PC, wait a minute and then turn on again. Reinsert the USB cable.
