Snap has been designed and built to be trouble-free but if you experience a problem, try this:

•  Check that all connections are firm and secure .
•  Make sure the vehicle power socket is working, and clean and free of corrosion .
•  Make sure you have connected Snap as described in this User Guide . Verify that Snap is 

fully plugged into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter or power adapter socket . Your vehicle 
may need to be running to provide power to the socket .

If you see this on the screen:

Try this:

Chk Antenna Connection
No Signal Chk Antenna

• Make sure that the vehicle is outdoors with a clear view of the sky .
• Make sure the Magnetic Mount Antenna is mounted outside of the 

vehicle, in one of the locations shown on page 15 .

• Move the antenna away from any obstructed area . For example, if you 

are parked in an underground garage, you should receive a signal after 
leaving the garage .

• Make sure that the antenna cable is firmly and securely plugged into 

Snap . Make sure the cable is not bent or broken .

• If the message persists, most likely the Magnetic Mount Antenna cable 

has been damaged . Replace the antenna .
