Other Problems
The unit cannot be switched on
Check that the cigarette lighter adaptor is well inserted into the cigarette lighter socket and that the cigarette lighter socket is
functioning properly. Check that the lighter socket is clean and free from debris. Also check that the fuse of the cigarette lighter
adaptor is intact.
If you are using the hardwire connection check that you have secured a good earth and that you have taken the 12v feed from a 12v
supply that is live on ignition. Also check that the in-line fuse is intact.
The unit cannot acquire satellite connection
Check that the 4ZERO’s built in GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky above.
If this is the first time you have powered up your 4ZERO Elite BT please remember that the first ‘cold’ start can take up to 10 minutes
to acquire sufficient satellite connection. The unit requires time to calibrate and you will find that with subsequent use that the time
for acquiring satellites will reduce. Eventually the unit should take only a few seconds to acquire satellite connection.
Disconnect and reconnect the power to the unit and start the power up procedure again.
Check that the windscreen has not been specially treated to reflect UV rays (Metal Oxide, Athermic, solar reflective). Please check
with the local vehicle dealer or manufacturer to ascertain what type of windscreen is fitted to your vehicle. If you do have this type
of windscreen place the 4ZERO Elite BT where there is a clear section of glass usually situated near the rearview mirror or near the
centre of the windscreen just above the dashboard. If you do not have clear section on the windscreen then unfortunately the 4ZERO
Elite BT will not work in that vehicle.
The satellite signal temporarily or permanently drops out
This may happen temporarily in areas where there are a significant number of tall buildings or trees or whilst driving through a
tunnel. The signal should only be lost for a few seconds and then quickly reacquired.
Check that the device has not moved and that the built in GPS antenna still has a good clear view of the sky above.
Very occasionally you may experience bad satellite coverage that may lead you to loosing a signal. This should last no longer than a
few minutes.
If you have a specially treated windscreen some manufacturers leave a small section of the windscreen untreated. If the unit is not
positioned properly in this untreated area then the unit may loose satellite signal frequently. Reposition the unit within this untreated
area.
The device does not appear to respond to Police speed monitoring systems
Have you performed a download recently? If not, perform a fresh download to ensure that you have all the latest coordinates stored
on your device.
Check that the unit is positioned in such a way that the lens has a clear view of the road ahead and is unobstructed by any metallic
objects (such as windscreen wipers). The laser lens at the rear of the unit, this must also be unobstructed.
