Troubleshooting
My device will not acquire GPS signals
If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could
be a few causes. If the device has moved a large distance
since the last time it has acquired satellites or has been
turned off for longer than a few weeks or months, the
device may not be able to acquire the satellites correctly.
• Ensure the device is using the latest software. If
not, update the device software (
).
• Make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so
the antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted
inside of a cabin, it should be close to a window so it
can receive the GPS signal.
My device will not turn on or keeps turning off
Devices erratically turning off or not turning on could
indicate an issue with the power supplied to the device.
Check these items to attempt to troubleshoot the cause of
the power issue.
• Make sure the power source is generating power.
You can check this several ways. For example, you can
check whether other devices powered by the source
are functioning.
• Check the fuse in the power cable.
The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of
the red wire of the power cable. Check that the proper
size fuse is installed. Refer to the label on the cable
or the installation instructions for the exact fuse size
needed. Check the fuse to make sure there is still a
connection inside of the fuse. You can test the fuse
using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the multimeter
reads 0 ohm.
