Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
My device is not
acquiring satellite
signals.
• Verify that the GPS simulator is turned off (page 21).
• Select Tools > Settings > System > GPS Mode > GPS off.
• Take your device out of parking garages and away from tall buildings
and trees.
• Remain stationary for several minutes.
The suction cup
will not stay on my
windshield.
• Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol.
• Dry with a clean, dry cloth.
• Mount the suction cup (page 1).
The device does not
charge in my vehicle.
• Check the fuse in the vehicle power cable (page 26).
• Verify the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the power
outlet.
• Your device can only charge between 32°F and 113°F (between
0°C and 45°C). If the device is placed in direct sunlight or in a hot
environment, it cannot charge.
My battery does not
stay charged for very
long.
To maximize the time between changes, turn down the backlight (page 23).
My battery gauge does
not seem accurate.
Allow the unit to fully discharge, and fully charge it (without interrupting the
charge cycle).
How do I know my
device is in USB mass
storage mode?
When your device is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of a device
connected to a computer is shown on the device screen. Also, you should
