- Position the GPS module in a suitable location on the dashboard in the vehicle to receive optimal signal.
- It is recommended that the display is installed on the centre of the dashboard, close to the windscreen to enable wires to be hidden and ensure a good view for the driver. Install the display using 3M tape after first cleaning the surface.
- After turning on the device for the first time, or after having moved the device, press and hold the power button whilst the device is powered on for 3-5 seconds to reset/zero the pitch and roll angle to ensure that the values are accurate.
Settings
Time Zone
To change the default time zone of the device, press and hold the power button
whilst the device is off. Turn the device on and the current time zone setting
will be displayed on the Speed display (5).
Note : the default time zone is set to GMT.
Press the power button to cycle to the desired value and then turn off the
device. When the device is next powered on, the time zone will be set to the
chosen value.
Measurement
To measurement readings (speed, altitude, temperature) of the device can be
adjusted from metric to imperial.
Note: The device is set to Metric by default.
To change the measurement type, press and hold the measurement button down by inserting a needle point tool in the measurement button hole (13) whilst the device and vehicle ignition are switched off. Then switch on the vehicle ignition. A ‘C’ (Metric) or ‘F’ (Imperial) will be displayed on screen. To cycle between the options, turn off the ignition and press and hold the measurement button down to display the next option. Once the desired option has been set, turn on the device.
Attention
- Due to the affect of the GPS signal, the speed may be delayed, and at the same time, the speed, electronic compass and elevation altitude can’t be displayed normally.
- The GPS signal has a great influence on the elevation altitude, so the lack of GPS signal is a little bigger when it’s obstructed by surroundings (ie buildings, forest).
- The temperature sensor is inside the concentrator, so the indoor temperature is dependent on its position inside the vehicle.
